How does the S30V blade steel perform on the Leatherman Charge TTi?

S30V steel is specifically designed for knife blades, offering excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. While the reviewer noted potential inconsistency in the black oxide finish on the S30V blade, its performance in terms of sharpness and durability is considered a significant upgrade.
