Came in the mail this a.m. Am very pleased with this knife. Blade is centered perfectly it seems, and I really like the peel ply c.f. Not to mention the s90v blade itself :D
Date of birth looks to be the same of my Domino KM (11-13)

Great pick up...Mine has really grown on me. Not the fastest flipper I own, but smooth with a rock solid lock up. One thing that helped was taking out the pivot torx screws one at a time and dropping some Slip 2000 EWL down in before adjusting the blade back to center. People who think they know a bit about knives are just kinda blown away when they get to handle this and learn a bit about the S90V steel capabilities. And of course a S110V discussion just renders them stupified.
Cheers...

Very cool. Yeah, the guy that does my sharpening - Jason Bosman (Mr. Edgy) said there would be a difference between s30v and s90v. Really looking forward to using it. And......just picked up a brand new Manix s110v!

I just scored one and it's on the way. I have an all black XL and this CF S90V will complement it very well.

Excellent. I really believe you'll be very happy with it.
The Ply Peel Carbon Fiber is really nice IMO.
Feels a little grippier than G10. But, I still really like Spyderco G10. I like it as much as Ply Peel CF actually.
Nuthin short about Spyderco G10 imo. Congratz!

I also ***really*** like this carbon fiber. I tell people to just just barely run their finger over it and it feels so smooth, then to press down some and try to move it in any direction and feel the traction and grip. So nice.
