The steel difference
CPM CruWear
Tough and wear-resistant at once, with more corrosion resistance than most tool steels. A hard steel to argue with if you can maintain it.
CPM-S30V
The long-time American benchmark. Holds an edge far longer than 420HC and still sharpens on ordinary stones. Chippy if you pry with it.
