Blade Steels for Various Applications

Each individual’s needs in performance from their knife can vary. A person who uses their knife for tasks like opening boxes and letters will have different needs than a first responder who may need their knife to be extremely tough for tasks like prying.

Benchmade Knife Company offers a variety of different steels with different functional characteristics. If you’re looking for an incredibly tough steel with excellent edge retention but aren’t too concerned with it being stainless, then you might consider a steel like CPM-M4.

Or, if you want something well-balanced with good edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, then perhaps a steel like CPM-S30V might be a better fit for you.

With a wealth of information available at Benchmade.com you can best determine what steel would fit your individual need in performance.
