Art is on vacation. https://eseeknives.com/forums/index...d-by-cops-outside-california-taco-bell.12232/ That may be the hold up for the CR3.0.
I've seen some smoking deals on CR2.5 on the secondary market...I almost bought one the other day for $60 bucks NEW. I'd put that in the drift boat and leave it for that...still one of my favorite and most fielded blades....
I'm certain it would become a(the?) favorite of mine as well, but that extra .5" of blade seems too nice to have. I'm sure I'll pull the trigger on a CR2.5 before it's over with.
