+1 that's it. Enjoy the PM2, I was surprised how much I like it when I started carrying it.

Re: To the Hunters on Here

Pocketzen, for processing game I like an edge that has some bite. A fine polished edge will tend to just slide on hair and hide. To check for bite get some manila rope from Lowe's or a hardware store and do some cutting. If you get the edge right it will cut clean and leave a shiny side to the cut ...

Re: To the Hunters on Here

I like about 15 on each side. This give me a fine enough edge for good cutting, but still durable enough in case I encounter bone, debris in hair, etc. I have also used 20 per side. I cannot say what grit on the SB as I do not have a knife in that steel. Thanks Doc Dan. That is helpful. I appreciat...

To the Hunters on Here

I was lucky enough to draw a Cow Elk tag for this fall and will be going out for the first time. I am super excited. I plan to take my Spyderco Super Blue Stretch and either my CruWear or Super Blue Mule. My Question is, What type of edge do you like on your hunting knife? - What Grit do you stop at...

Re: BHQ Paramilitary 2 CPM M4 Exclusive.

I think 1200 would certainly sell and it would put a damper on early flipping even though they're selling at a relatively low price, since it would saturate the market more and give more potential buyers to a chance to avoid flippers. It would also dilute the feeding frenzy and take some pressure o...

Re: BHQ Paramilitary 2 CPM M4 Exclusive.

Just saw a Facebook post by Blade HQ announcing a dealer exclusive Paramilitary 2 with CPM M4 blade and jade G10 handle. I don't remember seeing anything about this, so as far as I can tell this is news. Thanks Able Dog! I have been interested in a M4 PM2 since I bought my M4 Manix2. I was a little...

The first time I sharpen a factory edge I start with the courses grit possible. Why? Simply, the edge was ground at the factory with a belt grinder. I sharpen by had with flat stones. It has been my experience that the first time I sharpen I am still reshaping the edge. Some areas of the factory edg...

M4 PM's been requested the most for years on the forums now. They know and I have no doubt that they'll come through someday. I have this anxiety though that when it finally does come its gonna be so sought after that many will be left out. I hope its at least 1200 pieces (the max they do) or even ...

Haven't heard anything. I think an M4 para2 is long overdue though :D For sure! I am surprised that we haven't had more M4 sprints. I would probably ditch my other PM2 exclusive after. A Grey CPM Cruwear Para2 would be nice to go with my millie. M4 or s110v would also be cool and very popular. Some...
