I have m390 on this bad boy and I can assure you that this is an amazing steel! Comparing it to s30v I noticed edge retention is better and sharpening is about the same.

M390 is phenomenal, I have it in a Contego KW exlusive. Edge retention is better than any other steel I have, it lasts at least 50% longer in normal use compared to ZT's Elmax, which is my runner-up for edge retention. It takes an insanely sharp edge pretty easily as well (much easier than my D2 or Elmax), and I've never heard of anyone having it rust.

It's easily my favorite steel for folders these days. Shame tends to cost so much or I'd have a lot more of it.

It is a great steel with a great edge retention.

M390 steel is incredible. It gets very sharp, and stays that way for so long that it is almost unbelievable.

I don't know what it is comparable to, but I do know that it is better than anything else I've used.

M390 is incomparable.
