CPM-D2 Military
CPM-D2 Military
I should probably mention that we hve a run going of Military models, Foliage green G-10 with CPM-D2 blades. (sorry for the sales pitch )
It's an experimental steel made by Crucible which maintains the D2 chemistry, but it is made in a particle metallurgy format.
I've been carrying one for a month or so with very nice results. they should be out in a few months, same price as the regular S30V Millie.

Don't let Kristi catch you trying to sell knives in these here forums, you KNOW how that makes her get! I KID!
On a serious note, what is D2 steel similar to as far as performance of current Spyderco Steels?

Just the G-10 color would make this a more interesting toy than usual - I have not tried the Military yet and this might be the thing to make it happen!sal wrote:I should probably mention that we hve a run going of Military models, Foliage green G-10 with CPM-D2 blades. (sorry for the sales pitch )
If it is identical to D2 steel in composition it should be practically indestructible.sal wrote:It's an experimental steel made by Crucible which maintains the D2 chemistry, but it is made in a particle metallurgy format.
Same price? THAT is the most surprising to me. I can hardly wait!sal wrote:I've been carrying one for a month or so with very nice results. they should be out in a few months, same price as the regular S30V Millie.

Thanks for informing us forum members, Sal! Don't have a foliage green Spydie as I prefer plain edge, this will be my first one - if it's with plain edge. Will it have plain edge :confused:sal wrote:I should probably mention that we hve a run going of Military models, Foliage green G-10 with CPM-D2 blades...

The price on this one is excellent for a new steel sprint run. For that reason alone I would buy one. I already have a few D2 knives around here but I'd like to see how much different the CPM varieity is. It should be a winner especially if Sal has approved it to go into one of his flagship and most popular models. I can't wait.
I had a feeling this was the steel being guessed at by some of us herehttp://spyderco.com/forums/showthread.p ... 064&page=3

Will it have the new stop lock? I'm looking forward to a Military with an ambidextrous lock.

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.

Cool variation to the Military.
I would love to carry a Mili but it's just too large for me. Not as much as that it is too large and I'm afraid I will get in trouble......but more that the handle is just way too big for me and I don't need a blade that long. :)
Can't wait for the next Paramilitary.

D2 is semi stainless anyhow and the cpm seems to help with hardness crosition and toughness so it should be a real winner

Happiness is a new "flavor" Military.
Well, I already own 4 Millies but I guess a couple more won't hurt.(except my pocket)
Looking forward to it, Sal. Itake it you will let us know the release date??
Thanks for all the new toys and tools. Bigk6
