Survive Knives GSO 5.1. Can't decide between 3V, 3V coated or CPM 20CV. Also, Hinderer XM-18 3" and maybe the ZT Emerson colab. I do have a custom Ti kneck knife on the way.
Sweet knife, congrats bro. Id go with the tumbled 3V, but where are you getting it? It looks sold out on the site to me, it always looks sold out on the site LMAO. And i dont see the 20CV option listed either???

Thanks! I'm getting it to add to my collection but more importantly because it's the one I've always wanted but keep missing the opportunity.
The GSO 5.1s are sold out. The website says They'll be available middle of March but last week it said middle of February. So far, it has been my experience that the knives go on sale around 2-4 weeks after the posted date! Guy hasn't made a 5.1 with the CPM 20CV yet but he's in love with that stainless steel and has mentioned on his FB page that he's going to offer the 5.1 in the 20CV. I expect it will be like what he did around Christmas time where they posted about 20 4.1s in 20CV up for sale and then offered the regular 3V. Anyway, to probably better answer your first question, I just want a badass camping, bushcrafting knife. I also really like finger choils. I don't mind a little maintenance here and there but I'm a big fan of convenience. I read a bunch of articles talking about the 3V pitting and what not so I was a bit wary and made my mind up to get the 20CV. Then Guy released this video the other day and made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
That withstanding, I think I still like the 20CV more than the 3V but I'm not sure. Especially when Survive now has a SIIIIICK silver coating!!! :inlove:
Most recent pic of the family. Two GSO 7/7s, both in 3V, one with a graphite coating and my 4.1 in CPM 20CV.
very cool collection. i need to eventually get one of his knives.
I really like 3V, but i dont have any issues cleaning and oiling a blade after use. My favorite steel is 52100 and it will rust like crazy if you dont take care of it... But it will also take an atom splitting edge in just a couple minutes and hold its edge like nothing else from now into infinity
My next knife purchase is a sweet one. Its from a custom maker in Poland named Giedymin. He calls this design the Forestman chopper.
When i seen it I loved it, had to have it... but the handle could use some tweaking... So after a little bit of tweaking this is what he is making for me now. Should be done in the next 2-3 weeks.

Right now just waiting on the SDK friction folder. No other knives that I'm looking at, except a Spyderco Dragonfly2 in Super Blue. Thankfully they're sold out everywhere I've been looking, at least for what I'd want to pay.
Still haven't found a Fellhoelter frikky. But that won't matter if the SDK shows up first.
