Re: Cruwear or 3v
Most of my recent acquires have been in either CruWear or 3V. They also have been fixed blades. Really wasn't my choice; just coincidence that the models I liked were done in these steels. Guess the knife maker is pretty smart....

Re: Cruwear or 3v
I have 3V already in a fixed blade and more Spydie Cru than I can handle at the moment, so for my purposes (edc) definitely Cru-Wear. But a 3V Spydie would be nice.

Re: Cruwear or 3v
Aside from the OG Tuff, are there any other Spydercos in 3v?

Re: Cruwear or 3v
For me, the answer won't be MagnaCut until it is widely available in a production model. Given that the pandemic has negatively impacted manufacturing, how many months or years will that take?

Re: Cruwear or 3v
Cruwear for folders. 3V for heavy-duty fixed blades.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
