Do CPM 20CV and 20CV refer to the same steel material?

[bladeforumsuzer]

Is there any difference?

 

[Deino]

Yes

CPM stands for Crucible (company name) Particle Metallurgy. The 20CV is Crucible's codename for the steel.

There are a few steels where there is a CPM version and a conventional version, like CruWear and CPM CruWear. But 20CV is only available as CPM.
