S30V from Benchmade and Buck don’t hold a candle to an S30V blade from Ingram or May. The Ingram/May will take and hold an edge significantly better and are no more difficult to sharpen when they’ve been used.
Just not true. No flies on anything made by Gene or Charlie, but Buck and Benchmade kinda know what they are doing.
Absolutely true. I've owned 1/2 dozen each at least from Benchmade and Ingram just in S30V. I own Benchmade's in M390 and a couple in 154, they don't hold an edge like Gene or Charlie's.
FWIW, I prefer Sog and Mcusta's VG-10 to Benchmade's anything as well due to edge retention.
