s30v/ CPM-s30v questions

[John79]

I just recieved a Spyderco Swick in CPM-s30v. Love it so far. I heard Spyderco under hardens their steels. Is this true? What is the hardness of their CPM-s30v? Whats the difference between s30v and CPM-s30v?

S30V and CPM-S30V are the same thing and spyderco also has one of the best HT's of S30V I have yet to see.

My Spydercos in S30V tested to 59 RC except for my 58 RC Manix, which actually performs the best out of my S30V knives that I've had.

CPM just is short for Crucible Particle Metallurgy.

Yeah, no difference.

There is a big difference between CPM154 / 154CM, CPM D2 / D2 though. S30V isn't possible without the particle metallurgy process.

Is this true?

no, it's not true.
