CPM S30V - one of the best knife steels, corrosion resistant, mechanical stress resistant American CPM S30V martensitic powder steel with added carbon, chromium and vanadium with a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Developed by Dick Barber of Crucible Industries in collaboration with knife maker Chris Reeve to offer the best combination of strength, abrasion and corrosion resistance. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries according to the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. The CPM process yields a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The alloy contains 1.45% carbon (C) and a significant admixture of vanadium carbides 4.0% (V) and chromium 10.5% (Cr). Thanks to its properties, it holds sharpness for a very long time and provides high corrosion resistance.
Blade - a smooth blade (Plain type) was made with a full flat cut (Full Flat Grind). Enlarged 14 mm round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) for ambidextrous thumb opening. The refined, precisely machined mechanism of the Back-Lock blade blockade guarantees a remarkable smoothness of operation. The notched thumb rest (upper jimping) on the back of the blade and the Finger Choil (undercutting the index finger between the handle and the cutting edge) make it easier to control the knife.
Handle - profiled, covered with non-slip textured black linings provides a comfortable and secure grip. Made of durable, resistant to high and low temperatures, chemicals G-10. The linings were attached to a solid spacer (so-called backspacer / handle lining connector) made of stainless steel, which ensures the strength of the structure. The whole thing was attached with torx screws to make it easier to twist and unfold the folder. Metal clip made of polished steel with the possibility of mounting in four planes (up/down, right/left). 4-way clip positions. In the rear part, an enlarged hole for a cable.

Przeczytaj!
This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
