Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Agreed! That looks stunning. But other than the design, what about the quality of the blade used? Without much knowledge, I purchased the Mercator knife and after few months of using it, I can already say that the sharpness of the blade has considerably worn down. How does this compare with the Osborne knives?
-
Is there a difference in the blade quality with the S90V and the S30V?

Made a little lanyard with some Paracord and my GA big rondel

Reinforcement arrives! Because of the temptation from @Giles flashing his 940-1. Please don't do this again!
Could not afford the 940-1, but got hold of a 940 that was running on an offer and could not hold out. The blade is not so sharp as I would have expected, but the handling and the grip is out of the world. The Mercator knife gave me many a times sore hands, but this 940 is so damn comfortable.

Love that lil rondel, @LewisStonehouse
I'm adding a lil shazam to my keyring for a little extra pizazz -
love my standard 940 Osborne. Only thing that would make it more perfect would be if it came standard with the deep carry clip.

@chrisjohnnick call BM and tell them you have one of the knives with whatever clip you want. They’ll send you one for free. The trick is to tell them you have a knife that already has one. They won’t send you something different than what you have. They don’t ask for proof that you have it though. That’s what I did for it’s the 940-1.

I bought mine new from a local shop a while back and eventually bought the deep clip from Benchmade. it was only 10 bucks. I've paid more for less. Good to know for the future, though!

@henry_david Im all about the pizazz dude

Some better pictures!

Both are great quality. S30 is a bit more practical since it’s easier to sharpen and the S90 is considered a bit higher quality due to its better edge retention and hardness.
I’ve read the s90 could chip, given its hardness. I’m currently debating whether to go with the standard 940 or the carbon fibre upgrade with the s90. Sharpening wouldn’t be an issue, but obviously wouldn’t want to chip the premier s90.
