This Spyderco Military 2 CPM-15V production sample was shown at the 2024 Spyderco Amsterdam Meet. See my previous post in this thread formore information on this upcoming new Spyderco folding knife. (I shot this in portrait mode, so it's optimized for phones.)

The Satin R.I.L. Tenacious... It's planned to be D2 and not CPM-D2, correct?

p.s. It says 8Cr13MoV in the specs below the pics of that one.

I'm not sure about D2 vs CPM-D2, I recall Eric telling me 'D2'. Thanks for the keen eye, I'll correct the specs!

The Spyderco Charisma was a new design that seemed to want to fly out of my lightbox. This was an impressively thin and lightweight folder. The cutting edge however, is almost as long as the edge found on a Paramilitary 2. The Charisma is thin and light enough to easily carry in a shirt pocket. I di...

This unnamed Tenacious R.I.L. featured a satin finished D2 blade and an absolutely stunning handle design. The handle is titanium and has been beautifully anodized. The end result seems like Thor’s hammer crashed into this Tenacious and somehow it survived. An absolutely stunning looking folder. The...

This year’s meet did not just showcase new steels on existing designs, there were also a few nice surprises in handles and handle materials. This R.I.L Tenacious is a good example. The titanium handle was beautifully anodized. The handle featured a Reeve-style Integral Lock (hence the R.I.L.) that h...

The steel junkies among us get an extra treat in the form of CPM-REX121, mated to a lightweight Sage 5 chassis. This knife will have a pivot bushing system. Like the previous REX45 sprint run knives, the Sage 5 in CPM-REX121 will be offered with an orange handle. https://spydercollector.files.wordpr...

More to come tomorrow, but nothing in 15V

Well done Mr. Blonde! The three upcoming 15V folders you posted about (Military2/G-10, Manix2/FRCP, MicroJimbo/G-10) will all be Regular Production or Sprint Runs? I asked again at the IWA Show and I got back that the 15V knives were planned as regular production. I'm sure the next Reveal will sett...

Any idea why the asterisk on 15V, anyone. Thanks, Wouter, for putting Spring in motion again. Just a guess but those blades probably aren’t actually 15V. Since they’re still prototypes, they probably used a steel like S30V and just marked them with “15V*” to denote the steel that is intended for pr...

The last of the CPM-15V Spyderco Production Samples I can share is the wonderful Lil’ Native. Personally, prefer the lockback version, but I realize market majority prefers the compression lock version. It’s all good, and I can still switch the clip on this lil’ big knife for left-handed carry 😉. ht...

If you don’t like the Para 3 lightweight in CPM-15V, and you prefer a little more heft and that peel-ply handle texture, then perhaps this version in G-10 is for you. https://spydercollector.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/spyderco_amsterdammeet2024_spydercollector_para3-15v_1.jpg https://spydercollecto...

The 15V trend continues with the Para 3 Lightweight! I love the Para 3 design, and I’m sure I’ll have extra room in my collection to add this one. https://spydercollector.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/spyderco_amsterdammeet2024_spydercollector_para3-ltw-15v_1.jpg https://spydercollector.files.wordpres...

I asked again during the IWA Show, and that is what I heard there. Still, when the next Reveal drops, we'll know for sure .

You actually meant Shawn Houston where you typed Sean Michaels.

oops, d'oh! Thank you, I corrected it!

This was my last post for today, more to come tomorrow....

The MicroJimbo was unveiled last year and I think they recently started shipping. This is likely the second variation of the MicroJimbo (after the all-black version), in CPM-15V and brown G10. It too, if I understood correctly, will be made in regular production. https://spydercollector.files.wordpr...

The Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight will also be made with a CPM-15V blade and signature brown handle. It will be announced officially in the upcoming Reveal number 15. Reveal 15  15V… If only this was the 15th edition of the Spyderco Amsterdam meet. I’m glad it’s not though 😉 Fun fact, to me at least...

Last year, Spyderco introduced many of us to CPM-15V for the first time. Spyderco launched limited runs of the Paramilitary 2 and Shaman in 2023, working with Shawn Houston -a.k.a. Big Brown Bear- who shared his heat treat protocol to bring out the best of this steel. Apparently, this first foray in...
