AEB-L stainless steel is a renowned cutlery material for its outstanding quality and performance. It is widely used by cutlery craftsmen because of its specific properties.
AEB-L steel is a high-end stainless steel, specially designed to offer excellent corrosion resistance and good sharpness retention capacity.
A key feature of AEB-L steel is its relatively low carbon content, making it easier to sharpen and maintain. However, it still offers a high hardness, allowing to obtain a lasting and precise edge. In addition, the presence of chromium gives AEB-L steel increased corrosion resistance, making it ideal for humid environments.
AEB-L steel is also appreciated for its tenacity, i.e. its ability to withstand deformation and breakage. This makes it a reliable choice for knives for intensive uses.
Cutlery also appreciate the ease with which AEB-L steel can be worked. It is malleable and allows artisans to obtain complex shapes and precise finishes. In addition, it can be polished to obtain a smooth and aesthetically attractive surface.
