CPM S30V was developed by Crucible Industries in collaboration with renowned knife maker Chris Reeve specifically for knife applications. It became one of the most influential modern knife steels due to its balanced performance profile. The CPM process creates a fine and uniform carbide structure, improving toughness and wear resistance compared to traditional stainless steels. S30V remains one of the most widely used premium steels in production and custom knives because it offers strong all-around performance without extreme weaknesses.
