CPM-S35VN is a modified version of the popular S30V steel. It is specifically designed to offer better toughness and easier machining and polishing. Compared to S30V, S35VN provides approximately 15-20% improved toughness, although there is a slight decrease in wear resistance (edge retention). Additionally, S35VN offers slightly higher corrosion resistance, similar to AISI 420 steel. Overall, S35VN is a well-balanced steel that is suitable for everyday use.
