Manufactured with the same materials used for the Step Steel line, the Velocity Steel line (V-STEEL) raises the industry's standards by bringing material R&;D to new heights. The V-STEEL is the result of extensive research on the effects of blade side finish. By heavily polishing the sides of the steel, we obtain a mirror finish which promotes significantly more flow, and better edge retention. The V-Steel is also exposed to the same rigorous list of quality control tests. V-Steel has all of Step Steel's Features. Centerline Guide accurately displays the center of the profile. Exclusive feature developed by Step and only available on Step products.
