CPM S90V is a high-performance powder metallurgical steel with extremely high wear resistance. Its high vanadium content ensures exceptional edge retention, while its corrosion resistance is typical for a rust-resistant premium steel.
Three key characteristics of the steel: edge retention, rust resistance, and sharpenability
Edge retention: extremely high
★★★★★
The very high content of vanadium carbides ensures exceptional wear resistance.
Rust resistance: very high
★★★★★
The high chromium content allows for very good corrosion resistance.
Sharpenability: demanding
★★☆☆☆
The high wear resistance makes resharpening significantly more complex than with traditional knife steels.
Areas of application
Premium pocket knives: S90V is particularly suitable for users who prefer maximum edge retention.
EDC: The long service life reduces the need for frequent resharpening.
