Same ol' same ol', the PM2 CruCarta. It's starting to darken from skin oils so it isn't as pretty as when I got it, but the wear is slowly changing the scales in a favorable manner. I may still buy a Maxamet knife just "because", but for the first time in my adult life I'm becoming a "one knife" kind of guy. Of course, I keep a Matriach in my Jeep for when I have to go some place that doesn't allow guns, but this knife just keeps on keepin' on.

I bought the Cruwear because every source I could find marked it as a "balanced" steel, with roughly equal points for ease of sharpening, ability to hold an edge, rust resistance, and resistance to breaking. Someone here mentioned a different steel that was all of that but more - if you remember or know that please PM me as I've forgotten it (maybe S90V?). I'm old and on meds, and some of the meds I have to take to remain upright, jitter-free and alive are hard on the short-term memory), and thus my memory is shit. I can tell you almost everything that happened in my life up to about 2007, but the rest is hazy at best. If you give me enough time I might remember some of the rest, but that knife steel, it "plumb evades me", as Jimmy Buffet sang in "God's Own Drunk" (to be clear, alcohol isn't one of my problems, it's all the pain and neurological shit. I've badly abused my body and that's all coming home to rest thanks to two particularly nasty forms of arthritis).

Enough of my shit, does anyone know the steel? I'm unusually attached to the PM2 but a larger knife would be fine (I have trouble with the Spyderco's like the Endura with the tapering tail, I like the more square tail of the PM2 and the compression lock. I'd love to have a new model Spyderco Military that's drilled and tapped for four positions instead of two (so I can carry point-up), but it would have to be Cruwear or a better steel for me to buy one at current prices.
