No and no. If I'm going to pay "premium" prices, I want premium materials.
There is no "best" steel. I just happen to have had very bad luck with S30V. I've paid the price, literally and figuratively. Let's see...
Arrgh, my memory is so bad now from the stroke I can't remember all of them. I've bought and sold so many knives since I joined in 2013. It's not just Spyderco's.
S35VN is a vast improvement imo. I have three knives with it. CTS-XHP has been my favorite thus far. My Manix 2 in xhp is like a Timex.
