Collection: AR-RPM9 Knives

Discover the cutting-edge performance and remarkable value of our AR-RPM9 knives collection at Blade Forge. As a relatively new player in the high-performance steel arena, AR-RPM9 (Artisan-Refined Powdered Metallurgy) has quickly garnered attention for its unique blend of properties, offering an impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance at a surprisingly accessible price point. For knife enthusiasts in Australia seeking a dependable and high-performing blade without breaking the bank, AR-RPM9 is an excellent contemporary choice.

What Makes AR-RPM9 a Standout Blade Steel?
Developed by Artisan Cutlery, AR-RPM9 is a proprietary powdered metallurgy steel designed to bring the benefits of advanced steel manufacturing to a broader audience. Unlike traditional melted steels, the powder metallurgy process (similar to CPM steels) creates a very fine, uniform grain structure and evenly distributed carbides, resulting in a steel with superior performance:

• Balanced Performance: AR-RPM9 strikes an impressive balance across the key attributes: it holds a sharp edge well, offers good toughness (making it resistant to chipping), and provides solid corrosion resistance. This makes it a versatile performer for various tasks.
• Accessible Price Point: One of AR-RPM9's most compelling features is its ability to deliver near-premium performance at a much more affordable cost. This makes high-quality knife ownership more attainable without compromising on reliability.
• Ease of Sharpening: Despite its excellent edge retention, AR-RPM9 is generally considered user-friendly when it comes to sharpening, allowing you to maintain a razor-sharp edge with relative ease.
• Reliable for Everyday Use: Its well-rounded properties make it an ideal steel for everyday carry (EDC) knives, capable of handling a wide range of daily cutting chores with consistent performance.

Why Choose an AR-RPM9 Knife?
