Boy Joe, it looks like you sure know how to make a flipper! Love the bronze anno, kind of gives it a worn look. Please keep me in mind when you come up with a 3.5" or shorter blade. Nice work on these , it will make someone happy.

Thanks!!
I will let you know when the smaller blades come to be!!
 
Just a heads up, CPM154 and 154CM are two separate alloys, and should be labeled as such.
Which are your knives made with?

Nice looking work, I will be keeping an eye out for future posts.

I am using CPM154CM, the blades are marked with the steel, next to the logo on the lock side.
Thanks!

What I was originally trying to say is that there is no alloy called CPM154CM. There is CPM154 and 154CM, but "CPM154CM" does not exist.

I was asking which of the two alloys you use?

Edit-Bill beat me to it while I was typing, lol

He was pointing out that there is no alloy "CPM154CM" made by Crucible Metals...only 154CM and CPM154, so which one is it?

Its CPM154 which is the Crucible version of 154CM.

For the most part everyone seems to be labeled as CPM154 CM.

Thanks

CPM154 is not "Crucible version of 154CM". CPM154 is the "Crucible Particle Metallurgy" version of 154CM. The two alloys are entirely separate due to being manufactured via different means. One is sprayed formed (CPM154), and the other is Ingot formed (154CM).

Crucible makes both alloys, and the CPM version will outperform the ingot version slightly. They are not the same.

This would be like bringing a pen to fill in a standardized test when it plainly states that it needs a No. 2 pencil. Just because it is a writing implement does not mean it is the same. Just because it is a steel that is named something similar, doesn't mean it is the same (a pen vs pencil).Screenshot_2018-07-05-22-37-39.png
See the manufacturer up top, and every steel that has "154" in the name.
 
CPM 154 is CPM-manufactured version of Crucible’s standard 154 CM. The CPM manufacturing process produces a uniform distribution of the carbides in this grade, giving this CPM 154 easier grinding and polishing, plus better toughness, than conventional 154 CM, while retaining similar heat treat response and wear properties. CPM 154 offers better corrosion resistance, better wear resistance and better hot-hardness than 440C, plus higher toughness. For knifemakers, it offers better edge retention and chipping resistance than 440C.

Straight from there website
 
We supply the CPM alloys and 154CM for the knife industry and I understand the confusion. Our certs say CPM 154-CM which is a holdover from our old ERP system. I wouldn't deduct any points if you used CPM 154-CM or CPM 154. The latter is more common in the industry.

Bob,
Thanks for that info!
I have heard for many years it being called CPM 154 CM.
