I've looked around the web and at local retailers, but I can't find the new 154cm Grips (aside from one ebay seller selling a few 154cm minigrips)

Anyone know where to find the 154cm Grips?

Thanks!
 
I work at a knifestore(really partime for the discounts;) ) and we have had them in, My supplier is Merlows but I am not sure if they have a website or what. They are sweet in the 154 though.
 
I really don't see that much of a step up from 440C to 154CM. You can't go wrong either way.

Oh. From my limited reading here, I had thought that 154cm was at least a moderate step up from 440C. (FWIW, I am a knife knoob who EDC's a SAK and thought my Gerber Gator was a "good" knife until I found these forums)
It was my impression from discussion here and the various steel FAQs that 154cm was considered entry-level "premium" steel while 440C was viewed as somewhat pedestrian.

So, I was excited that, just as I was considering a Grip, the transition to 154cm is taking place. But I can't find the knives!
 
I ordered one about a month ago from Dad's knife shop. When it came, it was 154CM rather than the 440C advertised on the web site. That was the first indication I had that there was a change. Same price. I figured I just got a better deal.
 
I have used 440-C and 154-CM for years. They both hold an edge very well, but I have found 440-C to be easier to sharpen.
