If you find data on impact strength you will normally find a significant difference in that transverse impact strength is lower than longitudinal impact strength. The CPM steels don't have that difference.
However I don't remember any study by knife makers to find the diffence in practical terms. It might show up in batonning if you hit the blade off square.There a blade cut tranverse to the rolling direction would be better.
