CPM 3V is a high-performance powder metallurgy tool steel developed by Crucible Industries to maximize toughness while maintaining good wear resistance. Its CPM process ensures a fine and uniform carbide structure, significantly improving durability compared to conventional tool steels. While it is not stainless, it is widely respected for its ability to withstand extreme impact, bending, and abusive cutting tasks without chipping or breaking. It is often considered one of the best all-around survival knife steels when corrosion control is managed.
