I have a couple kitchen knives in s30v and dread when they loose their edges.

I'm sure the edge retention is great, but what are they like to hone I had a chance to get one when I ordered my RW custom, but I said "no thank you". I'd rather have something easier to keep sharp. That's just me...

Thanked: 27My S30V knives were pretty easy to hone, from reprofiling to mirror polished edge. I don't think it would be too bad. I've done S90V and ZDP-189, those are worse than S30V, but wasn't too bad either. Then again I use fast-cutting diamond hones with a couple Shaptons here and there.
The design I have in mind requires 10x more steel removal when honing than a full hollow grind, but I think it's manageable as the grind would also allow me to use more pressure.

Here are my two. The 7/8 with the cocobolo scales came shave ready from John Crowley at the Shaving Shop and the 5/8 with the abalone celluloid from a forum member in the classifieds. I did hone that one and it was a tough customer. I really like the feel of it and the way Robert laid out the jimps. Both are excellent shavers.
