Collection: S30V Knives

Step into the legacy of high-performance blade steels with our collection of S30V knives at Blade Forge. When Crucible Industries introduced CPM S30V, it revolutionised the knife world, setting a new standard for everyday carry (EDC) and utility blades. For years, it was the go-to "super steel," offering an unmatched combination of properties that quickly made it a favourite among enthusiasts and manufacturers alike. If you're seeking a proven, reliable, and high-performing blade, an S30V knife remains an excellent choice for any user in Australia.

S30V: A Pioneer in Premium Knife Steel
CPM S30V was specifically designed by Crucible for knife applications, utilising their advanced Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. This means the steel powder is atomised and then hot-isostatically pressed, resulting in a remarkably uniform grain structure with very fine carbides. This innovative approach yields a steel with a fantastic balance of attributes:

• Exceptional Edge Retention: S30V is well-known for its ability to hold a very keen edge for extended periods, even under regular use. This means fewer sharpening sessions and more time cutting.
• Good Corrosion Resistance: With a high chromium content, S30V offers strong resistance to rust and staining, making it a reliable choice for various environments, including humid conditions.
• Solid Toughness: While perhaps not as tough as some of the newer, ultra-tough tool steels, S30V provides a very good level of toughness for its wear resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of tasks without being overly prone to chipping.
• American Made Excellence: As a product of Crucible Industries, S30V carries the reputation of high-quality American steel manufacturing.

Why Choose an S30V Knife from Blade Forge?
While newer steels like S35VN and S45VN have emerged as refinements, S30V still holds its own as a top-tier performer. Choosing an S30V knife means you're investing in:

• Proven Performance: It's been rigorously tested in real-world conditions for decades and continues to impress with its consistent capabilities.
• Reliability: You can depend on an S30V blade to perform reliably across a wide range of everyday and outdoor cutting tasks.
• Value: Often, S30V knives offer an excellent balance of premium performance at a more accessible price point than some of the very latest super steels.
