For now the para 3 cruwear still but I'm debating to get the kc Endura (delica already sold out I noticed.) I like my longer blades to have more heft and even if they kept vg10 this would be my ideal Endura, especially considering the hap40 metal. The caly Is probably not going to happen unfortunate...

I too was wondering whether I still stood a chance (first time hunting for a sprint, the cruwear pm2 and para 3 fell in my lap pretty much. Even forgot I ordered a Paracruwear 3 till I got mailed by FedEx. Was expecting the caly but Ah well. Action was stiff but I was counting on my bad luck to drop...

S35VN Paramilitary2 I was actually contemplating it. I like that 35v on my native though I find it holds an edge considerably les well then s110v and cruwear. Instead I'm waiting for the sliverax seeing as a forestgreen™ caly 3 ® in Hap 40 is out of the question.. is pretty much waiting for a slive...

Freaking mobile. Accidently posted twice with me chubby fingers, apologies.

I may have one by the end of the week, just got a ship notice from KC! Hi Fellas! Sure is a test waiting on arrivals of this little gem of a knife. I have one question, does HAP40 take on a patina like the super blue steel? I have not attempted to force a patina, but I can say that the HAP40 portio...

Holy crap, I really have to take back all things I said about the Para 3. I never was interested in it, even thought it was bulky and ugly a bit. However, holding the cruwear one.. Well for starters, I'm really digging the light grey! It compliments the cruwear and it inspires something like "...

For anyone who is willing to check their records and preordered from knifecenter... Can you tell me when you placed your order and whether you have had your order filled yet? It would be appreciated. My order was placed on 5/31 and shipped on 8/22 Same here. Pretty crazy. The Cruwear PM2 launch was...

Moderation is a valuable attribute to develop. sal Hey Sal, I've wondered...do you ever buy knives? I think I've seen some makers that occasionally buy. I'm sure you're cutting needs are pretty well covered though. ;) After buying the Benchmade Osborne I heard sal thought he was done with buying kn...

The para 3 cruwear will be complimenting my pm2 cruwear, which in turn compliments my pm2 s110v. Same went for the manix 2 in S110V, g10 version. Had to buy the lw S110V one too of course because what can you possibly do with just one manix? After that I felt I had it all but my delica just wasn't c...

Ha, was gonna cancel my preorder for the cruwear so I could buy the sliverax later on. Next day knivecenter shipped it over already. It's heading to the Netherlands and already halfway through transit. I'm just going to have to live with it. It'll compliment my pm2 in cruwear perfectly I suppose. Al...

however please stop after this. My wallet will be lighter then toilet paper soon ;) No plans on stopping from my end dodgie, my apologies to your wallet. ...maybe downgrading to single-ply would at least put it back in the lead. :D Cheers, - Paul Can't argue with that, sacrifices must be made and p...

[quote="Rhix"]Thanks Tim. Yeah I'm sure there's a bunch of us who go through that cycle of new knife, I can wait, no I can't, new knife. I've already decided the Sliverax will be the last one for a while, but dang that PM2 I just got is so awesome and I really need one in S110V. Oh well, S...

You're right about the inconsistent performance when sharpening, especially the case with abrasion-resistant vanadium steels and other sophisticated alloys that require much higher grade of sharpening tools. I sharpen myself and have been for a few years, but I'm not an expert, that's for sure. I'v...

I started with a delica, decided I needed a tad tougher tool for my daily cutting and such. Decided to get a S110V pm2 and am very happy with it, there's no real reason I need another knife. So I bought 2 manix 2s in S110V G10 and lw, a pm 2 cruwear sprint after that and a native 5 to check out S35v...

I'm still not convinced. I have been dabbling with m4, but I own a pm2 in S110V and and cruwear one, some S35v which takes a filthy sharp edge.. But what does m4 have over s110v? I recently reprofiled my pm2.. With a sharpmaker, diamond through fine and extra fine rods. Just to see if I could. I cou...

Cru wear PM2 Congrats!! From a dealer or private party?! Private party, it took a long time to find but I have really taken a liking to this steel. Managed to snag one here in the Netherlands too, from a dealer but they were instantly sold out after or they managed to get one more. But I love it, l...

Thanks for the input guys. How do these steels compare between them in terms of toughness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening? It seems S90V is substantially more corrosion resistant. How do they compare to Spyderco's base steels (S30V and VG-10)? Well, let me share my experience with s110v. It...

Which one do you carry most or is your favorite? Why? As much as I appreciate the G10 and SS version, the extra weight kinda kills the "magic" for me (as elena86 put it). The orange VG10 is still my most carried, though I do carry the ZDP189 pretty regularly. The others live in various ba...
