CPM S30V is a martensitic (hardened) powder-made (sintered) wear and corrosion-resistant stainless steel developed by Dick Barber of Crucible Industries in collaboration with knifemaker Chris Reeve. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Its chemistry promotes the formation and even distribution of vanadium carbides , which are harder and more resistant to abrasion than ...
Western-style (i.e., flexible) fillet knives made from 4116 are specifically marketed as intended for saltwater fishing because of the corrosion resistance of this steel. On a separate but related note, the X55CrMoV14 described below as Swiss Army Knife steel and also known as Krupp 4110 is also part of this CrMoV steel family.
Schrade Cutlery [47] and Spyderco use 154CM, 440C, D2, S30V, S60V and S90V steel, [48] [49] [50] and Ernest Emerson's knives are hard-ground from differentially heat-treated A2 tool steel. [51] Emerson Knives machines blades from 154CM steel, [citation needed] and Mike Snody uses A2, S35V, 154CM and 440C steels. [52] [53] Phill Hartsfield's ...
[7] [8] Before 1981, the specially heat treated stainless steel used was 440C, and from 1981 to 1992 the company used 425M steel. Since 1993, Buck has mostly used 420HC stainless steel for Model 110 blades, although CPM S30V steel has also been used for some production runs. Its design is one of the most imitated knife patterns in the world. [1]
Strider Knives makes folding knives and fixed-blade knives, using metals such as ATS-34, CPM S30V steel, titanium, stellite, beryllium, damascus steel, and BG-42 for the blades. Currently Strider does runs in many premium super steels (CTS-204P, Z-Wear, CTS-40CP, CTS-B75P, CPM-154, CPM-S110V,CPM-3V).
A large part of the firm's knife production is outsourced to foreign contractors in countries such as Japan, Taiwan, Italy, and China, [13] though many of their flagship knives are made in the US. Knives made with CPM S30V steel were previously all made in Golden, Colorado; however, Spyderco began shipping CPM-S30V to Taiwan to have their ...
In 1996, the blade material was changed to BG-42 blade steel, and later in 2001, the Sebenza blade material transitioned to CPM S30V steel. CPM S30V was developed by Crucible Steel with the collaboration of Chris Reeve. [6] Damascus steel blades are also available as an option on the Sebenza. Since 2012, all Chris Reeve knives have transitioned ...
