Whats the best s90v folders in your opinion?

[Eliteone2383]

Ive got a bit of an obsession with s90v. Working with it on boats and the farm it just performs flawlessly. Edge retention and toughness is a must for cold wet crab lines that need cut off pots and replaced. So far Ive got a BM 940, Para3 and military 2 in s90v. What should I be looking at to add to the stable?

The Spyderco Siren in S90v is well worth a look. The designer is a kayak fisherman and designed it to be safe for use on rough waters.

My S90V is a QSP and it's solid .. seems to hold the edge forever .. would never chop with it though.

Manly folders in S90V (the three models at the bottom).
The price/performance ratio is really good.

I clicked this thread in order to recommend the Manly Peak, but you beat me to it! One of the best work knives I've ever used.

Custom Knife Factory does some of the nicest S90V production knives out there. The TS139 in the middle is the best thing Twosun has done IMO, a big step up from the rest of their lineup.

Yeah but if I drop a CKF knife into the Chesapeake bay I think id have a heart attack lol

Machinewise - they test each blade and put that on the COA card, so you know you're getting something that is treated correctly/well. I have both the Senora (but in 20cv) and the Mojave and both are excellent folding knives.

One of my favorites. I really like s90v with a little bit of a toothy edge. I tried a polished edge, but prefer to stop at about 600 grit.

Fair enough, I missed that lol. I'd probably use my Para 3 Lightweight in that case, since it has less metal to rust in it. Also, this might be a little out of left field, but have you tried fully serrated knives? You won't find them in S90V, but they might function longer for cutting lines since 1. The wear is distributed over more edge length crammed into the same blade length and 2. They concentrate cutting pressure into little points, ripping material effectively even when they dull a little.
