Looking for opinions on this blade steel mainly on ease of sharpening and edge stability. I think I have read that Diamond Stones are pretty much a 'must have' and that SiC Stones won't get it done. Your thoughts, please...

Rhodies I have 4 Spyderco knives with S110v steel and I use the Venev industrial diamond stones with my K02 knife sharpener and they work great they cut threw S110v like's it's nothing,the Venev stones are Silicon Carbide and diamonds and they are also a very low wear stone.

The last time I ordered the Venev stones I also got some for Kevin Cox a Canadian knife maker and he really loves them and fast they cut threw metal.

You can get them from Gritomatic they may not be the cheapest stones but they work better then a Shapton Glass stone and for that matter the only thing I found better then the Venev stones and that's Poltava's Metallic bonded diamonds and they are only a bit faster cutting.

If you want bench stones I think Gritomatic is selling them in a bench stone format as well.

Few corrections brotha,

The Venev Diamond waterstones are just Diamond and a non porous, hard resin bond type. No SiC but Gritomatic also make there own High grit SiC stones.

The Ukrainian Poltava Metallic Bond Stones Use CBN abrasive not diamond but it works the same for non power tools so no difference.


The Venev stones are pretty dang affordable for what you get especially the benchstones. $60 for a two sided stone that doesn't dish out is awesome. They definitely have there drawbacks but are killer on high Alloy, high Hardeness super steels, especially Maxamet which is the raining champion for folding knife steel available from a production company that cuts long time haha

Thanks for your input. Yes, I am familiar with Gritomatic as I have purchased a Hapstone v7 this last month. I will take a deeper look at their Venev Diamond Stones and I do know they offer it in the Edge Pro format so it would fit my Hapstone.

DeadboxHero Poltava does have a Metallic CBN and Metallic Diamond stone,I have talked with Konstantin the owner of Gritomatic many times and the last time I ordered some Venev diamond stone's he sent me a Metallic diamond 150 Grit for me to review for him on a few different site's I go on.From what I understand the Metallic diamond stones are on his Russian website and he will sell them to anyone in the USA or Canada if he has them in stock why they are not on the Gritomatic site I do not know.

If you look at this link you can see the picture I posted on the canadianknifemakerforum of the Metallic diamond.

Yes they offer them in edge pro format,I suggest looking at the Venev and the Poltava Metallic bonded CBN both will work great but the CBN will last much longer yet and also still cut just as fast the Venev from I have been told,I have a Poltava Metallic bonded diamond stone and it's a beast for cutting really really fast.

The Venev are cheaper but if you are going to sharpen a lot of S110v you may want to consider the Poltava metallic bonded CBN,I know Konstantin told me he out of stock on the Metallic CBN and CBN stropping paste but will be getting more in this week and will be emailing me when it arrives as I'm getting one of each grit of the Metallic CBN to try,if you not in a rush wait until I get my Metallic CBN because I'm going to review them and I'll let you what I think of them.

I've come across references other than Zknives but cannot recall where...
Nobium carbide formation in cutlery steels is not common IIRC.

And what is this new 400/1000 diamond plate?

Not my picture, the 10$ item I got for hogging off steel:

here's a rope cut test for S110v using an advanced heat treatment on the Cultrotech SVARN 2 knife in Russia.
enable CC closed captioning and then click the gear icon, settings. then choose Auto Translate and then choose English. this will soon be translated to english without auto auto translate and will be a better translation. this is currently in the works.

its the highest cut test ive seen for s110v at 8020 cuts. a whole grocery bag full of cuts on rope. full slices from tip to heal. 64.5hrc iirc.
