Why a trailing point
The spine sweeps upward so the tip finishes above the spine line, giving an unusually long, deep belly. That belly is everything for skinning and filleting: it keeps the edge in contact through a long slicing stroke.
Every trailing point here →About CPM-S45VN
The S30V family's refresh — more chromium in solution than S35VN, so better corrosion resistance with a little more edge retention.
1-5 is a relative ranking drawn from published composition and hardness, not a lab measurement. Higher is better on every axis, and no steel is a 5 across the board — edge retention and toughness pull against each other. All CPM-S45VN knives
