NSM Wear at 63-64 HRC. Double Black Canvas Micarta. The only batch of Chikadees stamped this way.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComing Soon: Tuesday, June 14, at Noon Central Time. \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNSM Wear is CruWear. Same steel, different name born from a legal dispute over the CruWear trademark that has since been resolved. The resolution means future Chikadees will carry the CruWear name. This batch of 16 knives will always be the ones stamped NSM Wear, which makes them the only Chikadees in existence with that marking. That is not marketing language. That is just how the timeline worked out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCruWear is a high-vanadium tool steel that combines edge retention and toughness in a way that most stainless steels cannot match. At 63-64 HRC it is on the harder end of the production knife spectrum, which translates directly to how long the edge holds before it needs attention. The blade is 2.5\" with a 2.39\" cutting edge and 0.125\" stock, ground for a 5\" overall length that makes the Chikadee a genuine front-pocket fixed blade. Double Black Canvas Micarta handles. Black leather texture Kydex sheath with a black soft loop for belt or pocket carry. Manufactured by Millit Knives in collaboration with JakebCreates. Made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote from Lone Star Knife \u0026amp; Supply: The NSM Wear story is what makes this batch specific. CruWear by any name is a steel worth carrying, and 63-64 HRC in a 2.5\" fixed blade is a combination that earns its place in an EDC kit. When the name is corrected on future batches, these 16 will be the ones that carry the moment the name was something else. That is the kind of detail that matters to people who pay attention.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Chikadee Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNSM Wear Blade — CruWear equivalent, only batch of Chikadees stamped this way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e63-64 HRC, exceptional edge retention from high-vanadium tool steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5\" blade, 2.39\" cutting edge, 0.125\" stock, 5\" OAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble Black Canvas Micarta Handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Leather Texture Kydex Sheath with Black Soft Loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMillit Knives x JakebCreates collaboration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: JakebCreates x Millit Knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Radio Silence Chikadee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Steel: NSM Wear (CruWear equivalent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHRC: 63-64\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 2.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting Edge: 2.39\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Thickness: 0.125\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Double Black Canvas Micarta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheath: Black Leather Texture Kydex with Black Soft Loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife Type: Fixed Blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: Only batch of Chikadees stamped NSM Wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Want It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Radio Silence Chikadee in NSM Wear is a compact fixed blade that carries a story.
