Just read about it in another Forum. I double checked and unfortunately it is true:
http://www.reuters.com/article...dUSN0643068320090506

It may be too soon to know if Crucible will be able to re-organize under Chapter 11 and survive, but we have to hope it does as it is the prime supplier of specialty steels for the knife industry.

Many companies emerge from Chapter 11 just fine.

Let's hope that is the case here.

Bad news indeed, Crucible is very innovative with new steels, hopefully they will get through it.

Lets hope BM bought enough cpm-m4 to get the run of 806's out, I would hate to see the Hut revisited! Big Grin

Those were exactly my thoughts when I posted this thread: make every single model available with optional M4 or S90V steel, let's call those Bailout Editions!

I even had a knife or two in CPM D2. Some of the sharpest knives I've ever seen.

Good to know. Thanks for the post.

Hope they come out alright.

+1 on buying BKC products with their steels.
