Question:

Is m390 steel aka 20cv steel a tool steel?

I just purchased this Benchmade knife with m390 steel blade and it cost me a fortune but I wanted to know if this new steel is a tool steel. what classifies a tool steel. M390 = 1.9 carbon, 20. chromium, .30 manganese, 1. molybdenum, .60silicon, .60 tugsten, 4. vanadium at 60-62 HRC

Answer:

Which has better songs - Number Of the Beast Which has better riffs - British Steel Which has better solos - Number of The Beast Which has better vocals - Number of the Beast Which has a cooler cover - Number of the Beast Which do You prefer - This is a real thinker, almost like Sophies Choice Metal edition. But I have owned Number and the Beast longer than I have owned British Steel. So I go with Iron Maiden Both albums get a perfect 10 because they deserve it, both have great musicianship and both have great vocals
M390 Steel
Not all tool steels work well in knife blades, but some of them are very popular. D2, M2, M4 and many others.
Congratulations you can read a table of steels. Yes M390 is a tool steel. Blades is one application as is the manufacture of injection moulding tools.
