Featured on Page 122. February 2004 issue.
Myth disputed, the fruit of my research, a clearly defined temper line (see arrows, the light line) in the CPM S30V stainless blade. This is going to stir some controversy within the knife community and beyond. For further reading please see Blade Magazine February Issue 2004, page 122. Please click for article in pdf fomat. Note: Image has to be scanned dark, so the temper line is visible.
