I've been using my PM2 in S110V for basic cutting; opening mail, packages etc... I just noticed that the tip had a rolled over edge, which was easily remedied on a diamond sharpener. But I even saw some minor chipping.
I haven't used this hard yet, and all the slicing has been free of hitting metal (staples, etc...). Is this a characteristic of S110V? I've never seen the rolled over edge on any of my S30V blades. It bums me out a little bit because I'd read such great things about S110V, particularly on the PM2.
S110V rolling?
Re: S110V rolling?
I also had some rolling on about a third of the factory edge, I cleaned up what I suspect was a burr on the brown stones and it's been fine since. I have got a few little catches in the edge (micro chips?) ie when I run on my fingernail down the edge and when tested on paper it catches, they don't bother me in normal use and can be stropped out fairly easily.

Re: S110V rolling?
Rebevel to get to the good steel under. Most factory edges aren't optimal. Touching up really doesn't remove enough of the bad steel.
Re: S110V rolling?
As said above many factory edges have burrs and/or overheated steel on the very edge. A couple thorough sharpenings usually help to get to good steel.
