CPM 3V, [16] a proprietary steel with a very high toughness of less than CPM 1V but more than A2 along with high wear resistance that is better than CPM 1V. Used by several custom knife makers and factories, including Jerry Hossom, Mike Stewart [Bark River], Reese Weiland, Nathan Carothers, and Dan Keffeler. CPM 4V, [17] a proprietary steel ...
Current and past models have used: German 4116 stainless steel, D2, 1055 high carbon steel, O-1 high carbon, SK-5 carbon steel, AUS 8A & 10A, CTS XHP, CPM S35VN, and CPM 3V tool steel. Cold Steel's folding knives are renowned for their lock strength, due to the TRI-AD Lock, designed by custom knifemaker Andrew Demko. [8]
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).
In 2009, Crucible Steel introduced an update to CPM-S30V to meet the needs of renowned knife maker Chris Reeve that they called CPM-S35VN. The addition of 0.5% Niobium, and reductions in both Carbon (from 1.45% to 1.40%) and Vanadium (from 4% to 3%) produced an alloy with 25% increase in measured Charpy V-notch toughness over S30V (Crucible claims 15-20% improvement).
A founder and president of the Knifemakers' Guild, Loveless has designed for Gerber Knives, [45] Lone Wolf Knives and Beretta. [46] 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.

A Battery: Eveready 742: 1.5 V: Metal tabs H: 101.6 L: 63.5 W: 63.5 Used to provide power to the filament of a vacuum tube. B Battery: Eveready 762-S: 45 V: Threaded posts H: 146 L: 104.8 W: 63.5 Used to supply plate voltage in vintage vacuum tube equipment. Origin of the term B+ for plate voltage power supplies.
Blade steels such as 154CM, D2, CPM S30V steel, CPM S90V steel, CPM 20CV, N690 and M390 are used on many models. Benchmade also uses high speed M2 and CPM M4 tool steels. [9] Benchmade receives a significant amount of revenue from selling restricted-sales knives to the military and law enforcement. [10]
The handle is 5 in (130 mm) long making the knife 8.75 in (222 mm) in length when opened. [1] The blade steel is Crucible's 154 CM and is 0.125 in (3.2 mm) thick, although CPM S30V steel, ATS-34, Damascus steel, and Titanium with a carbide edge have been used. [1] The butt-end of the knife features a hole for tying a lanyard. Some models are ...
