      Is there a difference in the blade quality with the S90V and the S30V?

        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.

              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 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!

                              There might be 3rd party deep carry clips for this knife. I've bought some for Spydercos.

                                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.

                                  I’d look at some long term reviews.  I haven’t seen anyone complaining of chipping. I wouldn’t hesitate. It’s a great choice either way.

                                    Those who use your knives regularly, how do you keep them sharp? There are quite a few tools available to sharpen them, but just wanted to know if you do it by yourself or send it to a shop to get them back in shape? Could you share the tools that you people use?

                                          If it's a chef's knife, you mostly need to carefully use a ceramic iron before each use.

                                            This is my daily carry. Its a little bigger than normal but not obnoxious. I have big hands so it feels really good in when in use.
