One will see more variation knife-to-knife than steel-to-steel in general use gutting and skinning critters. That said, S30V is "more" stain resistant, has "higher" wear resistance, "better" toughness and can take a more acute edge profile...whether "more", "higher" or "better" will ever be realized by a user in actual practice when the D2 is already so darn good is the knife knut aspect of this hobby. That's the part many of us enjoy... You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

It has the best handle-to-blade ratio for large hands of any svelte 3" blade I've handled, and just feels feathery light. The friend I gave this one to is 6-4 with large hands and always wanted a more compact knife, but never found one that felt right. You couldn't pry this one from him with the jaws of life...

Must have been 2003-4 time frame. It's almost 'dainty' despite the blade length. "Dear Lord, save me from Your followers"

That's a good looking blade. Think I'll wait to receive and use my 2 a bit before I order another set. Gotta figure what works for me. Very addictive hobby! Appreciate the pics.
