Is it CPM-154 or 154-CM? They are two different steels. Very nice blade either way!!!!

 

[Barker]

It is Crucible CPM 154 CM. I am confused by your ?

John,

I think this is what he is referring too.

"3.5" CPM154CM blade with satin finish"

I like the Red and white configuration! :thumbup:

Actually I was asking is it 154CM or the Crucible version which they market as CPM-154. Same basic steel makeup, just the manufacturer I'm pretty sure. There is no such thing as CPM154CM that I know. It really doesn't matter, just curious is all. Fantastic knives and love to see your work. The grinds are perfection!

154cm is a steel made by crucible that has been made for 30+ years and used by many knife companies (like benchmade)

cpm 154 is also made by crucible but the "P" is for powder metalurgy.... so its basically the same formula but the grain will be tighter, more refined and have smaller carbides. This is a relatively new method to make this steel (the last year or two)

I think thats what it is atleast my steel and metalurgical knowledge is very limited

oh and by the way it sure is pretty
