S30V Steel opinions

S30V has been good to me. I bought a Spyderco Native for $40 at Wal-Mart (and they're still very much available for that price) and it was scary sharp out of the box. I use it a lot, it carries a great edge and when I need to re-sharpen it it takes to the new edge very well. VG-10 may very well be better than S30V but I really like S30V personally.

Same here, served me just fine with my Native, but the VG-10 is made in China and I couldn't bring myself to buy it unless it was the s30v made here in the USA.
 
S30V has become my favorite blade metal. I have Benchmades, Bucks, Kershaws, and even a Gerber Freeman made of it. I finally chipped one - that original Spydie Native - near the tip - deburring a rough hole in steel - and I had a 'real' deburring tool just a few feet away. Almost erased by the Sharpmaker.

If the OP is still around, the Buck 347 Vantage Pro - in S30V - is a great EDC - and a bargain even at $95 MSRP.
