51crv4 German Spring Steel

51crv4 German Spring steel is Cloudhammer's entry level spring steel.  It's perfect for a beginning cutter since its resilience is very forgiving of poor edge alignment on harder targets.

Depending on heat treatment, it has 3-4x more impact resistance than the more common T10 clay tempered blade.

It is similar to the 5150 steel that Albion uses in its swords, with the addition of vandium for more toughness.
