I still have a 4.7 2nd on order from early October. Fingers Crossed!
Awesome! Thanks for the review.. I have always been very happy with 154 from benchmade I just like how easy the 154 is to sharpen so would be curious to get my hands on the SK one.
I believe the 90 days is for factory firsts that weren't pre orders or pre sales. They have changed the timeline for the 2nds to 20-45 days, but when I ordered it was 15-30.
If you were happy with 154CM with a mass production heat treat, you'd really like the CPM-154 with a superior heat treat.
- Great review Brian! It was good of Grog to share the knife!!! Brian - of the 5 knives above which is your favorite? I get that there are different knives in the group but which do you like the best & why?This is another report on my loaner knife from Grog, bless his heart!
Glad it worked out well for you man, that's some good work to put it up to.
That's a fine looking group of knives, the Kirinite handled one looks very comfortable.

Nice comparison/review Brian!
I'm also very interested to hear which one is your favourite for skinning and other tasks.
Did you find the CPK FK to be a bit better in the skinning department than the GSO 4.7 because it's almost a full flat grind and has more of a drop point (as opposed the 4.7's spear point)??

We harvested 3 deer in muzzleloader season, and went to work today to cut them up, and grind burger. I used several knives. I used the 4.7 to separate the front and rear quarters from the body, and did some skinning and cutting. I love the handle. I also used 2 knives I made, and also my CPK Field knife. Thick is not needed and in this case, thick gets to feeling sluggish in the hand after a bit. For that reason I used the thinner knives to do the bulk of the processing once the separating was done.
It was another chance to handle and use the 4.7 for awhile, and the edge held up very well. Rear hip sockets can be hard on a blade, but his showed no sign of rolling or chipping. I will contact Grog and see where the 4.7 goes from here. I appreciate the chance to use it. Hoping for my 4.5, 6, and 12 to all arrive this year!
A couple pics as well.
