Well, if they heat treated it properly(and, I'm sure they did), you should have one heck of a great user. I love 3V. Just keep it wiped down, 3V likes to pit.

I spent a EXTRA 100.00 for this knife because of the steel

3V should be able to take more an extra $100 worth of beatings. Fehrman uses it in his knives and Fehrman owners have used their 3V knives in all kinds of strange ways.

A2 is a great steel but, for hard use especially, CPM 3V is a winner. If you are going to put it in a glass case under a bankers light, the extra performance of the steel is probably not required. If you are going to use it, as it was meant to be used, you are going to find CPM 3V to be an even better choice then A2. So, yes, for a user it was a $100 well spent.
