ELMAX Steel
S30V steel is a popular stainless steel, which, like ELMAX, is a powdermade steel. It is tougher than other popular metals such as 440C and D2, as well as more wear resistant. Yet when compared to ELMAX, it does not perform as well. When ground to 62 HRC, an ELMAX blade is far more dependable than one made of S30V.
