Veritas conducted extensive testing and determined that PM-V11 offers the best balance of hardness, edge retention and ease of sharpening in tool steels. It hones to a very fine edge and can easily be sharpened with commonly available sharpening abrasives.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;\"\u003e\n   From Veritas\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cblockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.leevalley.com\/en-us\/discover\/woodworking\/2020\/september\/the-pm-v11-story\"\u003e\n   PM-V11 is a powdered metal (PM) alloy. To form a PM alloy, constituent metals are melted and mixed together, then atomized, creating very small particles that cool and harden, forming a powder. This powder is screened to ensure consistent particle size, and then heated under pressure to form a billet. The billet is then rolled to the required thickness, ready to process as a conventionally smelted steel would be. The PM process yields a steel with a very fine grain structure that is uniform throughout.\n  \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n \n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Veritas Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50822131810586,"sku":"478210","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/5167\/3370\/files\/478210-01d.jpg?v=1768343740","url":"https:\/\/www.highlandwoodworking.com\/products\/veritas-apron-plane","provider":"Highland Woodworking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
