It's real, but I never understood rewarding flippers for steels that have no real advantage over s30v or s110v.

Never reward the flippers. Let them hoard sprints and then have to sell for a loss. Then they will learn their lesson.

I'm on board with not feeding the flipper trolls, but have to say that the M390-ish steels are better by far at fine edges than S110V and somewhat better in this category than S30V, they are also easier to get that awesome refined, yet aggressive edge on than S30V. On top of that, I've never had edge chipping or corrosion on M390, and have had minor episodes of both with S30V.

The translucent red M390 PM2 is probably my most carried PM2.
