Description: CPM-3V Toughness Does it matter? After testing a lot of different knife steel types I realize that it probably doesn't matter. Theres too many variables to draw a conclusion based on hitting a knife with a piece of wood. When it comes to steel toughness, everything matters, even the surface finish. An average Joe, using basic sub 5 figure equipment in his garage, isn't going to be able to make accurate measurements concerning steel toughness. When it comes to choosing a steel for a certain knife heat treatment matters more than anything else. I can easily heat treat certain types of steel and give them the properties I want. Where as other types (3v ,s7 ,4v, m4 etc.) can NOT be easily heat treated. Even using a "precise" heat treating oven designed for knife making. UNLESS you have a hardness tester. Ill be doing a follow up video to this one explains why.
