busse used cpm s30 in the rat trap. how does s30 compare with the other popular cpm steels in proformance? I don't care about rust so I want to know more about strength and edge retention.
here are the steels I am curios about in comparison to s30.
cpm s90
cpm s60
cpm 154
cpm d2

thanks for the input.

You can do the research here: CPM stands for Crucible Powder Metallurgy
Crucible

Their site is very informative and even shows comparisons between the different steels. Hope this helps.
