They've been "out of" for a while now. The Comp. Lock.

Any idea when the Para 2 Cruwear will be out?

I suppose it would help a little, but Not much.
All Of my comp locks are very easy use.

My M4 I did force patina with unsatisfactory results, so Maxamet and CruWear, just let it be.

About "parts" wearing out. I have to park my Native 5's for a good part of the year, because of thumb joint pain. Had surgery but still a problem.

I hope it would be more than just a few made.

They should make PM2 left hand more available, this is such a loved knife it's the right thing to do.

I see now the Urban is FRN and blade steel is N690, made in Italy. I discovered a old foliage green G10 Native I've had for a while.....I guess ;) Hurricane Laura destroyed my shop and the Urban was one of the few of my knives I saved. Since I've cleaned it up, I thought it would be nice to use it a...

The lock lug IS a spring.
The SS liner is cut, bent, and heat treated, therefore a spring. FYI you can also use titanium as a liner and lock lug spring, only you don't have to heat treat titanium.

Not even a week. The Watu is not the most beautiful and shapely knife, but I love "the package". It is quite comfortable when using it. I've cut 1x2 pine stick and no pain happened. The 20CV is sharpened so very well. The thin handle is also a plus. ;) Don't tell anyone but I've lessened t...

That's interesting JSumm. One too strong, one too soft.

Got my Watu yesterday and it's great, feels great in hand, the blade slices like a Calypso Jr. I have a question for you who have one. Is the spring tension a bit stronger than your other compression locks ? I have a little problem opening the blade (just a little too much detent). I have a lot of p...

My para 3 is the most carried knife I have. The lightweight with M390 blade swapped in, is my fav.
Whittle wood, cut sisal twine, open plastic containers, cut cardboard, slice apples which I do every day.

Tab problem! There are more than one way to release a compression lock. Use thumb to push tab in, shake blade down to stop on your index finger, turn knife and close blade with thumb. I like this method better because you can keep more fingers on the handle ie more control. I used this method "...

Thank you.
I had a Salsa. Should have remembered that.
Love the compression lock, my favorite.

Which was the first compression lock?

Ok, if I want other scales than the CF, I will have to make my own. The prices are way out there ,on the site.
I have a little scale material, but I have no shop anymore.

I have one on way.
Does anyone make scales of G10, Micarta? Not interested in wood.

I think it was a couple years ago I brought this up. The powers that be, said "working on it".

I like the GB2 , just want a smaller one.

Compression lock Native 5, yes.
My N5's are great, but I've had surgery on my thumb and pressing the lock bar hurts my thumb.
A compression lock Native 5 would be greatly appreciated.
