That Para 3 is nice! Just got a Manix2 in Cruwear.
Cruwear is such a great steel. It’s just about as easy to sharpen as S30v and hold a fine edge almost twice as long. K390 is also great. It holds a coarse edge forever and paired with the thinner Seki city geometry it just keeps cutting
Cruwear is near stainless so that's why it wins in my book. Living in the south I've seen D2 rust on shelves in outdoors stores.
K390 and cruwear are my favorite steels. Cruwear is on my beater knife, but i also carry a dragonfly in k390 for more precision cutting. I don't think i could pick one as my favorite though
Have no experience with cru-wear but I can say that I absolutely love my endura in k-390. I absolutely love that it takes a toothy edge, many people I feel like don’t realize the meaning of toothy edge, that’s really what you want for most edc needs like cutting tags off t-shirts etc. and yes it strops back amazingly well! I personally don’t mind the fact that it’s not a stainless steel. Only other knife steel I have that even close to the edge retention is my pm2 in s110v which is a nightmare to deal with and doesn’t hold an edge as k-390
I am getting a K390 delica wharf as my dedicated cardboard cutter
no steel is perfect, better to have more knives
The blade looks wicked cool
Just got the Micarta handle Cruware PM2, used to have it before i lost it, was my favorite knife for a long time, i wonder if now after using some of the other stuff it will still feel the same.
K390 is by far, to ME; a better super steel… yes, I said; by FAR!
Under testing, Seki City K390 outperforms Golden K390.
CruWear is a lot more resistant to corrosion compared to D2. Still not stainless, but better.
I tend to use D2 as the benchmark as Crucible created Cruwear as a replacement for D2 and it’s one of the few Semi-Stainless steels that a lot of people have heard of. I will say it depends on the quality of the D2 I have a blade that my dad made in D2 no rust after 3 years while some of my cruwear blades are getting spots and some of my cruwear blades are spotless while some of my D2 is spotted. I would give an edge to cruwear though and that is most likely due to the CPM process.
Oh yes, most definitely! CPM process gives you better structure and improves the steel in every way. And yes, D2 is also very inconsistent. I have the same observations! @@allthingsknives
Hey Fletcher, I bought Spyderco manbug K390
Had to zoom in to see if you were talking about cruwear or cpm cruwear these are definitely two very different steels
Refer too Dr.Fletch 🤔 I’ll read Dr. Larrin’s information on steel😊👍🏻
DLT still has the purple cruwear all black hardware for $180 ish. Seki city is the was too go. Ok?
I’d say k390 is ran harder. Imo. Ok?
I don't know about K 390 but CruWear is so bad for me I don't carry that Native 5 (my favorite knife) at all. Rex 45 and S110V are really good.
I’d say k390 is tougher 🤷♂️both are great steels. Ok?
Cruwear is way tougher wdym
@@SunGodLuffy_5 You are correct, my mistake 😅 I don’t know what I was thinking about when I texted that 🤔 guess my TH-cam handle applies to me 😄
@@DuhYaThink you're good. Maybe you mixed up edge retention and toughness
@@SunGodLuffy_5 Think you are right. I have Dr.Larrin’s info screen shot and must have mixed it up. 👍🏻Merry Christmas bud, and a happy and healthy New Year to you and yours.
@@DuhYaThink Thank you. Merry Christmas to you as well 😁
