I had mine for about a week before I swapped the blade to 204p, with the factory edge s90v I was cutting a somewhat decent amount of cardboard and some duck tape. I had a metal flashlight on the counter and when I went to pick up the knife, I dropped it blade first on the flashlight and it rolled off. Checked the edge immediately, feeling like an idiot, but to my surprise there was only slight rolling that was easily stropped out. I realized I needed a slightly tougher steel to make up for my clumsiness, SO I GOT TWO! One to swap with 204p for edc and one s90v for big cardboard/plastic jobs where edge retention is wanted. The picture with the chips to me seems pretty extreme so maybe bad HT? Is that a factory edge? What’s the story behind it? Or was mine just really soft s90v. Yes s90v Is more fragile than 204p but those chips are ..WOW.. I’d contact spyderco if you were just doing normal cutting and not twisting and prying. That is if it’s a decent edge angle and all that Jazz.
