EVERYTHING

YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CPM-S90V

CPM-S90V BLADE STEEL

CPM-S90v is a premium powder metallurgy stainless steel known for it’s exceptional wear resistance and edge retention. It is a high-alloy steel with a significant content of vanadium and carbon, along with chromium and molybdenum, which contribute to this steel’s over-the-top cutting performance.

strengths

  • Exceptional edge retention

  • Extreme corrosion resistance

  • Outstanding edge stability allowing for a very fine (sharp) edge

  • Suitable for hard-use working environments where high-wear resistance is required

weaknesses

  • Difficult to sharpen and grind

  • Prone to chipping from high-impact or prying

  • Expensive

  • Not as tough as other steels

THIS VERSION OF THE BLACK TAIL

IS EQUIPPED LIMITED EDITION SCALES

We only made 20 of these Black Tails each will ship with a completely unique set of black and grey marbled G10 handle scales

Additionally, you can remove the marbled G10 scales and swap them out for the other set of scales of your choice that will be included in the box with the knife and leather sheath.

Or if you prefer a more minimalist EDC knife, you can remove the scales altogether and wrap the handle with paracord for maximum weight savings.

MEET THE MAKER

Having grown up in Texas, on my family’s homestead, it fostered a desire to seek next level tools and equipment that were more than just functional. Naturally, the creation of superior precision blades was a side effect warranted in this infinite search for perfection.

Instilled with a strong work ethic, family values, and a love for the unchartered, destiny came calling from the sea. The United States Navy has ingrained a faultless attention to detail, quality, and self-discipline in a way that leaves average or industry standard behind. These attributes have elevated each design in such a way, there are no two the same.
