Product information
A2 steel as a material for plane irons is becoming increasingly popular among woodworkers because its edge stays sharp for a particularly long time. This steel differs from carbon steel by the addition of 0.7% manganese, 5.0% chromium, 1.1% molybdenum, and 0.25% vanadium. Additionally, this steel undergoes a cryogenic treatment that increases the toughness of the steel without compromising its hardness (62 HRC). This significantly reduces edge chipping on challenging woods. To avoid confusion, all A2 irons from Hock are marked with "A2 Cryo". For bench planes only!
