Uses of 154CM
Sometimes referred to as the crucible stainless steel, 154CM is one of the newer stainless steels on the market. There are a few manufacturers as we mentioned earlier, and depending on a few different factors, it may be considered better than (or at least as good as) 440C stainless steel. A popular use for 154CM is in survival knives that are often exposed to harsh elements like salt water for extended periods.
It’s also a very common steel used for cutlery, ball bearings, valve ports and metallic bushings. Many well-known survival and EDC knife makers use the steel liberally. Companies like Boker, Protech, Benchmade and Gerber are among a long list of bladesmiths that love the steel.
