Gerber Freeman S30V folding knife

I bought this Gerber Freeman folder about 8 years ago from Cabelas. I believe that it is a Cabelas exclusive model. This is the CPM S30V version.
I have used this knife for most daily chores for many years. It has barely a scratch on it. The boron-carbide coating has held up very well. I have sharpened it about 4 or 5 times since I bought it. It holds an edge very well. No flaking of the edge has occured.
The handles are made from cocobolo and have held up very well. They are still tight to the frame.
There is no slop between the frame and the blade. It is still nice and smooth.
I would recommend this knife to anyone who is looking for a seriously durable knife that has exellent edge retention.
