S30V disadvantages?

[davmgt]

I wouldnt be the first! It is sort of like the urge one gets to see a car wreck. I must admit that some of these "car crashes" have been informative, but I am losing my taste for them as they always wind up the same. Also, I was speaking my opinion, no need to get worked up about it.

I seem to recall that D2 is at it's best only when hammer forged. Anyone else hear that?

For the record, I haven't had any negative issues with any of my Kershaw or ZT S30V blades with regard to chipping unexpectedly or diffficult sharpening. To be fair however, I have never allowed my edge to be lost on any of those knives yet either. I steel or strop them after every use. Yes, I'm a dork, I have steels and strops strategically placed everywhere I go. My bail out bag, my truck, my office and of course at home . . . All of them will shave hair on any given day unless I just finished a tough job with the knife.

Now we can see the evolution of this thread. I'm sure there has been some progress in the handling of this steal since it first premiered.

Reeek, you've just added another rumour to this thread ! If you're not happy with D2 then try CPM D2.
