Reveal 11: Manix 2 in 15V sprint run

[R.Watkins]

Manix 2 in 15V coming soon according to Knife Center:

https://www.knifecenter.com/listing/spyderco-reveal-11

All of my dreams are coming true. Now if we can get the same for the Native 5 and I’ll be set.
I’m also looking forward to the Stretch2 sprint in Cruwear and that Lil’ Native wharnie is cute.

What are the expectations with 15v?

The new reveal has some interesting knives (and prices) I'm excited about the 15V Manix 2 Sprint Run! https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/de...Brown-G-10-CPM-15V-reg-Sprint-Run-trade-/2344

Me too just saw that I’m on it when released!!

AWH HELLLL YEAH!

This is likely the only way ill actually get my hands on some of DeadboxHero 's handy work.

Well according to Larrin, 15V has outstanding edge retention at the expense
of toughness and corrosion resistance. I’m guessing performance similar to maxamet but it doesn’t show up often so I’ve never used it.

CPM-15V is the highest vanadium tool steel available, but metallurgists actually explored all the way up to CPM-20V. How extreme can we go?

Looks like it'll sell out quick, get flipped for a few months, then die down (I might buy one during the die down period lol).

How about that 300$ stretch XL huh? I've never had a knife boner die down so fast lol...

I also had a strange feeling when I got my REX76 Mule and it said made in Taiwan...

Anyway, nothing negative, just...strange feeling

$300 stretch XL? When was it released?

What are the expectations with 15v?

Five more Vs than 10v, although it's something of a rip-off because for less money, you can get twice the Vs as 15V with Spyderco's S30V. They think we're not smart enough to see through their game, BUT WE DO.

Not yet. They're on Preorder over at KnifeCenter.

 

[Hvactech]

I'm excited about it as well. I wonder when it will be released?

I also said this: "However, if you compare with some popular stainless PM grades like 20CV/M390 you may be surprised that 15V toughness is not lower than it is. This makes sense given that both 15V and M390 have a similar volume of carbide, so their toughness is also similar."

The "S" shrinks the effects of the "V"

I did notice that but I didn’t want to get too detailed and out of my depth. The graph put it pretty close to Maxamet (which also has better wear resistance) so I didn’t think that was worth mentioning. It is good to know that it should be adequate for edc usage. I’m excited to try it out.

"The full-flat-ground, satin-finished blade of this knife is further enhanced by a specialized heat-treating protocol developed by acclaimed custom knifemaker Shawn Houston."

Congrats, man! That's cool.

 

[Blade Lab]

That said ... I don't see a 15v on the preorder page?

 

[R.Watkins]

It was listed but they removed it for some reason. Maybe they had the wrong price? $157 seems a little low for such an exotic steel. I was expecting Maxamet prices.

 

[Dergyll]

I'm pretty sure all the pre-order slots were filled very quickly. I could be wrong

$284.55- That really is a STRETCH

Since the new Stretch XL is $110 more than the the US made “Crucarta” PM2 that I purchased last year…hard pass.
