M2 Steel Hardness

      The hardness of the M2 steel is quite notable, since it can reach as high as 62 HRC. That’s very hard, and very few steels can match that level. It’s the main reason why you’d want the M2 steel in a knife in the first place.

      Because of this hardness, its edge retention is quite good. Having a knife with M2 for the blade means you won’t have to sharpen the blade too frequently.
