    Cpm-440v?

    Found these while looking for a native as my beater. I ASSUME they're fake as I've never heard of CPM-440V. That and they're both marked 78 of 500 :P

    Not at all, its a different name for S60V steel.

    Plus its a collectors marked model.

    These look real to me.

    Those are legit. Spyderco used 440V on quite a few models including the native in frn and g10.
    We would rather be the knife in your pocket, because is "works" better, than the knife in your showcase, because it "looks" better.

    Like you said, they seem real. There was a limited run of these released (500) and this guy managed to snag both of #78. Probably was a collector's club member, as certain numbers of the first 200 go to the member with that assigned number. There was no special engraving to indicate whether these particular knives were for a collector's club member, as all 500 were engraved IIRC.

    Ah, it looks like I messed up. I never knew that about the collector's club and CPM-440V. Thanks for the info.
