How about Cruwear?
Starting around page 63 in this thread are the pics of the new Ayoob that Eric showed off at Shot Show... viewtopic.php?f=2&t=87077&start=1240#p1593006
It presents better on certain social media sites when its Pinned…
Hey I'm shaking my head on this news too... But I'm not going to judge the situation until I know more. I'm just extremely thankful that a Sprint Run of this great Golden Era C-60 Ayoob model got a second Sprint Run.
Just check this thread everyday and keep in touch with your favorite dealer and I'm pretty sure every person who seriously wants a C-60 Ayoob Sprint Run will be able to get one ( or 2). Just keep your cash handy and be ready to pull the trigger when the opportunity presents itself.
Hey bud sorry, I forgot all about this request.
Well I can now vividly see why you would want that Silverax model in full SE. After looking at this comparison along side a full SE version of the C-60 I can see why that Silverax model would be an excellent model to have with TEETH.
Agree on the just waiting. We've all expressed our excitement.ladybug93 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 2:22 pmi can't imagine there's too much more to say that hasn't been said in 74 pages. we're all just waiting. too many questions and no real answers... all the guessing and postulating on this thread have so muddied the waters that i've lost track of what we're actually expecting. i tried asking once for clarification, but it was ignored. we know there's a pe cruwear in existence, but are we actually expecting anything else? was that a sprint or an exclusive? is there another sprint or exclusive in the works? will there be a se version? do we know what steel? plus many many many many more questions. the discussion isn't going anywhere because we've been given so little real information.
We should believe that the PE Cruwear is the sprint we're waiting on, and not an exclusive, due to Mushroom's post:
Yeah and that's why I'm pretty certain that the serrated version won't have Cruwear. I will actually be very surprised if they do use Cruwear for the serrated versions because of the extra difficulty they would encounter working with it. Because of the bad experience Spyderco had using ZDP-189 on serrated blades I'm doubtful that they would spend the extra money to work with a super hard blade steel >> when in fact VG-10 will be quite adequate for the serrated version. Unless Spyderco surprises all of us by using something completely different.Evil D wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 3:23 amI wonder how cutting serrations in Cruwear will differ from the other steels that the factory are used to working with. I would assume it won't grind as easily as VG10. This may be a part of the hold up, and it could be an issue if they chose other steels for the SE version.
CruWear is not so overly difficult to grind serrations onto. Spyderco hasn’t offered it yet but it certainly is not impossible. If anyone has proven that they’re willing to take risks, it’s Spyderco. Not that I think grinding serrations on CruWear is risky, I just don’t think it’s something that would intimidate Spyderco out of trying.JD Spydo wrote: Yeah and that's why I'm pretty certain that the serrated version won't have Cruwear.

I did hear a few years back that cutting/grinding serrations in ZDP-189 was a very difficult process indeed. Even if they used up some old AUS-8 bar stock for the serrated version it wouldn't bother me in the least.
