:thumbup: Great idea for the C42 revival !C42 Viele Sprint.
All I really want an PM2 sprint with CPM-M4. Maybe with those fluted CF scales? Or maybe titanium compression frame lock. You know, just simple things.
C42 Viele Sprint. Damasteel blade (VG-10 damascus is fine as well) and antique ivory linen micarta scales. It needs an improved liner lock since the original ones wore out fast (at least mine have)
Interesting idea.
There were some lock issues on earlier runs with AUS8 steel. Later runs with open back and VG10 blades the lock was improved.
Back to C42, I will not be able to resist antique ivory micarta scales (linen or paper), but damasteel or any Damascus can make things more complicated. Patterns are very different. So I would keep the blade plain satin VG10. At least no surprises there.
