The edge on the Cruwear Military sprint, or at least the one I've got here, is a much smoother edge, almost polished. It's also exceptionally sharp, by production knife standards.
I've never shaved with a straight razor, but just for giggles this morning, I tried shaving a flat ~ 3 square inch area on the side of my face with mine and it worked! Not quite as close as my Shick Xtreme3, but it would do in a pinch. I stopped with that -- didn't want to push my luck. Today's an important day for me... Bama football, Redsox baseball, and a local arts & crafts festival, so I didn't get near my throat :D

I'm a lifelong Razorbacks fan and I'm wondering if Bama will put 70 pts on the board against us tonight or if they will stop at 50 :P
While this is not the best year to be a Hogs fan, I can say I've been very fortunate to acquire 2 Cruwear Millies. I had to sell a couple of knives off to make it happen, but so far I'm glad I did. The CC model will be my user and after less than a week of carry the G10 is already taking on a different shade of gray, kind of linen color. It is the one on the right in the photo below. I think this one will age nicely.

Thanks for the warm welcome gentlemen! I'll try to contribute more often to this great forum. :)
Looks like my Cru Wear Millie from Robert will be here on Monday, I'm really looking forward to this one! :spyder:

Nice photos! I like the way the G-10 is aging, and it looks like a nice patina is coming along too. I've got a second on order too, originally just to make sure I'd get at least one, but now I'm planning to keep both
As for the football score, I'm sure Saban didn't want to get the score over 50, but you can't hand the ball to a freshman and tell him not to run with it :D (sorry)

Edge came sharp, but with a burr. Just touched it up on the Sharpmaker and wow. I've gotten 3 hair whittling edges using the Sharpmaker and I think this might be there too. But my hair is too thin to test
If anyone really wants one, there is a legit seller on fleabay selling for $199. Says they have "more than 10 available" too. Strange how the last military sprint was going for almost $400 on there for awhile, lol.
The grinds on the one I'm carrying were a bit uneven. They were pretty close to 15dps but one side widened out to 12-13 degrees at the tip. The knife was otherwise flawless; smooth deployment, centered blade, solid lock. Awesome knife.
