Does Medford use CPM D2?

We believe that modern D2 is the best bang for the buck in high-end knives. It can do almost everything as well as almost everyone needs. For mandatory true stainless specs we use S35VN, as it is outstanding at everything knives must do. When ultimate strength is required, with no care for corrosion, we use CPM 3V.

How good is 8Cr14MoV steel?

8Cr14Mov and it’s variants (including 8Cr14MoV) is actually excellent steel for the money. Like AUS-8, it lacks the edge retention of the higher end steels but can take a wicked edge and is reasonably tough and corrosion resistant. For EDC knives in the $35 and under bracket 8Cr13MoV is really tough steel to beat.
