Great price for S90V and imo a very attractive design. If you are interested in collecting different premium steels or want something to brag about this is very good. However functionally it is extremely difficult to sharpen and most would be happier with M390 or CPM-20CV which still have excellent edge retention (though not AS excellent) while still being manageable to sharpen. The lack of a sizeable sharpening choil will only add to the difficulty or sharpening this knife. You will either have to pay someone to do it or possess a lot of skill and high end generally expensive equipment. But if that is you, you may really enjoy this.
