The S30V Sebenza is superior to the other 2 blade steels. It is the ultimate in quality. Go for the S30V...ATS-34 has disappointing corrosion resistance. For a regular Sebenza from an online seller, I would not do more than $285 shipped. Often, local dealers are cheaper with CRK.

Take an abrasive toothpaste to it, like Colgate Total. That coating is exceptionally tough and it at least as tough as the old Benchmade coating.

I chop with a Manix CE...you cannot beat it and it has toughness that other brands cannot rival.

Joe; ZDP undoubtedly takes and holds the best edge of any production steel...it even beats M2 hands down. I find it hard to sharpen personally, but I will not call it difficult to sharpen because like anything, if you do something enough, you get good at it and it becomes easier. I am more used to S...

Interesting. Why do you prefer S30V to M2, D2, and ZDP-189 ? Thanks. While it loses hands down in edge retention to all except D2 (mine you depending on the hardening D2 can be better or worse), S30V has a higher impact resistance than M2 and ZDP (I believe D2 but I am not going to say that as I am...

Zac, have you tried S90V yet? S30V is more in the class with BG42, 20-CV, CPM 154cm, and a few more. S90V is the next class up. S90V is in the class with ZDP189, Cowry X & Y, and some kind of obscure ones which I haven't yet tried. These are only the stainless steels which are outdone by carbon...

Agreed. I agree it is all real and it shows the lack of common sense people have. Sometimes I have to ask if we are evolving for the dumberer.

The Mini Manix sports probably the best heavy usage utility folder for the money...but it will never be a Sebenza. Only a Sebenza will ever be a Sebenza as it is in a class of its own. The lock strength on the two are comparable (likely even favors the Manix)...but with heavy usage, blade play devel...
