This is a premium type of stainless steel made by Crucible Industries in the US. S30V retains its sharpness well and is very corrosion resistant. Moreover, with the right tools, it is also easy to sharpen yourself. Several leading figures in the knife world collaborated on the development of CPM S30V. Including knife makers like Chris Reeve, Sal Glesser, Ernest Emerson, Tony Marfione, Phil Wilson, Bill Harsey, Mike Jones, Steve Ingrim, Tom Mayo, Jerry Hossom and Paul Bos. The stonewash process was chosen for the finish of this blade. The stonewash process involves the blade being placed inside a drum with ceramic stones, or media, and then vibrated or tumbled for several hours. The result is a finish that looks precisely polished or roughened depending on the version. The advantage of stonewashing, however, is that signs of use are much less noticeable. That makes it a popular choice for knives that see a lot of use. ## About BenchmadeBenchmade was founded in 1987 by Les de Asis in California. It began as a small company producing butterfly knives.
