Looks great! But, from a user perspective, I kinda like the Copper and Clad S30V version myself. 154CM is a great steel, but I prefer the toughness of S30V. And, it's less than half the price.

I really need to finally getting around to ordering a G-10/S35VN version through the custom shop; which is still really reasonable for an S30V folder at $90 as I have mine laid out. I really love the basic 420HC/silver aluminum with green backspacer version I have. G-10 is gripper, better when cold; and I'm really a big fan of CPM-S35VN (and Buck's 420HC). Buck really has a good recipe with the Spitfire. Have inexpensive variants for general retail sale, but also variants with better handle material and steel for those with more discerning taste.

Thanks Cody for your input / insight. I looked at C&C, but didn't see a 'copper' 722 with S30V. I did see the brown, which almost looks copperish. The BOTM is solid copper and is a limited 'custom build'...which of course, hikes the price up.

Well, that explains it then. I had originally thought the copper handles were just some type of Cerakote finish. And given the cost of copper these days....

The C&C versions are red and blue Cerakote aluminum.

That's a beautiful release for this month and Buck rarely ever uses copper. If I didn't already own two Spitfire's I'd probably grab one up.
