Looks like anything that comes stock in CPMM4 is out. wonder if it has to do with availability.

The tenacious in m4 is a fantastic knife. I hope to see other steels in this knife. Same with resilience

Seems likely. Man I LOVE M4. Really hope BHQ continues the tradition with something similar and not Cruwear.
If someone would do a black blade GB2 exclusive before it's too late that would be awesome. BHQ? SNK? Please?

There are plenty other PM M4 sources, so availability shouldn't be a problem

I don't think we will lose sight of M4. Such a great steel! Even with the Crucible . . . . . bankruptcy, many, many other companies make it.

Nice to see a short list.
As others, I wonder if there are other factors than slow sales affecting some of this, e.g. tariffs and / or access to steels that used to come from Crucible.
Whatever made them go away, I’m glad to see the list much shorter and much less FOMO inducing (non actually) than I had feared.

Are the BD1N versions of the kitchen knives being discontinued, or is it just the blue super?
Just the Super Blue.

Neatro is OBVIOUSLY the name of an obscure lesser supervillian in the marvel cosmos. I'd go with Vasco for the camp alone

I hope the company releases a GB3 with a more confidence-inspiring detent.
Lol! Very subtle way of saying "almost no detent". I can wrist flick my GB2 open.

I’m pretty sure my daughter is getting me the Bradley 2 for Christmas. Well either that or the Dodo. Can’t go wrong with either of them. So I’m good. Either way I get to add another CPM M4 knife to my collection.

I have all of the Murray Carter knives except the Itamae Nakiri. I use the two smaller ones almost daily, and can't imagine good substitutes - the larger, notsomuch, but when I want it, it's great to have. I guess the less expensive Murray Carter line is functionally the same, so no big deal.

GB2 inbound. I must say I’m sad M4 is departing, I’ve recently reacquainted with it in my Para3 and really like the steel. I like REX45 slightly better, but right now those are my go-to EDCs.

The GB2 is one of my very favorite knives. It so satisfying to use and it looks gorgeous.
The liner lock will break in significantly the more you use it, mine was pretty stiff at first. And it helps if you push down on it as you push it to the left

Thank you for the confirmation, sal. I am so eagerly looking forward to the Button Up.
I saw a video on YouTube with your new Reveal brocure that someone showed.
Amazing knives, like the Mantra and the new Mules, and he showed the pictures of the Button Up.
