I have carried this Manix2 for the last 3 months. This is my first experience with CPM S30V. It is very easy to touch up on an Arkansas stone, hard or soft. I had been using a soft stone, but switched to a small hard stone and with it I can easily bring the blade back to shaving sharp. Not much more I can ask for in the steel. A few weeks ago I noticed one of the small torx screws missing. I emailed Spyderco and within a few days there was a small envelope containing 4 screws and a tiny tube of loc-tite. I took all the remaining screws out and re-loc-tited them. Spyderco did a great job solving my problem. All is well. This last month I bought a Tasman Salt and I have been using that one as well at work. It cuts quick and easy with a strong pull against all sorts of plant material. It works exceptionally well on some of the more fibrous types of palm.
