An important feature of this knife is the steel, CPM S-30V. It's made by Crucible Steel in Syracuse New York using the particle metal process they invented. The result is unusual strength and sharpness because of the alloys and how it is made. This is an extraordinary tool steel for blade use. This isn't a sales pitch, just stating proven fact. Many others in the knife industry are now using this steel on the premium knives they manufacture.
The first ever production use of this steel was by Chris Reeve and myself in the knife called the Yarborough for United States Army Special Forces. We had been working with the test runs of this alloy for a year before it was commercially available. This is because Chris told Crucible what alloy mix he wanted in that type of steel and they did it. We both work closely with the metallurgical side of Crucible Specialty Tool Steels.
