Forgive my ignorance but I have heard everyone saying that S90V is good but what are its characteristics? Why is it better than, say, CPM-S30V? :)

Interesting ... so similar to ZDP-189 but more Vanadium ... so does that mean that it has as much edge-retension as ZDP-189 but better corrosion resistance?Scottie3000 wrote:It's about the most wear resistant thing out there. 9% vanadium.

Thanks Ken - very interesting - sounds like a really high-end steel ... if Carpenter's is anything close then I'd love to see a UKPK made out of it :Dkbuzbee wrote:You may find this thread helpful:
