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?
