I handled CRK knives on knife shows. It didn't click for me.
I carried S35N Native5 for a while and was absolutely satisfied with edge retention and sharpening. If I like the knife, S35N would never stop me from buying it. I cannot say that I prefer S53N to S30V or opposite.
I can recall bad review only from CrimsonTideShooter. From my professional point of view the review was purely subjective and based only on emotions instead of data. So from engineering point of view can be disregarded.kbuzbee wrote:IIRC S35VN got some bad reviews at one point.

How many days left until you put Forum Native is you hand? :) I am blown away with this knife. :) Cannot wait to hear from you.
