The 80CrV2 steel of the Brisa Kephart 115 knife is particularly well-suited for bushcraft use due to its extreme toughness and impact resistance. While many stainless steels tend to chip at the cutting edge under intensive use such as chopping or batoning, this carbon steel offers high stability and reliability under load. Although it often falls short of modern high-performance stainless steels in terms of pure edge retention, it compensates with its ease of resharpening in the field. However, unlike stainless steel alternatives, it is susceptible to corrosion and requires regular maintenance and oiling.
