Was there any particular reason S30V was chosen for the RT over SR-101 or something else? Just curious as I anxiously wait for mine to show.:D
 
My guess would be that they chose the best steel for the knife's intended application. Those guys in the Ohio swamp, they gots smarts like that.

I would guess for the corrosion resistance in areas that you cannot clean in a folder, like pivots, etc. Folders aren't meant to be tough so S30V is adequate for the job.
