Haha, reread my reply to the OP -- I dropped a huge clue there.Yes yes yes. Everything I've gotten from cts so far has beaten what its suppose to be their version of. This one is on the list for sure! Come on drop some clues![]()
Another awesome sprint run that i won't be able to buy. Well......I'm depressed![]()
Are these available to pre-order now as I cant find them and I get nervous with things like this?:grumpy:
Not available for preorder just right now.
Another hint of where they are (or at least where they announced they will have them but aren't available for preorder just yet)...here it is: 71418
Sweet! Between that and the M390/CF Millie, that "certain online dealer" has some killer Spyderco exclusives on the way!
Also, for anyone who's unfamiliar with CTS-204P, it's Carpenter's version of M390.
Sal, The CTS series knife steels are, with the exception of CTS-XHP nothing really new. Sure, a 440C powder steel version ( CTS-40CP) would probably be a bit better, but I'm not a 440C fan, so...
CTS -204P and CTS 20CP are 20CV and S90V respectively.
CTS-XHP is a 440XH (Modified with some niobium and in powdered form). That has some potential, but I'm not a great D2 fan. It should outperform CPM D2 in some respects, and you seem to like it so far. That's a good sign.
The other CTS series steels are wrought. Basic versions of 1095, D2, etc. CTS- B75 looks like a non VIM VAR BG42.
Yep, I too hope Crucible doesn't go away. We're still missing a S30V, and an easily accessible version of CPM 154, and 3V if it does disappear. CTS-XHP and possibly 204P ( 20CV) look to be the biggest sellers if S30V goes away.
