The knife itself is amazing; it's light, comfortable, quick to open and close. The only downside is the difficulty in sharpening the thing. Being a somewhat experienced knife sharpener who can regularly take edges to hair whittling / popping, wet paper-towel push-cutting performance. The S110V steel on this blade is ridiculously tough stuff, and while I can get the blade "sharp", I've never been able to bring the edge up to my own (absurd?) standards. Consequently, I much prefer my CTS-XHP and M390 blades for their toughness and corrosion resistance, without the frustration and stone wear of working with S110V. Furthermore, if I WERE ever able to achieve a hair-whittling edge with this knife, the work involved with doing so would mean I'd probably never use the knife as an EDC.
TL;DR: Excellent knife for most people, just don't expect to ever get the blade super sharp.

neuroplexusAre you using natural stone or diamond for sharpening? I can get my S110V para 2 to hair-popping sharp on my Lansky with the fine diamond hone, then the 600 stone, and finally the yellow ceramic. It won't cleave the air molecules as I swing it (I've tried, but I don't detect any glow along the edge at sub-sonic speeds), but it meets my criteria for "scary sharp".

neuroplexusYou definitely can. I use KME and it shaves no problem. Push’s through paper as well.

neuroplexusDiamonds are your friends with s110v and several other super steels think maxamet. All you have to do is threaten the steel with diamonds and it sheds its burr and rolls over sharp. Gritomatic sells great diamond stones in one x six size that do the job well. Lesser steels sharpen up just knowing you have the stones.
