S30V Steel Knives FAQ

What is S30V steel, and why is it so popular for EDC knives?

S30V is a Crucible “powder metallurgy” stainless steel designed specifically for knives (with input from Chris Reeve). It’s popular because it balances strong edge retention with solid toughness for everyday carry.

Is S30V stainless, and how corrosion-resistant is it?

Yes, S30V is considered a stainless steel. It resists rust well for normal EDC use, but it still benefits from basic care (wipe it down, especially after sweat, food, or salt exposure).

Does S30V chip easily?

Early S30V sometimes got a reputation for chipping at the edge, but modern heat treats from reputable makers have largely solved that. If you’re hard on edges or prefer extra toughness, consider S35VN as an alternative.

What's the difference between S30V and S35VN?

S35VN is often viewed as a small upgrade in toughness (especially at the edge) while keeping very similar edge retention to S30V. If you want a bit more margin for tougher cutting, S35VN is worth a look.

Which brands commonly use S30V?

S30V is widely used by major production brands, including Benchmade, Spyderco, Kershaw, Buck, and many others, especially on “step-up” EDC models where buyers want premium performance without going full custom.
