Cru Wear Centofante III !

[GarageBoy]

Saw @Buddafucco post this and got an email from Indiana knives

https://indianaknives.com/products/spyd ... -exclusive

A bit pricey, but I'm glad it was given attention, classic design, thin hollow ground Cru Wear!

[Mushroom]

Bold choice but I like it!

[TkoK83Spy]

Interesting, would have never seen this one coming. Always thought this knife deserved some better materials.

[Mrj]

Definitely a surprise exclusive. I’m on the fence but this may be one of those collectors items down the road. I welcome more surprises like this in the future.

[Paul Ardbeg]

This is something else than your typical PM2/Manix/Shaman exclusive. Very cool!!

Too bad only a righty , but happy to see it for others . MG2

What makes it only for righty’s. Pocket clip looks reversible.

Wow, and I was just wondering again when we'd see the release of the High Performance Delica. Can you say Upgrade?

Looks like it's drilled with 4 position clip options and it has an ambidextrous lock.

[Evil D]

Probably one of the fastest checkouts I've ever gone through

Have always loved these knives and wanted to see sprints and exclusives.

Not only that but this also means it has two liners vs the single liner of the original.

Good looking knife, was always a fan of the original. I might jump but Spyderco is really releasing so many good knives right now, all competing for my funds.

I'm not a fan of CF, but this would be one of the easiest purchasing decisions ever, if it wasn't exclusive to a US dealer.

I'm not quite getting who it's made exclusively for though? Apparently Indiana knives is not the company that commissioned them so who is it?

Coming soon to DLT Trading... https://www.dlttrading.com/spyderco-cen ... wear-blade

Rather than being a “retailer exclusive,” this is what’s known as a “distributor exclusive.”

Retailers buy their products from distributors and then resell direct to consumer.

Distributors purchase directly from the manufacturer at wholesale prices and then resell to retailers. It typically requires a retail license to purchase from these sources.

Just as there are different retailers we purchase our knives from - there are different distributors that the retailers purchase their products from. Any retailer who happens to purchase their products from this particular distributor (The Knife Distributor) can/will receive an allotment of this exclusive that they can sell.

Thanks for the clarification!

This is one of Spydercos best sleeper models.

Very thin blade stock for high cutting performance.

Very light

Handle has a pretty neutral feel that can accomodate even my large hands (SO sorry if mentioning this offends any1!!!), that should be comfortable for just about anyone.

$200 is my arbirtrary limit for cutting tools, but this is a really cool thing to see. The Centofantes never got enough attention IMO.

I had a Krein regrind Centofante 4 at one point that was so thin I could flex the cutting edge by hand. The knife was a laser.

[Hopsbreath]

Sheesh, look at that thang! I want one, I really want one; right now isn’t the best time for me to drop that kind of money though. I already see myself regretting skipping this down the line.
