The medium grey hones on the Sharpmaker sharpen S30V just fine. Just make sure you are actually hitting the edge with the hone. You have to match the factory angle. Use a Sharpie marker on a small area on both sides of the blade to see if the angles on the knife edge and Sharpmaker are matching up. If they are you should have no trouble sharpening your S30V.
