A2, O1 or PM-V11 – which steel should I choose for my Veritas plane?
Veritas planes come with three types of steel. All give sharp edges, but they differ in how long the edge lasts and how easy the steel is to sharpen:
O1 – carbon steel that gets very sharp and is the easiest to hone
A2 – tool steel that holds an edge longer but takes a little longer to sharpen
PM-V11 – Veritas powder-metallurgy steel that holds an edge long and is still easy to sharpen
PM-V11 is the premium choice. O1 suits you if you sharpen often and want the keenest edge.
