Pochi, Lil Native Sprint, and Swayback are at the top of my list and I'll definitely try to grab one of the Z-Wear Shamans! I also really like the SpyOpera and Rockjumper. The Rockjumper really seems like it will be a great backpacking knife.
I wonder if we'll see the next batch of K390 "Endura" Series in the next reveal. Like the Stretch 2, Endela, Wharncliffe Delica, Police LW, and maybe even a Jester!?

I need to complain about one thing...
The Swayback.
I am very disappointed in the clip choice. I love the spoon clip on most applications. But on Ti, the wire clip is a thing of beauty.
Whoever made this choice, should be brought up on charges. :D

How is the rockjumper climbing specific?

Does anyone have any experience with Z-wear? I believe Larrin may have mentioned it before but it hasn’t been on my radar.

According to Larrins graphs, Z-wear has shown higher (~21ft-lbs) as well as more consistent toughness than cru-wear (~9 ft-lbs). Crazy thing is the graph showed that the toughness was relatively the same in the range from 58-62 HRC.

After the heartbreak of missing out on the crucarta shaman (my ideal work knife), I’m not holding my breath for the zwear version..
On the plus side, the only reason I haven’t bought a YoJimbo is because it’s too small for my huge mitts. The YoJumbo is an awesome surprise!

It’s analogous to CPM Cruwear. I have used it in a few small fixed blades I ground and had heat treated by Peter’s Heat Treating to 61 hrc.
It’s the reason I enjoy CPM Cruwear so much.
I get the feeling that the micarta was left the same color because it’s chemically nearly identical to CPM Cruwear.

I really want the Swayback. I also really want the SpyOpera, maybe even more than I want the Swayback. A Spyderco with micarta scales and a premium stainless steel blade? Ohh yes!

The Lil Native Sprint with S90v blade steel is the one I am after!

Are you sure that difference wasn't between ingot cruwear and z-wear pm? I remember Larrin having both on an older chart on toughness testing. In the article he posted the other day, cpm cruwear and z-wear are shown as the same.BallisticLinguistic wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 2:54 pmAccording to Larrins graphs, Z-wear has shown higher (~21ft-lbs) as well as more consistent toughness than cru-wear (~9 ft-lbs).

Wow! I’m still waiting to purchase a Siren... but my short list now includes a Large Swick, Rockjumper, and A Swayback!

I'm pretty sure that is ingot Cruwear. CPM Cru-wear and Z-wear should be pretty much identical in all categories.

Super excited about the Shaman in Micarta and Z Wear! Hoping I can luck out. Can you “pre order” sprint runs? Or first come, first serve?
Definitely pumped for a Delica in K390 as well as a SpyOpera!
What’s recession and pandemic proof? SPYDERCO KNIVES! Great job Sal, Eric and the rest of Spyderco!

I pre-ordered the DragonFly II in K390
That should be a real winner!
