Give it some time to break in. You might want to soak the pivot with WD40 several times and blow it out with compressed air. Then re-lube it with your favorite oil.
The 630 is a hard use knife and should last forever.
The key with S30V steel is to sharpen it often with a leather strop and green polish or very fine ceramic rod. It holds it's edge VERY well, just often maintain that hair popping edge  |

It was part of a knife/gun project with Alaska Gun and Pistolsmith, Ned Christiansen. I'll try to find a pic of the knife and gun together. My first attempt at wood checkering  The checkered cocobolo matches the grips on the gun.

But...........I finish all my edges, by hand with a strop.
You can make them or buy them but you need a good one to put the final edge on your knives.
A good strop is a beautiful thing.  Mine looks something like this but longer. The one I use has the rough side of the leather up. I never use a smooth one as pictured here. Before each use, I rough up the leather with a scrap piece of steel and apply fresh green polish. I've used the same one for years. 
Here is some strop info: http://www.inthewoodshop.org/methods/wwc03x.shtml http://www.pinewoodforge.com/sharpening.html

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about.... |
Actually I need one of those so I can gut the deliquents who broke into my 71 year old mother's house and trashed it (stole some stuff too) while she was in New Jersey visiting my niece. Happened Sunday night. 
Nice knife!

First impressions:
Wow - it's B I G!
And really pretty.
And I'm surprised at how comfortable in the hand it is, I didn't expect that.

Me likey | What I like about them is for a big knife, they carry VERY easily in the pocket. You hardly know it's there. I'm going to order myself an all black one. I miss the one I had!!

Or you can just find some rough leather, buy the compound only and make one yourself for cheaper.
