IMO S35VN is a slight (evolutionary) improvement and eventually it will probably supplant S30V as manufacturer stocks of S30V run out. Check with Benchmade to see when they expect to start transitioning.
Chris Reeve has already transitioned the Sebenza to S35VN, but he's still using S30V for the Umnumzaan until his supply of those blades runs out. FWIW $.02
