The picture shows a hollow ground s30v blade... The description says 154cm... But the new models are full flat ground with s30v... What am I buying?

Mine was a flat ground blade, solid line down to the bevel, no hollow at all

Amazon does a poor job updating things like this. The blurs in newer colors show the Sandvic steel. If it's a color that used to have 440c steel then it still shows 440c. However, kershaw Doesn't make these in 440c anymore. If you order it from Amazon as the seller, you will receive the newer and better Sandvick steel.

The blade on mine is hollow ground and 154CM steel. I'm not sure when they made the switch to S30V steel, but I would guess that it was a couple of years ago since I bought mine during the period in which they were advertising one steel on the website, and listing another on the spec sheet included with the knife.I still love the knife, and carry it about 80% of the time. A SOG Aegis comes out when I don't want the weight of the Manix2 (walking, biking, wearing sweatpants, etc.).

The Delica 4 is available in both grinds so obviously one is incorrect (I think the description is incorrect)... since amazon e-mailed me to respond to this question, I assume the item is the same as the one I ordered some months ago... My knife is the FFG variety. If you want the FFG, order the item with confidence - Amazon has the best customer service on the planet... If the knife is not what you expected, they will make it right and they'll do it fast... If that is not an adequate solution for you, call or e-mail the seller and ask for clarification.- Michael -

T, Got the new saw...everything looks ok but it does have the wrong label on the motor housing as before. Derek at Poulan is going to send me the correct one. It is interesting to note that on the bottom of the ES350 label, the name "HUSQUAVARNA" appears. I guess you just don't know who makes what anymore.... It's been good talking to you, hope all goes well with your new saw. Regards, Steve

Definitely the S30V. Will hold edge longer. In my opinion if this will be your primary carry knife, spring for the S30V.

They have several versions of this wonderful blade, mine was the shorter 6 5/8" x 3/16" the other is 7 1/4" x 1/4", the very 1st run was D2 steel(not many made the market)- I do like the 1095CV and the thinner steel is a lot lighter, I have the "Pot Belly" it's heavy - wonderful shape, high quality blade, the sheath needs a thin strip of deer skin or rubber to keep it from rattling

The ZT-0350TS is built like a tank, and is currently my favorite folder. S30V is a very durable steel and takes a very fine edge. Zero Tolerance tempers there S30V to 57-59 RC. You won't be disappointed with this buy.

Not sure of the edge angle, but the one I received was not a saber grind it is a full flat. S30V is fantastic steel and Spyderco goes does it really well.

Assuming they haven't made any improvement in the blades, just added more power to the motor, the 1.5 amps in extra current is worth about one-fifth of an extra horsepower over the 13.5 amp model. Seems like a bit much when the price is 40% more for just a 10% increase in power. For what its worth, I own an SJ620 from 4 years back, and love it. Not sure if I would have gone for a more powerful model if it had been available at that time.

The photo for this product seems to be an older version. The new one that I received does have the newer, curved handle. Search for Microplane Professional on Amazon and you'll see what the new handle should look like.

This is a picture off of Google that is definitely the same blade as the one I got:http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51t076VDiAL.jpg

I just returned from out of town and just now looked at the blade. Yes, it really is the 8700 model . . . it says so on the blade. I love it.

The blade is factory ground but not sharp. I bought this from AZ because I was in a pinch and couldn't get a blade fast enough from Honda Dist.All manufactures ship blades that way to prevent customer injuries when opening and installing.I did sharpen the blade to a nice edge before I installed it (INTP for ya) but it's not necessary because after 10 minuets of mowing grass/leaves/twigs the blade will loose that sharp of an edge. The edge on the blade straight from the box will do the job fine, you'll never know the difference. Honda Certified Power Equipment and Engine Technician with over 20 yrs of experience.(Dave J.

When I bought mine earlier last year, the knife sent to me was S30V. If anything, it's an upgrade from what is mentioned here.

The one I returned was apparently the first version and did not resemble the model on their website. The area you're asking about was less than an inch on the nessmuk I handled. The handle on the returned knife narrowed more significantly and was smooth as glass, which was a criticism. This was not my favorite Condor knife.
