I wouldn't think so. Every knife design doesn't come in every steel and the M4 GB2 has been a fairly successful knife.
I'll enjoy mine - you guys carry on :)
i was actually willing to try it, but if cruwear is getting rust spots on me, m4 doesn't have a chance.
It really is much improved with micarta. I'm really unclear why it got the faux carbon fiber treatment. I put the green camouflage* ones from SDK on mine. I saw JSumm's maroon ones and had to have similar!kennethsime wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2023 10:12 pmI really need to get one of these and slap some micarta on it.
I'm trying out the food safe EDCi Formula from Aegis Solutions. Trying to see if I can prevent pitting of M4.
I would love to put on some custom wood scales, the GB2 looks amazing with them. The current CF scales don't do much for me.kennethsime wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2023 10:12 pmI really need to get one of these and slap some micarta on it.
Im with you on that. I really enjoy the cf scales on the gb2. I think they look great and i prefer them to micarta or anything else ive seen. They also feel excellent in the hand with a perfect amount of texture (to me).
I would like to find some scales like that for a PM2 - I think it might look great with bronze clip and hardware.capt.carl wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 8:37 amIm with you on that.

Some of the wood handled ones are gorgeous though i have to say
if the knife is that popular in m4, imagine how popular it would be in magnacut. although, if spyderco drags their feet any more on magnacut than they already have, the market will be too flooded by other companies and it won't be new anymore. consumers are fickle and will lose interest before spyderco makes this steel available.PeanutButterFan wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 12:29 pmIt may be worth noting that not all of Gayles knives are in m4. In fact, I don’t think any of his fixed blades are in m4. Even the nightstick is in s30v. So I don’t see why using a different steal would be an issue. But, seeing that they cant even keep the m4 ones in stock, spyderco doesn’t really have a reason to change it up.
