C36CFBGP - Carbon Fiber Military w/BG-42

[TazKristi]

Just a quick heads-up... these should be ready to start shipping in approximately 2 weeks (I know I used two vague words in terms of time, but you know me!). We're working on announcing these to all of our Dealers and Distributors, so be patient if your source hasn't heard of them yet.

This is a limited run of 1500 pieces, with an MSRP of $279.95. The Carbon Fiber is peel-ply.

I think most all of you will really like this one! I know I do! :rolleyes:

[V-1]

I appreciate the heads up!

[eljay]

Very cool. Probably not in my price range but it's good to know what's going on anyway. :-)

[HoB]

Thank you Taz! That's great news!

Thank you Kristi.

And please express my appreciation to Mr. Glesser. Spending my "extra" money on new Spyderco knives keeps me out of all sort of trouble. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the heads up Kristi! Any hint as to whether the numbered ones will be among the first shipped or not? Also any idea what the story is on the Gold Pearl Kopas? Only a very small number of them seem to have made it into dealers hands, and that was what feels like ages ago to at least some of us who were not among the lucky few.

Has it been two weeks yet? Huh, are we there yet? :eek:

[Vincent]

[TheKnifeCollector]

Hot diggity, dog diggity!!! I want one of those!! Oh man, do I EVER want one of those.

[BOK]

I'm still waiting for a tip up Military.

Build one of those and I would have at least 2 or 3 in my collection :)

Kristi,
What is the BG-42 steel like. Does it have a simular grain structure as the CPM-S30V? or is it closer to the VG-10, or is a differet animal all together?

Have there been any other knives in the past with this steel?

Oh, and thanks for the Heads-Up.

respectfully,
Jose Diaz

BG-42 is somewhat similar to ATS-34, with some major differences: It has more manganese and molybdenum than ATS-34, and has 1.2% vanadium (ATS-34 has no vanadium), so look for better edge-holding than ATS-34. BG-42 is usually hardened to 61-63 Rc.

BG 42 is the same steel used for bearings in jet engines.

[jaislandboy]

[dialex]

[224477]

Hmm, that would seem to indicate extreme wear resistance. If so, it should hold an edge extremely well, but be a total b!#@h to sharpen.

Spyderco is destined to get all my money this year!! I think thet should just do auto withdrawal!! LOL.
