POLL: SURVIVE! EDC-4 Preorder Promotion. Would you participate?

[Tixx]

Shit, I might have to get a little more S90V... I was just going to be testing it mostly but if some of you want one, I'm inclined to make it happen. Let me see what I can do.

Man...may have to hop on that!

[michaelm466]

I'd definitely want an CPM-S90V version as well!!

 

[BITEME]

I'm all in for an s90v as well,that's awesome.....

 

[orchunter93]

This was a great thread set up! and some S90V would be sick!!!

Keep experimenting and I know that you will have no shortage of people getting your stuff when you are offering awesome products at these kinds of prices!!

Keep up the good work brother!

 

[JPate]

Interested in the three inch design you have in mind. Might make for a good EDC blade for utility purposes as well as last ditch defensive use.

 

[mete]

I might as well put my two cents in LOL. It might be nice to get one with a stabilized ,figured ,hard maple handle !! LOL

 

[longbeard]

Or a wood like Arizona Desert Ironwood or Cocobolo that doesn't need any stabilization. Just a thought. A natural wood handle would satisfy a good number of woods users.

I'd pull the trigger on 1 of each steel, what does the tang look like on these under the handle scales?

Make some in 4V for testing of course, I will immediately order a third knife and all my steeljunky needs are satisfied

one in M390
one in 3V
one in 4V

:tears_of_joy:

One can always dream :sneakiness:

C'mon gso-7 3V! Big bucks no whammies!

Guy, I would like to know how far you with the GSO-4.1? Like to see some real life pictures. Cant wait till mine CPM-3V version is in the mailbox!

I think Guy has given us a status:

The M-390 is already at a facility, waiting to be cut into knife blanks. I ordered three sheets of CPM-3V from the mill yesterday and those sheets should be shipping out tomorrow, to the facility where they will be cut.

 

[Ruudr]

thanks!

 

[underdog406]

It's been only like 5 days since the preorder ended and I'm already starting to feel edgy from the waiting....oh dear....

You have to learn to supplement with other knives during the wait.

 

[SURVIVE!]

Ok, so all of the steel is now ordered. I ended up getting the M-390, CPM-3V and a sheet of CPM-S90V. All of that steel will be cut into roughly 700 knives, sometime next week. Then our first production stop will be Peter's Heat Treating. We learned a LOT regarding ideal production work flow during the GSO-10 run, so this GSO-4.1 run should go quite a bit faster. HERE WE GO!

 

[Ruudr]

Youhou! Can't wait!!!

As for what the designed GSO 4.1 will do, Google "puukko" and see what is routinely done with 1/8" rat-tail-tanged, fairly simple carbon steel. With decent technique, I am betting the GSO 4.1 will be a workhorse knife in any of the three steels being offered, and do so without raising a sweat.

If cinder block is your game -- maybe a sledge hammer is good. 0___0
