Yeah, I'm glad that knife makers are stepping up the game. Although, I have to say that most knife purchasers I have met are something akin to most athletic shoe buyers I have met in that those purchasing the products are buying products with excellent utility that isn't being capitalized upon, so in the end the quality is mostly a selling point rather than a necessity. Don't think that I'm complaining though, just saying!

I have never had an S30V blade, but I have one in 154CM, which is a lower grade of steel though similar, I believe. So far, almost no rust and I can't complain about the edge retention, especially as most of the tasks I use it for require only a utility edge rather than a razor edge.
