Are we going to see any Cruwear this year?

#1

Post by Doeswhateveraspidercan »

I am curious Sal are we going to see any Cruwear releases this year? We are now 5 months in to the year almost half way through and no Cruwear.

I am looking specifically for a Cruwear Para3 and am wondering if it is ever going to be a thing again or not or if it is a case of buy on the secondary market.

I would love to know if a Cruwear Shaman is coming or not before the CF/S90V version drops. It would really help my decision making. :)

I suspect you will see a Cruwear Para 3 LW at some point. Maybe 2020 by the time it comes out though. There have already been 2 Cruwear G10 Para 3. I'd love to see one in DLC with the gray G10.

Yes, we are way overdue for a CQI Cruwear Millie! Native and Native LW are the other two I have been waiting on forever.

I like to think that with all the Cruwear Nation hype last year that a bunch of dealers put in requests for exclusives that will start rolling out soon.

I spoke with the SFO today, and the fella I talked to had never heard of a micarta/Cruwear Shaman.

Unfortunately, i think that means that the CF/S90V is likely to show up first.

If the Micarta/Cruwear is an exclusive, the SFO folks would not be talking about it, the news should come from the dealer. Probably the dealer's social media?

Sal mentioned a couple of Shaman exclusives for 2019.

I wasn’t saying that I want the Cruwear to come out first. I just want to know if the cruwear is coming or not before the CF/S90V drops. If I pass an the CF/S90V version and the Cruwear never happens I will be bummed. Due to cost I have a feeling that we will not see a ton of variations of the awesome Shaman design.

Probably doesn’t matter much. At $280 I think the CF/S90V Shaman will be available for quite a while.

Disagree 100% I own a Cruwear Millie and would easily purchase a CQI version. Other steels are welcome as well but Cruwear is quite special.

It is a pretty well established fact people want Cruwear, in many makes an models and do not want to be victimized by scalpers and flippers.

Make it Sal and we will purchase. :)

Sorry, I misread your post's meaning a bit.

I'm going to have faith that a less pricey sprint run and at least one exclusive will happen in time, and I'm hoping the next sprint is the Cruwear and micarta.

+1 A CQI version of a Cruwear Military is a must-have for MANY forumites! We NEED this ASAP!

I really hope the S90V/CF Shaman isn't the compromise over the Cruwear/micarta version. I'd MUCH rather have the latter.

Yes! Cruwear Shaman and CQI Millie.

Might have to break out my OG Cruwear Millie.
On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.

Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.

No interest in a another Cruwear Millie at all. Sprint/exclusive Millies haven't been selling well. It took 2 to 3 years to sell out the 204p and cf/ti s90v millies.

Surprisingly even the Rex45 Millie is still available with no scalping/flipping blah blah blah involved. Same with the 52100, still available 3 years later with no scalping/flipping blah blah blah involved

IMO Sprints should be new never used steels. That's what makes them special and unique
