Kristi tends to post (and pin) it when they’re good and ready. Until then your guess is as good as any.

It seems really random, before I would say in 2-3 months. But the z-max came out surprisingly fast.

I just wish there was a better list of future steels. I am interested in z-wear but if I knew MagnaCut was coming out this year I might skip z-wear.

Someone told me that Zapp is working on a new technology where the PM process takes place under many atmospheres of pressure of a proprietary mix of hydrogen, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and methane.

They plan to call it Under-Wear.

:eek: :p

I have been told Z-Wear PM is melted by Crucible and rolled by Niagara, and therefore IS CPM-CRUWEAR. Not merely identical to it. This person also claimed to have been EDCing MagnaCut “as long as anyone”. They may well have gotten in on the initial batch of MagnaCut, but this was the first time I’d heard that Crucible made Z-Wear. IF this is true, what is Zapp’s contribution to Z-Wear PM? Distribution and marketing?

I was told they are done but we don't deserve to buy them yet..


Granted I was told this by my 4y old daughter, not sure what kind of connections she has at Spyderco 🤣

Seems legit based on this 2010 article. https://www.syracuse.com/news/2010/01/c ... signs.html

Zapp is licensed to sell CPM products in Europe, but now it’s here in the US so it seems something changed.

I'm _more_ interested in it because of it's similarity to PD1 and CruWear (which I have for comparison). I'd love to see a PGK mule to add another data point as well.
