CPM S35-VN

DESCRIPTION

Produced by Crucible looking to make minute improvements to their S30-V stainless, a retuned chemistry based on vanadium and chromium, the addition of Niobium improved toughness and wear resistance over other stainless steels such as 440-C.

In its annealed state, S35-VN is easily machined to a degree, which is one reason it is a choice among makers who do a portion of their cold work on a CNC or when used for folders.

When considering options, keep a special place for those times S35-VN may be a top choice for a solid knife with performance written all over it.
