Wait, what??

Are there actually 2 different Cru-Wear steel? or is that just an assumption due to the use of CPM before Cru-Wear sometimes and sometimes not?

Here's a discussion:

thanks. i’ll be on the lookout for a style i like in one of these steels.

:cool:

M4. The man has chops. :cool:

Frosts and K J Eriksson (now Morakniv) produced some fantastic, inexpensive knives...both laminated and standard stock removal. I've owned a bunch for years and use them for anything from wood carving / whittling to general duty in the field or workshop. i use moras and love them. i always carry on...

Well said, my seagoing friend.

I think CPM® REX® 45(HS), (that's a mouthful), would also be a reasonable alternative in both edge holding and toughness. Not the best, obviously, in the corrosion resistance arena.

I'd go with CPM Cru-wear , instead of Cru-wear :). Only half joking, it bugs me that people have no time to spell it out since they are very different steels when it comes to toughness. Roland. It really bugs me when people don't take the time to actually spell it out correctly ...it's CPM CRU-WEAR...

^^^^

I agree with emanuel...and is what I was going to post as well.

@Naperville. You are obviously an individual with excellent taste. :cool:

She looks great too, but she needs a bigger hat!

Nah, it's the right size. She just likes to think she's gangsta. You should see how she wears her pants. :p

What breed is the fine policeman? It's hard to tell the color, but maybe a Vizsla or Weimaraner? He is a great looking dog. That's my late best friend, Smoky. He was a Weimaraner rescue. Gone five years now but never a day goes by without remembering him. Our new gal, Skyler, also a rescue, is a Bo...

Seriously what? The fake part? I'm sure it is. Seriously that Sal or Kristi would be amused if someone Googled dog burning video and it lead to this forum? Hmm. I think it's stupid, and I'm far from sensitive with regard to stuff like this. I love dogs, have one bowser laying with her muzzle behind...

Humor is outlawed until further notice.

Back to work!

I'll have to try that. I don't even own mineral oil but I do have a plethora of household and firearm/knife lubes. I think I tried 3-in-1, Hoppes #9 and Hoppes Elite Gun Oil on my DLC PM2 and I didn't like the result. Luckily some hot water and Dawn took it off. Now that I have this 4V DLC Para 3 I...

Is there a certain technique (or lubricant/protectant) to protect a blade with DLC? In my experience, when I use oil on a DLC'd blade it just makes the blade look splotchy and gunked up. Is this just unavoidable? It seems to be the case when I wipe it down with a light coat of mineral oil. (Sort of...

my DLC M4 PM2, made in Golden, has shown perhaps a light freckling that wipes away with my usual application of protectant, on a timetable much less aggressive than the advocate enjoyed. This despite living in the same pocket conditions. This makes me happy to read as I live in a fairly rainy and h...

Hey, nobody said there was gonna be math (this early in the morning).

Seriously though, good stuff if a bit heady before I finished my first cup o' coffee.

Interesting to see how the variables effect the outcome.
