I've had no such issue with 20CV, and Carpenter's version CTS-204P has been awesome for me. My son has a Benchmade in M390 that is an unmitigated disaster, but I fully believe BM toasted that blade.I own the k390 endela, a really well done knife.
I really like the red black zone, I think it's a attractive combination.
However I am not a fan of 20cv or m390.
I found its to chippy for my liking.
But maybe it will perform well for you.
It does take a nice edge.
I agree. I opened it and it is pretty hideous...UGLY.......
I like the Endela....
Just the right size.
K390 and now waiting for delivery of 20CV DLT
