Questions - 7/7 and handle material

The old spec CPM steels were around 58-59 Rc.

Now that we are heat treating after production grinding, we can dial that up a bit. The CPM-3V should be around 59.5-60.5 Rc. I'm not 100% sure if that was true of the CPM-20CV or not, I will have to double check that with Guy.
 
Thank you for that information, Ellie!

Just placed my preorder for a 7/7. Went with the black canvas handles for functionality for now; I hadn't realized you could pick up extra handles that easily. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on those once production gets going.

Also, it's a really small thing, but I just wanted to say that I appreciate that on the bow drill divot and ferro notch, the choices are "Yes, please" and "No, thank you." A little politeness and old-fashioned class go a long way.

Now to settle in and enjoy the wait!

Very cool! You're going to love it.

Good call on the phrasing on the site. They rock!

I'll make sure that I don't say anything that will ruin the surprise!
 
I have a 7/7 with canvas and a 4.1 with Ghostjade G10…

I've never felt fearful of losing control with the G10 when wet.

G10 is a great handle material, especially for smaller knives like the GSO 4.1. I think we are splitting hairs here regarding handle material, but I personally like the extra grippyness of canvas when chopping,. And the 7/7 is a size that you can use it for chopping.
