Re: Mt26 hrc?
I have one myself, and I love it. I lowered the angle and it still has a very stable edge. I would like to do some comparison between this and my k2 in10v. I am curious as to what the hrc range is as well. There is an old thread here where the mules were tracked and updated with hrc values and range...

Re: KnifeCenter Exclusive CPM-Cruwear Paramilitary 2
Interesting statement in this video. Slicey Dicey, a YouTube knife reviewer, just recently posted a video that includes the Knifecenter PM2 Cruwear exclusive. According to the website it says a run of 1200. However I noticed over the past weekend it stated they would receive more in 5ish days...Don'...

Re: How to oil non-stainless steel?
The froglube works great. Key is to make sure all other oils have been removed with alcohol etc., then apply with heat. Hairdryer works fine. I live in MS and carry Maxamet, m4 etc. as an edc with no patina formation. I keep a designated rag in a zip lock bag for application and use it to wipe the b...

Re: So Is Maxamet Dead Now?
Oh noes, we only have Cru wear, s110v, m4, CTS 204p, etc. What are we gonna do?! Pelagic is correct. Maxamet is unique in it's composition and it is in a different class of performance in regards to edge retention. As he said, it may not be needed for knives but if we are going to look at it that w...

Re: So Is Maxamet Dead Now?
I did email Spyderco back in January, and I did receive a response. Essentially they said they left the PM2 and Para 3 out of the 2018 catalog due to the problems in the manufacturing process. They said they didn't think it was fair to have them the catalog and not know for sure when they would get ...

Re: KnifeCenter Exclusive CPM-Cruwear Paramilitary 2
I wanted to clarify my previous post. The Cruwear took the fall like a champ. It didn't chip. It was a direct hit into a hardwood floor, and it was a slight bend. Very slight. But I use my tip on my knives, so I needed to fix it. And it is fixed now. You wouldn't know anything had ever happened to i...

Re: KnifeCenter Exclusive CPM-Cruwear Paramilitary 2
These scales feel nice, but they are definitely not ideal if you are going to carry and use it. I made it 2 days before dropping it. Well, off to repair a tip then rough the scales up a bit...

Re: KnifeCenter Exclusive CPM-Cruwear Paramilitary 2
I really like this one. The smooth g10 feels really nice. This one is a perfect specimen on the centering, grind, etc. As much as I like the smooth g10, the practical side of me is wanting to give it some very slight texture since I have almost dropped it a few times.

Re: Any upcoming Paramilitary 2-M390 runs??
I really hope we see another m390 run in the PM2. Hopefully one day in peel ply carbon fiber. But hey, I would buy a m390 PM2 in hot pink if that was the only color offered! :)

Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Native 5 Jade G10 CPM-M4
I wasn't very thrilled when I found out that the Native 5 was going linerless and back to s30v. However, after seeing this model, I think the linerless feature is actually nice on the natural g10. I am definitely going to get one of these.

Re: KnifeCenter Exclusive CPM-Cruwear Paramilitary 2
I am really looking forward to trying this out tomorrow. CPM Cru-Wear was my " gateway steel " in my fixed blades. I was so impressed with its performance I started searching for more steel fixes, and I came across Spyderco. I purchased some Maxamet, 10v, m390, m4, s90v, s110v and so on. S...

Re: Elmax in Golden made knives
I think for folders you get a bit more bang for your buck with m390 vs elmax. Given the similar properties of the two steels. That is only my opinion since I am mostly in it for the steel.

Re: KnifeCenter Exclusive CPM-Cruwear Paramilitary 2
I saw a few pics of this from one of the other collector club members. He confirmed that it is black Smooth G10. I am guessing we should see these show up within a week or so.

Re: NRA Convention - No Spyderco booth. Why not?
(Posted on Bladeforums). We tried to get in this year but the show was filled and nothing became available. We worked the show for years back in the 80's & 90's, but the show schedule became to busy so it had to go. We're planning on trying to get a spot for next year. sal Good deal. Maybe you ...

Re: Where's the Maxamet?
It must be the blade shape causing the additional problems. Last I heard, the Manix and Native are still getting the green light. Both of those have the classic leaf shape vs the para series shape.
