That looks nice. Thanks for your continued maintenance of the List RamZar :D

What I already own:
S30V, S35VN, S90V, S110V, H1, VG10, XHP, ZDP189, 204P, 10V, 20CV, Cru-Wear, K390, N690Co, Elmax, HAP40.

What lays ahead:
LC200N Caribbean (logged in);
SB Caly jr. (preordered, keeping fingers crossed I get one!);
Vtoku aka WTF steel Delica or Endura (preordered);
Maxamet Para3 although I consider the price a bit high, so I‘m hoping for another package, and tend to go for the
52100 Para3 if that one is less expensive;
M4 Advocate (probably out of reach pricewise, at least based on regular MAP level).

Only very few other premium steels out there. M390 being one of them, but for sure I‘ll never buy at BBS (insane shipping costs). CPM154 Respect is way too pricy for me, same is 4V Bowie for sure. They‘re gorgeous though... but you can‘t have them all if you‘re me.

Have I missed any known offering? I‘m not buying off secondary market.

Thanks RamZar. O1, RWL-34, PSF27 and MBS-26 I‘m aware of the models using these steels. Which models use CPM 3V?

GB2 doesn‘t give me any itch, and the Mantras are odd-looking in my eyes. I‘d rather wait for a super good opportunity on the Advocate. Or maybe a sprint run of any model I don‘t have yet.

Tuff had 3V. You should be able to get a new one for a good price.

BladeHQ has done quite a few folders in M4 and they have a ParaMilitary2 with Black DLC M4 blade and Natural G-10 coming out. I wouldn't be suprised if BladeHQ does exclusive runs of Native5 and Para3 in M4 and Natural G-10.

These were added to the Upcoming list within the past couple of weeks:

• Manix2 52100 Black DLC Blade Dark Gray G-10 KnifeWorks (USA)
• Manix2 CPM-S90V Black DLC Blade Black/Brown Burled G-10 Sprint (USA)
• ParaMilitary2 CPM-M4 Black DLC Blade Natural G-10 BladeHQ (USA)

Yeah, the Tuff. Please, show me where I can get a new one for a „good price“. :)

Blade HQ wants $33 for shipping to Germany. I doubt that I will ever place an order there. A Native with M4 and non FRN handles would be a nice thing though...

I‘ll never manage to own all steels. I know that and am fine with that. You listed 34 different steels. I‘m not even interested in all, can very well live without the Cr13Movs or BD1. I‘d be happy to be at 20 by the end of this year.

And I just realized that I need to decide which Damascus steel model I need to add to my list... :D

I've seen Tuff at good prices in the past. You'll have to monitor various websites. I'll leave that to you.

You can't top the Native5 40th Anniversary Edition with Thor™ pattern martensitic Damascus steel from the Swedish firm Damasteel and excellent fluted carbon fiber handle. Not cheap though.

Disregard...

Rhino was already on the Upcoming list in post #1.

I try to keep post #1 as updated and accurate as possible. So, please consult it first.

Sorry, I thought it had actually dropped, not realizing that it was just opened up for pre-ordering.

You do a great job of keeping that list updated (thank you), so I do consult it, but that doesn't help if I misinterpret stuff. :rolleyes:

I understand. No problem.

Para3 M390 Blue G-10 Bento Box Shop (USA) has started shipping

I‘d go for this one for sure, if it wasn‘t only available at BBS. They say they‘re „not responsible if the package is lost or damaged in transit“, and charge $69 (!) for this. That‘s hostile. There, I‘ve said it. :mad:

If we're lucky, DLT Trading will put out a red G10 M390 Para 3 late this year or sometime next year. They may be more helpful/willing to ship internationally, and DLT has much better pricing than BBS.

DLT is on the short list of US dealers with ok shipping costs, together with KC and KW. And red would be ever nicer than blue. :) I‘d be in on that one.

As long as they keep producing the red M390 line, I am really crossing my fingers for a Military. Since the Para 3 has been out, I wonder how the sales have compared between the two?

Thank you RamZar for making and keeping the list updated.

Bento Box Shop Exclusive Para3 M390 Blue G-10 is shipping.

KnifeWorks Exclusive Manix2 52100 Black DLC Blade Gray G-10 is in stock.
