Heck yeah they have! I ordered one too. This will be my first Delica. I will now have a CTS-XHP Para2, Dodo, and now the Hap40 Delica in orange! :cool:

Guys, these are back in stock at cutlery shoppe! I tried to get one yesterday but they were gone. Checked back this morning and they're back in!! Snagged one while I could :)

Orange Dodo should be here any time now!! Managed to score one for a good price so I jumped on it :)

I've found this to be true as well. Due to the design of PM2, the stop pin can muck up the stepped pivot "bushing" if it is too tight. But I've also found that messing with it can screw it up much more than waiting for the knife to break in properly. Yeah, that's the plan as of right now....

I didn't know if mine was supposed to be like that from the factory. My PM2 is not that loose, and I don't want it to be. If I'm closing the PM2 by hold...

Great I will keep that in mind! Thanks again. Based on my initial impressions I have a feeling that this won't be my last PM2!! I am a service engineer for a medical device company, and I have a feeling that this blade will get a ton of use here at work. :)

Excellent, thanks a lot for the replies! Yeah it's not like "alarmingly" tight, just a bit stiff. Before trying any sort of lubricant, I will just play with it a bit and hopefully it should break in. The reason I asked is because I saw videos online of other owners, who's PM2's blades swun...

Hey Guys, I wasn't sure where to post this, so please move/delete if it doesn't belong here. My name is JP, and I am the proud new owner of a PM2 in S110V! I recently got into EDC folding knives, and a friend told me that the PM2 was a must-have, so I decided to pull the trigger. I did some research...
