Some information from the Spyderco website:

''Carpenter specifically developed CTS-20CP as a blade tool steel.  Its high vanadium content results in elevated corrosion-resistance and is manufactured with their proprietary Micro-Melt powdered steel technique.  The Micro-Melt process enables the finished blade to be machined to an ultra-fine edge with superior surface finish.''


CTS-20CP is Carpenter's version of Crucible's ever popular [[CPM-S90V]] and has been shown to offer almost identical performance in [http://spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49269 user testing].
