Nitro-V draws its lineage from steels like AEB-L and 14C28N. It appears to me to be an improvement over these with higher corrosion resistance than AEB-L and higher hardness than 14C28N while still keeping a fine grain resulting in high toughness. The increased C and N aid in higher hardness and the V addition helps keep grains smaller at the higher austenitizing temperatures required for higher hardness.
Overall I think it's a great stainless steel choice for those looking for high toughness in a stainless steel and want more corrosion resistance than AEB-L. It is key that it is hardened properly to at least above 59HRc to appreciate the fine edge performance. If abrasive materials like cardboard or rope are commonly cut, this steel is probably not the best choice due to low carbide content and no VC.
CORRECTIONS:
5:26 Nitrogen forms nitrides not carbides.
5:58 Particle metallurgy not just crucibles CPM process.
12:17 LC200N has all nitrides not carbides.
