I dropped a question in the SMKW YouTube release video about CV options, but I'm not sure if there's any chance I'll get a response.

I did to, I'm going to comment in every single video I can find with the Case rep talking about them.
I will pester whoever I have to pester constantly till I get an answer.

I really really need the 6225-1/2 with CV blades and a bone type I like ( hopefully the amber jigged ).
It will be the first new knife I've really really been excited about in a couple years, and a 6225-1/2 will be my knife of the year if they offer the right version.

I know your dilemma, recently i had a knife sent from overseas, one i had been chasing for over 2 years, was delighted when i finally found one. 6 days to arrive here, then over 3 weeks of stress while it floated around in the system here, even then i had to drive and go and pick it up from the depot. Takes the fun out of purchasing. Take care over there.:)
 
They are already listed on a site of a big dealer in TN. They show out of stock but they actually haven’t been in stock yet, prices are listed. Mark M mcc850 , Abalone is pricey.🙄
The other thing I found interesting is that they have two or three of them described as having “carbon steel” instead of calling it “CV”. Anyone think this is a thing? Have they changed their steel or just what they call it?

According to the response that Hickory n steel Hickory n steel got on YouTube from SMKW: "This year we have been informed Case will be expending their steel options and will be doing more in 1095 and CV as well"

It's still CV, but I've seen it listed as " classic carbon series " various places before.

I'm a bit disappointed with what I saw, but the red bone was one of my choices for CV so I can be happy enough.

They rarely do a cover option for a knife in both steels, so I'm bummed that the amber jigged and antique smooth are off the list for potential CV options.

And the other option is the grey bone which I don't care that much for, I have an 08 in the grey and it comes out as a kind of ugly light purple-ish color.
If they only have 2 CV options it's going to be a letdown, I can't say this is really good enough but so far it's still better than nothing if only just.

Bummer on the abalone. I will just admire from here haha. They did a pilot test run with carbon on those micarta trappers. Maybe they are branching out a bit due to the popularity of GEC’s carbon steel. I wouldn’t be mad at it!

I didn't even get the notification on that reply, I'm glad you saw it.

I guess I made just the right comment to get a response, and the reply from them gives me hope.


The grey that's shown for the 25-1/2 was already an 08 option, and with the red bone option for the 25-1/2 it gives me hope they may offer the same combo for the 08.
If I see a 2nd decent CV option for the 08 and at least a couple decent CV offerings for the 25-1/2 , this could be one of the best knife years I've seen in a long time.
 
Hopefully, what the website showed won't be the only options available. I'm hoping for one in stag, like the one I missed on the 'bay.
The cayenne bone in CV would be a winner, as well.... heck, even a yellow one in CV would be great.
 
Lately it seems I got a thing for Amber Bone.. :thumbsup: That will probably be my first purchase.. I know Case will have a Billion other handle choices as they go along during the year.. So many choices.. 🌋

I’m sure they will too. I like the red and grey bone in CV, and in the SS, the Micarta with the brushed bolsters and satin blade is hard to beat, but I’m ALWAYS looking for jigged Chestnut.
😊🤞
 
The Case rep told me just the dark red and pocket worn grey in CV to start, with other CV options planned.
Some of my favorite covers are already reserved to SS though, so I can't imagine what they might do that would really excite me.
I will remain optimistic though.
