99% of end users wouldn't know the difference between S30V and Cruwear if the blade wasn't marked (except noted above about rust issues ) on a folding knife. I usually just ignore these type of posts Rick...especially when they start talking about what's best for the company. :rolleyes:

Anyone who has used other steels can tell immediately by the way it cuts and how swiftly it looses a truly sharp edge in favor of a Blah working edge.
S30V IS NOT A GOOD STEEL!
It is a great steel, there are however better steels out their an Cruwear is one of them.

In this video I carve wood, baton wood, chop wood, cut up different foods, and slice a pop can in half. My S30V blade, despite being reprofiled to a thinner, weaker angle, still cleanly shaved and sliced paper afterward.
I'm not sure how performance like that indicates I own a bad knife steel.
Nice video BTW. Had that Knife been in Cruwear after seeing it the first time I would have bought one just from this video alone, love the design, bored with the steel
