Cruwear military
Will the pre orders for the Cruwear military sell out or am I worried over nothing?

They might, they might not. My psychic powers are failing me at the moment and I seem to have misplaced my magic 8-ball. 
(just joking! :p )
A lot of places aren't taking pre-orders at all anymore. Howes, Grand Prarie, etc. You seem to be here on the forum a lot, so I'm sure you'll get word when they arrive at these dealers and will be able to snag one if you put some effort into it. It should be a great knife and I hope you get one.

I'd say you have a very good chance of doing a trade for a cruwear with an M390. The M4/G10 will be a bit harder to trade for, IMHO. There are no guarantees however.kennethsime wrote:I wonder what the chances are I could trade a Cruwear Military for an M390/CF or M4/Brown G-10 or another previous sprint run.

Oh I know, was just curious what other people thought, if stuff like this is common on BST sites or not.chuck_roxas45 wrote:I'd say you have a very good chance of doing a trade for a cruwear with an M390. The M4/G10 will be a bit harder to trade for, IMHO. There are no guarantees however.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Also you might qualify that because that might be construed as fishing for a trade offer. :)kennethsime wrote:Oh I know, was just curious what other people thought, if stuff like this is common on BST sites or not.

The Military with brown g10 is CTS-XHP. The M4 had a g10 scale and a titanium scale. I think thanks what Chuck was getting at re: brown M4 being hard to come by.
In chronological order:
Paramilitary 2, BD30P Manix 2, Delica 4, M390 Mule, XHP Military, Dragonfly 2, Woodcraft Mule, ZDP-189 Manbug, Cruwear Mule, Superleaf, Forum Native 5, Manix 2 XL, Endura 4

For the record, I'm not making an offer, lol. I am looking at a Military, and I want something other than the plain jane if I can, but don't want to spend $300, lol. Just wondering if trades like that happened. Thanks for keeping me honest Chuck.chuck_roxas45 wrote:Also you might qualify that because that might be construed as fishing for a trade offer. :)

The M4/Ti Millies are probably the most difficult to find in new, or original non frankenmodded condition, though the S90V Millie will get higher prices.
The Cruwear Millie has or has not had a number of the run released? As difficult as ingot Cruwear is to work there might be a bunch of seconds.
I don't know if this is to finish out the batch of steel ordered for mules or if it is a whole run of 600, 1000, etc.
I will be trying hard to make sure one of these ends up in my hands. Two if things really go my way as I don't expect to ever see these again. High wear stainless steels such as M390 will always have greater demand no matter the performance of the non stainless alloys and tool steels. There is a substantial number of people who won't buy non stainless knives for whatever reasons.
And I've waited over 30 years for a knife with this combination of attributes.

If cruwear is anywhere near 3v, I'd absolutely love it in a millie.Philo Beddoe wrote:Maybe I'm misinformed but whats the point of a millie in Cruwear? I've read that's it not any better that S30V but have no clue if that's true?

They are close in percentage of carbide forming alloys so that really remains to be seen I guess, I think a lot will depend on final RC hardness.Philo Beddoe wrote:Maybe I'm misinformed but whats the point of a millie in Cruwear?

I'm thinking that toughness will allow thin, stable edges that will resist chipping. Think s30v that is tougher.DeathBySnooSnoo wrote:I still don't get the appeal of 3V in folders...or even smaller fixed blades. It seems great for big camp knives/choppers...
