Böhler K329 is a high-performance tool steel produced by Böhler, designed primarily for industrial applications but also gaining popularity in the knife-making community due to its excellent balance of toughness, wear resistance, and edge retention.

Key Characteristics:

• Steel Type: Medium-alloyed cold work tool steel.

• Composition (approximate):

  • Carbon: ~1.5%

  • Chromium: ~12%

  • Molybdenum, Vanadium, and other alloying elements present for enhanced wear resistance and hardenability.

• Hardness: Can be heat treated to reach hardness levels suitable for demanding cutting applications (around 58–63 HRC).

• Toughness: Higher toughness compared to some high-wear steels, making it more resistant to chipping.

• Corrosion Resistance: Moderate — better than plain carbon steels, but not stainless; requires care to prevent rust in humid or corrosive environments.

• Wear Resistance: High — good for knives that see abrasive use or repeated impact.

Use in Knives:

K329 is valued in knife making for tools, outdoor knives, and hard-use blades where a combination of edge retention and toughness is needed. It’s not as commonly seen as steels like D2 or M390, but is respected by custom makers for its reliability and performance.
