Cryogenic treatment?

[Rebel Nimrod]

Does Sypderco cryogenically treat their blades?

Huh[emoji55]

Maybe I'm using the wrong word? Freezing to a very low temperature.

Cryogenic and heat treat are opposite terms, as in freezing and heating. But, I think we get the idea. I do not know that they use this process. One of the competitors has used cryo on its lesser steel. Spyderco typically uses better steel. They have an excellent heat treatment.

I think many knife makers cryo their blades, even small custom makers. Spyderco uses so many different high alloy stainless steels I thought they may too, I just never heard either way.

Im sure you mean Cold Steel? Know they are pretty much on par in terms of steels. They now use CTSXHP on the majority of their folders (even one with CPM20CV) , and fixed blades with CPM 3V, VG1, VG1 San Mai 3, etc

there are private companies that do it.


Is there really a benefit to it? Sure there is.


Is it worth to get. Probably not.

Buck does it on their US made blades and some are inexpensive, couldn't cost too much on a larger scale. If Spyderco doesn't do it, they must feel it doesn't add anything to the performance.
