If nothing else, I strongly recommend the soon-to-come Para2 in CTS-20CP and G10. I believe that particular steel is comparable to S90V but with a few differences(less carbon, less chromium, more vanadium/molybdenum, added silicon and manganese). Hard to say for sure, but offhand I'm thinking almost same wear resistance, maybe a touch less corrosion resistance, and more toughness.
Done with Carpenter steel (whenever possible) - Crucible seems to be better and no "new kid on the block" price tag. CPM S30V is still a very high quality steel IMHO.
