CPM-S35VN: A modified version of S30V designed for improved toughness over and easier machining and polish. Toughness is improved roughly 15-20% with a slight decrease in wear resistance (edge retention). Corrosion resistance is also lightly higher, close to AISI 420. S35VN is a well-balanced steel for daily use.

Mike Irie: Mike Irie is more than just a knife maker from Colorado Springs, Colorado—he's also a collaborator and all-around nice guy. Since 1991, he's been crafting custom knives and contributing to the work of others through his expert blade grinding. That's right, this down-to-earth guy doesn't just create his own blades—he also grinds for other knife hotshots, including Pro-Tech Knives and a few others who would prefer to keep this well-kept secret under wraps.
