What Is CPM-D2 Blade Steel? 

That’s awesome! Glad you’re here with us! 😎

I think you have got the kershaw composite blades backwards as the cutting edge is made of cpmD2 whereas the spine is made of n690 atleast on the ones that I own anyways...

Even TC gets confused 🤣

CPM-D2 is fantastic and underrated.

We love using and working with different steels to see how they fit how work/lives

@SMKWcom oh man, don't get me started; I could drone on and on about what steels I like for what circumstances and uses. I assume like a lot of us, I put a bunch of thought and time into what knife in what steel is going into my pocket on a given day. I pick a one based on several what-ifs that could pop up for what I plan to do and where I plan to be. Then I chuckle to myself when I could have used poorly treated 420j2 to open the bag of chips I used a PM2 in S110V on.😆 At least my knives get a workout on the job most days.

It is easy to get confused, Greg just stays that way to avoid all the extra running around 🤣

That was what were hoping to help with 🙌🙌🙌

That’s great to hear!

Do you think it's worth what benchmade is charging? I'm not being a jerk, I'm seriously asking.

@@megacab I mean, they sell CPM-154 knives for close to $300. So a full sized folder for under $200 ain't bad, relatively speaking. If you want a Benchmade but don't want to spend $300 then yeah I say its worth it.

@@arrowheadguys7637 thank you for the feedback sir

@@megacab Any time. I love my Benchmades. Wish they were about $50 cheaper but thats life. If you want it, get it. Thats my motto. I've heard nothing but good things about how Benchmade is heat-treating their CPM-D2 btw.

A good naming scheme can make a huge difference

Thanks for watching Randy! We often joke about one of the things you have to do now days is try to figure out how and what people are going to do with your product that it is not intended to do/for

No Benchmade product is worth what Benchmade is charging for it.

🙌🙌🙌

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. 😁

And 154cm is still a great steel, despite being old So it doesn't matter how old the knife steel is, it all depends how the company takes the steel, manipulate it, heat treat it and turn it into a finished knife product. Whether it's magna cut or 1095. Some companies [tops] charge hundreds for knives made in 1095 and people buy them up quickly

Thanks for watching

We always suggest wiping your blades off after use and applying a thin coating of oil
