What Makes This Different
CPM S45VN steel represents a significant upgrade over conventional knife steels, offering enhanced toughness and wear resistance through advanced powder metallurgy. The black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating reduces friction while providing superior corrosion protection compared to standard finishes. This combination delivers measurably longer edge retention - testing shows 2-3 times the cutting performance of 440C stainless steel.Key Features
