Some makers will buy hundreds or thousands of pounds of steel. You can find some threads in their section of BF and see pictures of pallets and piles of stock in their shops.So, according to your own data, there is a 38$ difference between a bar of S30V and one of M4, that bar allows you to make 3 fixed blades, so a difference per blade of a whopping 13$.
And we are talking about custom knives, which cost several hundred dollars...
