Is there an issue with new Cruwear models?

[twinboysdad]

Everyone loves it, everyone wants more, yet it seems to have stalled. Sal discussed Native 5 LW, but let the Cruwear runneth deep! Dodo, Manix 2 LW, re run the Millie? Little Big Knives?

I would love to see more knives in cruwear. I like experimenting with 52100 right now but my go to blade is my KC Manix in cruwear. Just an awesome pocket knife steel. Bring on more cruwear!

[The Mastiff]

They know their business better than I do but I know I'd be buying more Cruwear knives if they were released. Time for a lockback. I understand the issue with Enduras and Stretches but perhaps the Manix back lock wouldn't be out of the question?

Every release has sold out pretty quickly. I'd think it's one of the safer bets for Spyderco.

A Cruwear Millie with peel-ply CF handle would be a dream.

It seems like a matter of being over shadowed by similar but perhaps better steel options. The same can be said for a few different steels in the last 5 years.

I’m in for a CQI rerelease of the Military and a Manix 2 Lightweight!

Maybe so, there are a bunch of steels that seem to do well, but as a business decision, Cruwear does seem to sell very well, so that alone is a major factor. I also think that whatever hype goes with the latest and "best" ever super steel, Cruwear still is one of the best balanced (functional attributes) steel available and affordable. So, yes please, more Cruwear!

Still hoping for some Cruwear and FRN/FRCP knives! :D

What is the big deal with cruwear? From what i understand, its 3v with more wear resistance. Is that true? I’m a fan of 3v but is there anything else about it that makes people go crazy for it? #outoftheloop

I wish I never would of sold my Cruwear Military. I had the Para 3 too, but Cruwear really shines in the Military on a larger platform.

what i like about cruwear is that it is more corrosion-resistant than other tool steels and probably some stainless steels that i have used. putting an atom-splitting edge to it is also a no-brainer

that makes sense. it looks like its a popular choice and i figured it wasn't by accident or coincidence.

And for the Seinfeld fans....



..please, carry on....

[koenigsegg]

Yes more CruWear please

[steelcity16]

Still waiting for a Native in Cruwear. Fully lined g10 model with cruwear would be my ultimate edc. Please somebody make this!

But yes, need all of the Golden models in cruwear. New sprints and exclusives.

[steelcity16]

All of the Cruwear offerings have been sprints I believe. But I assume a dealer can comission a Cruwear knife as long as its not the same Gray G10 as the sprint, right? Seems like a no-brainer to me. I would think pretty much any Cruwear model would be a single day sell out. Especially if they hype ot the way BHQ does for their releases. I REALLY hope some dealer starts a "family" of Cruwear exclusives like BHQ has done with with Jade/M4. Maybe some new G10 color like a transluscent forest green or something. Or transluscent smoke.

Not too long ago KC did a exclusive Manix 2 with Cruwear and CF scales.

I'd be up for a Cruwear Native 5 LW or linerless G10. I certainly don't mind grey but I seem to have an abundance of it all of a sudden. So I would mind seeing something different.
