Ich habe seit einigen Jahren ein Spyderco Para Military 2 S110V in regem Gebrauch. Gerade in letzter Zeit habe ich es über einen Monat täglich für Holzarbeit benutzt. Die Klinge ist optisch makro- wie mikroskopisch nach wie vor in exzellentem Zustand. Und es ist kein Problem, sie mit einfachen Mitteln rasurscharf zu halten.
Obwohl ich auf extreme Standzeit keinen gesteigerten Wert lege, habe ich mich mit dem Stahl nach längerer sehr guter Erfahrung (kein Chipping) angefreundet.
Profunde Kenner von S110V sind Jim Ankerson und Phil Wilson (der auch ein großer Freund von S125V ist). Dazu die folgenden beiden statements:
Jim Ankerson 2014
„CPM S110V, I have a lot of experience with that steel and I use it everyday in kitchen in a custom fixed blade. It will take a very fine edge as it is pretty fine grained and clean, but with the wear resistance it will take most people more time to sharpen than steels like S30V. I find ceramic works excellent touching up S110V back to a screaming sharp edge in seconds, I keep my knives I use in the kitchen very sharp, usually sharp enough to drop through (Cut) a paper towel length wise without tearing, and that's not a polished edge either. Try it if you don't think that's sharp...... And that's off a Spyderco Professional Medium File (Ceramic), same as the Medium Sharpmaker rod for the most part.“

„I did get a sample piece of CPM S110V to try out. Heat treat is about the same as CPM 10V, CPM S90V and CPM 125V. I got an as finished hardness of 63/64 with the first attempt. The test blade is a 4.5 inch drop point made in the Bow River design. Initial cutting tests show that this one is in the same category as CPM 125V and CPM 10V. This is very encouraging since there was no evidence of edge chipping with light to medium slicing work on rope and whittling pine. ……..
I have done extensive testing comparing this steel to CPM 10V and find that at similar hardness they are in the same category. It has more than replaced CPM S125 since it is easier to work with and has comparable performance.
