Case CPM20CV

[Rotten]

I saw the Case S35VN knives online and though it's a definite upgrade from Trusharp S35VN just doesn't get me excited.

While I was cruising around Shepherd Hills site the other day I ran across this.

SH didn't have any so I went looking and found them at Deadwood. Of all the supersteels I love CPM20CV and have dreamed of a custom with it for the blades but my knife budget isn't that big. Out of the box the knife is tight with no wobble and good w&t and very little spring gap that you really have to search for to find. After I got the burr off the blades they all cut very smoothly and it will be a while before I put my edge on it. Oh yeah, full flat grind on all blades.

Right now it's only available in the 18 and 54 pattern but I really hope they expand the range a bit and include a 75 at least.

Speaking of S35VN, I was perusing Blade magazine at Barnes & Noble today and saw this ad just inside the cover.
