It's a pretty damn good steel for a folding knife if corrosion resistance is important to you. It's also pretty tough, and has decent edge retention. It's really weird how people really like steels that do what they need need them to do.

They didn’t need to stick with s30v as the base model. But oh well, I still love the knife, and can’t recommend it enough. Especially if you’re looking at it.

I sharpen knives profesionaly, since the early 90's. No factory edge should be used, no factory edge comes "Scary Sharp" (not even close to a razor's edge). All factory edges must be sharpened (before use) or even better reprofiled too, to remove any "burnt" steel that can cause failures (chips/rolls even with light use) as also, to enhance the performance of the blade, to where it should be at. Edge retention and toughness, as also cutting ability, increases 3 times at least, after a proper reprofiling (to a slight convex edge bevel) and 2 or 3 full sharpening sessions, to remove any burnt steel.
