HEY! You promised not to tell!

Chance, some guys I know are calling the steel "S-30V". I always us the full and correct designation of "CPM S-30V" to try and side step possible confusion.

CPM stands for "Crucible Particle Metallurgy".
The "S-30V" designation stands for the specific alloy made using the CPM process.
It was Chris Reeve who suggested that alloy mix to the metallurgists at Crucible and they ran with it resulting in the steel that is used to make the Yarborough Knife.

Testing that stuff for two years prior to "market" was a very interesting experience.

Your using very good stuff.
