I don't have CRUWEAR but I have it's ingot predecessor Vascowear and it's pretty easy to sharpen with a Crystolon stone and a coupple of swipes on a ceramic rod and you're in business

I was thinking about something with 3V. Never noticed Cruwear until now.

Certainly up there among my favorites, though I only have one knife in it. Hard to believe I've had this thing for 7-8 years now, and I can't see anything new ever knocking it out of the rotation. I'd have to say it's my favorite knife made outside of Idaho.
EDIT: On the topic of corrosion, that's not patina BTW. I acid washed it but then brushed it afterwards instead of stonewashing. I do recall it having a stain on it from something before I did it, but never any noticeable rust. I will say that it gets quite a bit more pocket time here in the dry summers than in the damp PNW winters, but I'm not sure if that's really necessary.
