Well, I'm in favor of the S30V version being dropped and the Cru-wear version replacing it. Certainly now is a good time as the B competition has made Cru-wear a stock blade steel on a knife in the same category.

Edited to add: I'm fine with any equivalent steel, it does not have to be Cru-wear by name.

I am with you here. In my opinion they should have done the production PM2 Cru-carta in OD Green as that seems to be the most popular color of Micarta in the fixed blade market. If they had done that, they could have pushed out an OD Green/Cruwear production Shaman as well and not broken the sprint rules of never doing the exact same model. Then that paves the way for a family of production OD Green Micarta Cruwear production models that could even go into Seki in the Endura, Endela, Police, Delica, Dragonfly, Stretch, Jester, Cricket, etc.

I think the Cru-carta PM2 being production is certainly a step in the right direction and Eric said on one of the recent reveal videos that more Micarta models are in the works. :D

Yeah they went in 5 minutes. They are a small shop and probably only got a couple.

OD green micarta is the best scale material for knives.

Maybe there is still time to change the PM2 to OD Green. ;)

Then there can be:
K390/Denim Micarta
4V/Burgundy Micarta

And I personally would love coated Iiners and hardware while leaving the blade uncoated.

So I guess we can mark off Blade-Ops and Knifeworks (I always assume Knife Center is a no go since they consistently over sell pre-orders). I've still got CSI, BHQ, DLT, NGK, GPK, KSF, REC & KJ on refresh. Any others?

I wouldn't be surprised if these are only the first batches, and that the OOS dealers will be receiving more shipments in the future.

I don't think knifecenter took pre orders for the z wear, the product page says they won't sell anything until they know how many units they will receive and availability will be announced on their social media pages.

Good to know, I've never had a problem ordering from Knife Center but once they open up a pre-order I figure they're as good as sold out. Queued them up too.
