      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.

                    Ended up going with the S90v. So far so good. Looking forward to putting it to good use. And will make sure this one doesn’t get pinched!

                          What's the English version of "that's what she said?" Something like "said actress to the bishop?" Curious if this actually references a joke. Either way, gotta give credit for a more creative rejoinder than our version.

                          I'd love an IH collab knife, but one I'd carry would probably be illegal in a lot of your markets  😢

                              I remember when you found one more after it had sold out. I wanted it so much but talked myself out of it. Sad twat.

                                No argument here 😃

                                I recall it too now, I'm thinking that's a 21oz micarta on the grip?

                                  Don't think I've posted a picture of my Benchmade 940. I've never seen another one with a serrated blade like this as well. It was definitely what sealed the deal for me. Picked it up at a local Benchmade dealer a while back, but not sure how old it is, as I'm sure it had been sitting there for a while.

                                    I love their tanto blades… ^

                                    I got suckered into my suppliers spring sale last week. 50% price drops means you should buy two right?

                                    To be fair, I’ve had my eye on this pair for a long time.

                                    The Fox/Spyderco collab is a tiny gentlemans folder. I’m going to admit to it being the least practical knife I own.

                                    The Fox El Capitan is the exact opposite in every way. Enormous, burly and will get thoroughly abused on a regular basis.

                                    Little and Large…

                                          It's so small @neph93 that I find it a little awkward to deploy, though it feels and performs great once the blade is out. But it is a little titanium framelock with a real carbon scale, a quality little thing.

                                          My EDC is usually the Zero Tolerance 0450 with titanium scales, fitted with a deep carry clip. Both of the ZT flippers have superb detente.
