What is one of the best steels used in cutlery?

The Presidio II knife blade is made of CPM S30V. This steel is exclusively made in the United States, offers excellent edge retention and resists rust effortlessly. This steel was designed in the United States and is typically used for high-end pocket knives.

As it was designed specifically for cutlery, you can expect all the best qualities in a knife. Considered one of the best steels for knife blades, with an optimal balance between sharpness retention, hardness and resistance. One of the only downsides to this steel is that due to its hardness, it is quite difficult to sharpen.

The advantage is that the edge lasts longer.

The blade

The blade was forged in the form of a drop point blade. This is the most popular blade shape in the cutlery industry today. This blade shape is versatile and durable. The pointed blade shape features a lowered tip which allows for greater control and adds strength to the tip. The tip of a drop point knife is much stronger than that of a switchblade knife, and just as sharp.

It is also because of the strength of the tip and its ability to withstand heavy use that the drop point blade is a great option for tactical and survival knives.

Its design and the robust materials used for its creation make it an exceptional piece, while offering it a efficiency optimal.
