Which CPK are you carrying today?

Thanks man. I love Cruware and have run it on a bunch of knives. Zero experience w/ 15v.

I've got a pm2 in z wear (basically the same as cruwear) and then a 15v pm2 and millie 2.

The 15v holds an edge forever, cruwear isn't in the same league, but the edge doesn't strop back as easily as cruwear. Cruwear bounces back to razor sharp so easily, it's one of my favorite qualities about it. I seldom need to sharpen it if I just keep it stropped up.

15v is closer to something like s90v, but way better in my opinion. In my experience, it seems to be tougher than s90v; it doesn't chip in the same situations that s90v would. I prefer sharpening 15v over s90v, it's easier and takes a finer edge, but I don't find either to be too much of a pain with diamond stones.

The one spot s90v beats 15v in my book is corrosion resistance. However, that's the least important quality in most knives I carry because of where I live. If that's something that's a large factor in your blade selection, then s90v might be better for you.

Hope that's helpful.

Appreciated my brother ! With the rumored possibility of 15v going away, I was thinking on grabbing some. Perhaps I’ll just buy gun parts.🤔

Regardless, D3V is all we really need. 😝

Can't go wrong either way. If you'd like, I can send you my pm2 in 15v to try out for a month or two. Dm me and we can work out the details.

Much appreciated ! I’ll DM you after I get a few more deck posts prepped. Maybe we can come up with/ a folder or steel you haven’t tried yet, also. (probably not though, since your such a COK). 🤷🏻
