This is a work in progress, since companies are always updating, changing, and re-arranging the steels in their lineups.
This post is going to be a list of blade steels, by manufacturer first, then knife name. If a knife has been made of more than one steel, I will try to list them from newest to oldest, so that the information reflects what you see in the community.
I want to be informative, without filling fifty pages. So, there will be some things I can't do.
I will not be listing custom knives. Sorry.
I will not attempt to list every knife by every knife company, because that would take me over the fifty page limit that I randomly chose for myself. The ones I see being discussed most often are the ones that will get listed.
If you want to help improve this list, or see something I missed, post up! Right now, it's very rough, but I'll keep working on it as time and my ADD permits.
Try to include a link to your source, mostly because I like pictures.
Benchmade
Adamas: D-2
707: 154 CM
Griptilian/Mini-Griptilian: 154CM
D2
Bohler N680
S30V
Boker
Gnome: 12C27
Nano: 440C
Subcom: AUS-8
440C
Buck
110: 420 HC Stainless
Vantage: 420 HC Stainless
S30V (Pro version)
Chris Reeve -more like mid-tech, but popular enough to include
Sebenza: CPM S30V
CPM S35VN (2001)
BG-42 (1996)
ATS-34 (1990)
ESEE
Izula/Izula II: 1095
Candiru: 1095
Kershaw
Cryo: 8Cr13MoV
Rake: 14C28N (blade edge)
Leek: Sandvik 14C28N
Skyline: 14C28N
Spyderco I'm not worried about Sprint Run steels.
Ambitious: 8Cr13MoV,
Delica: VG-10, ZDP-189, simultaneous and continuous production, apparently.
Endura: VG-10, ZDP-189.
Military: CPM S30V is the usual steel for the Millie/Para Millie.
Native: CPM S35VN
Persistence: 8Cr13MoV
Pingo: Bohler N690Co
Resilience: 8Cr13MoV
Techno: CTS-XHP
Tenacious: 8Cr13MoV,
Strider also more of a mid-tech
PT: CPM S30V
SNG: CPM S30V
SMF: CPM S30V
Zero Tolerance
0350: S30V
0550: S35VN
0561: Elmax
I have edited out the Rockwell hardness numbers, in part because I doubt that it is important information for the majority of the knife-using public. Typical knife blade hardness is between 55 and 62 Rockwell.
Thanks for looking!
