Thank you Evil D for both your answer about if the knife is still made and the difference in the H1 and H2 blade steels, realy glad i was able to but my spiderco autonmy with the H2 LC200N blade steel.

A friend asked me about my Spyderco Autonomy Auto Knife i keep seeing it's out of stock on Spyderco's Web site. Being a big fan of auto knives i have other brands, but the Spyderco Autonomy with it's LC200N blade steel, and it's smooth button operation with a blade lock is the auto knife i really li...

For me with the PM2 that Sal's son designed will always be up there with the greatest knife Designers.

The reason i started this thread is the first pocket knife i bought at a local firearm show, was a small Kershaw Blackout until a few years ago i had no idea who Ken Onion was and had been involved with the knifes design. Then when i started working in a local sporting goods store, selling knives i ...

Was it the shape of the blade that caused it to be dropped?

My PM2 is my EDC you just can't beat the one handed closing and it's great blade design.

I would return it quickly if you can.

I have found that Hoppe's Blast and Shine is a super cleaner, it cleans and dry's quickly why defer the knifes warranty and maybe damage the knife.
Just what i do others need to do what they think is best.

I carry my PM2 more then any of my other knives, it's great one handed opening and closing cannot be beat.

Thank you Kristy.

Sixty four years ago one of the dumbest knife laws the United States ever got passed (*EDITED*) The Switchblade act of 1958. Even as many states have today made buying selling and shipping these Auto Knives, we must still understand there still on the Federal books as not legal for non law enforceme...

What i noticed is when John Wick used a Microtech Auto in his first movie knife fighting scene, Microtech was bombed with orders for the knife.
This shows how the media gets things moving quickly.
What i also can't understand is how quickly they drop a knife, even when it's demand is still great.

Many large dealers attend the major knife shows, and when they see a new knife they place orders for them they post it on their web sites and wam bam we place our order.
Spyderco attends these shows and it has paid off very well for everyone makers sellers and buyers.

I have read where people have waited 7 to 12 years for a Randal Knife from the factory.
But they are told go to a major fire arm or knife show, find a Randal dealer they have the knife, but it will cost from 25 to 50% more.

If the Mfg. can get it to one of the large knife shows, it will sure help getting it out to the buying public.

My Burple cpm S-110 unlocks very easy and blade rolls out very smoothly.

When buying a knife online stick with the vendors who have a good track record, and are trusted by many forum members.

It's the magic of marketing me thinks.

Started working at a sporting goods store that sold them.

Thank you both for your quick answers, my PM2 with cpm s35vn is my EDC and it's a great knife.
Just looking forward to it in s45vn.
