7k7k99,

I've had my RSK forseveral months, and I just love it. It's been my EDC since I got it. I don't think you'll find a better knife for the price which contains both the S30V steel and the axis lock. I'm patiently awaiting the release of the Benchmade-Ritter fixed blade. HTH.

I have had several S30V knives from 3 different manufacturers so far (3 knives from Benchmade, 1 knife from Al Mar and 2 knives from Chris Reeve) and I am very pleased with the S30V steel. Pleased enough that I have a large regular Sebenza (this will be #3) in route to my house as I type this. Believe me I am not a wealthy man and would not spend $420 on a knife with steel that I did not have confidence in! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Of course I also like the carbon steel on my $9 Mora, the laminated steel on a couple $8 Moras I used to have and the A2 on the CRK fixed blades that I have owned. However those aren't stainless (well the laminated Mora is debatable). I have a Spyderco Salt with H-1. It's an interesting steel. I don't think it will ever chip. I know this because it seems to fold very easily. If they don't chip then they fold and if they dont chip or fold then they rust. Okay not litterally and not in all cases, but the point it that it's all a compromise. You give up one asset to gain another.
