CPM S35VN – American martensitic high-alloy stainless steel with a hardness of 59-61 HRC, one of the best steels for blade production. Designed to provide better strength compared to CPM S30V, while maintaining corrosion resistance at the highest level. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries using Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM). The CPM process produces a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and toughness compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The chemical composition is balanced to consist of 0.5% niobium (Nb) carbides together with 3.0% vanadium (V) and 14.0% chromium (Cr) carbides. Replacing some of the niobium carbides with vanadium carbides makes the steel about 15-20% harder than S30V without compromising wear resistance, and it is also easier to machine and polish. The improved toughness of CPM S35VN also provides better resistance to edge chipping.

Vacuum & Cryogenic - the steel undergoes a specialized heat treatment process involving two key stages. Vacuum Heat Treatment the steel is hardened in a vacuum environment, which minimizes oxidation and ensures more uniform metal properties. This process increases the strength and structural integrity of the steel. Cryogenic Treatment: After heating, the steel is rapidly cooled to extremely low temperatures, often below -100°C (-148°F). This transformation converts retained austenite into martensite, significantly increasing hardness, wear resistance and overall durability. Thanks to these advanced processes, the steel ensures exceptional performance, offering both razor-sharp edge retention and extraordinary blade durability.

Blade - Clip Point type, finished with an elegant satin finish. The long cutting edge with a prominent belly converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the wide blade. The thickness of the blade ensures high durability, while the high, flat grind gives the cutting edge perfect geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings ensure that the flipper mechanism opens and closes the blade smoothly. The back of the blade has upper jimping, a ridged thumb rest. The lock mechanism is a robust frame lock with a steel inlay to prevent the lock face from wearing off.

Handle - made of titanium 6AL4V with flame-polished tiger stripes, a virtually indestructible metal that is resistant to weather, chemicals and mechanical damage, are screwed to the steel frame of the knife. The open-backed design without a typical backspacer, attached to each other with steel spacers, makes cleaning easier. The simple, solid design ensures many years of use. The pivot axis is decorated with a titanium cap (Pivot Cap) in a contrasting color. The single-position (right) titanium deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in a tip-up position (with the tip of the blade up). Above the clip there is a hole for a safety or decorative cord.
