We are now accepting pre-orders for the Spyderco C81GPBN2 Sprint Run Earth Brown Para-Military2 with S35VN steel. Available for $139.95 and you are not charged until your knife ships.
Crucible Industries’ new S35VN steel substitutes niobium carbides for some of the vanadium in their popular S30V steel. They estimate this steel to be 15-20% tougher than S30V without any loss of wear resistance—it’s improved toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping. This steel has gained rapid popularity with both custom knifemakers and the steel aficionados who make up a good chunk of your customers.
These are expected to go fast so place your order early! Expected to start shipping in early 2012.
