Can't find any info from Crucible about it. I'm guessing it's a variation on PSF27.

I thought so too but the catalog emphasized its stain resistance. I guess it could still have parallels with PSF27. I'm sure we will know soon!
 
Wow, amazing offerings, count me in on the Watu and Rex 45 Para 3 LW!!!
 
Standouts to me:
The Bombshell looks good, but I really like the S45VN sprint run PM2 and Para3. Texturing on the G10 is real nice. The Rex45 sprints are cool.

Larrin has an initial alloy analysis up already. Looks more like S35VN. Little less carbon, little more niobium, little less vanadium, some nitrogen, and some cobalt.

Thanks for finding this!

So it looks like Larrin expects it to have less edge-holding than the current standards, like S30V. That would have been my guess
, just looking at the ingredients. My question becomes: why? I think Spyderco already runs their S30V a bit soft. Has chipping on it (or S35VN/S45VN) been such an issue that they need to go with something tougher?

I'm guessing it's a cost savings measure. Less volume of the pricey elements in the alloy, and more importantly, probably easier to machine - so few labor hours and consumable belts used to make a blade.

We'll wait and see, I guess.
 
Don't want to complain as I see some nice stuff but nothing that really wows me. I'll probably try the SPY27 Para 3 LW as the LW is one of my favorite EDC office carries I own. Kind of wish the K390 Ladybug 3 was a DF2 instead.

Also, wonder why no LC200n on the Pac Salt 2? Doesn't look to much different than my original all black Pac Salt.
 
So many cool options. I’d like one of thos e Native Chiefs in Rex 45!
