hellokitty,
First, welcome aboard Sir. It's good to see you here.
That Sebenza you carry is made by the same guy (Chris Reeve) who suggested to Crucible Specialty Tool Steels the chemical composition of that type of steel and the result is the CPM S-30V.
Much credit due Crucible for the amount of research and fine tuning it took to make this happen, it was not easy or overnight.
Chris and I ran the "caveman knifemaking" tests with it before it was on the market.
If it failed at any one of several key points, we would not be using it.
This steel has served us and our users well.
