What is 5Cr15?
5Cr15 is a moderately priced stainless steel that has been used by many knife manufacturers around the world. It is very similar to 420hc steel but has a bit less vanadium, more chromium, and added molybdenum.
5Cr15 is a very economical steel that gained popularity due to its good corrosion resistance due to a good amount of chromium. Along with this, it is also very easy to sharpen with the proper tools.
5Cr15 Chemical Component
| Carbon (C) | Chromium | Molybdenum | Manganese | Vanadium |
| 0.50% | 15% | 0.60% | 0.40% | 0.10% |
5Cr15MoV Equivalent Steels
5Cr15MoV is very similar to 420hc, 8cr13MoV, and also the German steel X50CrMoV15 or 1.4116.
The German steel X50CrMoV15 was made by Thyssen and has been used in many good quality German kitchen knives over the last 40 years.
Compared to 420hc, 5Cr15 has roughly the same amount of carbon, but has a higher chromium content and a little less Vanadium. This makes 5Cr15 a little more corrosion resistant and a little less resistant to abrasion than 420hc.
