I understand that there is a consensus here that S30V is a far superior steal to 440A. However, I dont know why this is. I am guessing that it is because S30V holds its edge better but if I am understanding things correctly, that means that it is that much harder to sharpen. Is that right? Are there other reasons why S30V is better than 440A (oh yeah, this question concerns a smallish folder, not a fixed blade chopper or anything like that).
thanks
