Love mine. I carry it more than any other knife I have. Handles are great.

Can't help you with teh S30V comparison though. I never see a huge difference between the 2.

I have a hybrid with a standard 525 satin blade and the gray handles and love the way it looks. And yeah it's hard to tell the diff between 154 and S30V most times.

I think the biggest difference when comparing two steels is which one is going to be a bigger pain to resharpen.

your s30v "should" have a thinner edge than your ats-43/154cm ths taking advantage of s30vs ability to take a thinner edge without rolling etc.

I got my one of a kind 525SBK-701 from Steve Harvey and it is a good size for EDC. The S30V holds a better edge than the 154CM.

I've got like Joe_K...-701 handle with a plain-plain 154CM blade. I like the 701 handle a lot more than the standard 525 handle. It's up there with my 140HS and 615...top three Benchmades. Great knife.

Personally, I was happy to trade away a serrated S30V blade for a plain edge 154CM blade.
