So unless I have missed a few it looks like the only 4.7 1st's that are out "in the wild" are in 3V...
It seams like Guy is working on all those first then moving on to the 20CV, anyone else notice that?
There are a few 20cv's out there also.
I think you're right with your observation, but it's hard to tell what their plan is.
It is the CPM version of a still very popular older ingot steel. In the context of this knife it was billed as being a bit tougher than 20CV.Yeah for sure, just an observation. But it sounds like there may be a few out there...
So, is the CPM 154 more corps ion resistant than the 20? What's the advantage or draw?
It also looks like the 4.7 is (as of now) the only GSO available in the 154, seams like the 4.7 is the "test" mule between the CPM 154 and the Cru forge V.
Pretty cool!

They really should remove all the time frame references from the website, but I suppose that would result in even more calls from customers.

It's obvious Guy is doing other things, definitely not the starters. The problem certainly is not because he is the only one that can sharpen. I would think if Guy wanted to, he could sharpen 100 blades before lunch. I don't doubt that the knives are coming, just with a longer than anticipated wait.

I think that Guy is doing a lot more than just sharpening the knives that leave his shop.Well, you say 100 in jest but no reason as to why not about 10-15 a day, putting the fulfillment output in the range of 50 - 75 units per week!

At the very least he is doing the peened finish and laser etching as well, and he has been talking about texturing scales as well.
His famous attention to detail shows in the final product.
