The collector numbered knives often show up a week or two before the regular release. I bet we start seeing these very soon.Username827 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 25, 2018 1:51 pmAny leads on where this will be available. I got money to blow, before I spend it on something "I don't need" :rolleyes:

You guys realize that CF "Yojimbos" can be bought on Aliexpress ? Just saying (haven't seen that knife mentioned anywhere else but ebay) ...

Re: Yojimbo 2 CPM20CV and carbon fiber C85CF20CVP2
I don't buy from aliexpress because I want authentic, legit steel that matches the tang marking, with a quality heat treat. That said, wanted to see what it was you're referring too there. No knife results when using Yojimbo as the keyword.
It's just as well, wouldn't of given them a nickel anyway.

Ramzar does a great job, he's had number 15 listed for a while now on the "Upcoming" section

Some of us flunked lunch in high school. :cool:
In all seriousness I have read that so many times, and with all the different models, and not being sure if I would like the Yojimbo, it just never clicked.
However, I have been pricing CF scales from third parties for one of my PM2s, saw this today and realized that 2 +2=4. So there :)
PS, thank you for the info!
Re: Yojimbo 2 CPM20CV and carbon fiber C85CF20CVP2
And I'm not trying to encourage you :) just expressing lack of trust in ebay sellers, without having seen an announcement of the knife in some store, as one usually does long before the release.Chris_P_Bacon wrote: ↑Wed Apr 25, 2018 7:06 pmI don't buy from aliexpress because I want authentic, legit steel that matches the tang marking, with a quality heat treat.
Hopefully Ramzar can chime in with a source for CF Yojimbo information.Chris_P_Bacon wrote: ↑Wed Apr 25, 2018 7:06 pmThat said, wanted to see what it was you're referring too there. No knife results when using Yojimbo as the keyword.

BTW, in all seriousness and for the experts: what was the last Spyderco 20CV folder, or would this one be the first ?
Thanks,

Really? Are you advocating for fakes on a Spyderco forum? Or am I simply reading your post wrong?

Just got an in stock notification from DLT.....Ordered!
Re: Yojimbo 2 CPM20CV and carbon fiber C85CF20CVP2
On the fence with this one. Already have the S90V. This is such a great knife. CF with 20CV, these will probably go quickly.

Re: Yojimbo 2 CPM20CV and carbon fiber C85CF20CVP2
I want want, but the price is kinda high and the risk of it being seized coming into Canada is also high...

Re: Yojimbo 2 CPM20CV and carbon fiber C85CF20CVP2
Not a chance at that price. Shame too as I was looking forward to it. This year is becoming the worst buying year for me ever when it comes to Spyderco. Only 2 left for the whole year I would consider. Kind of sad, but the anticipation with what’s coming next is half the fun.
Re: Yojimbo 2 CPM20CV and carbon fiber C85CF20CVP2
Has anyone seen this Yojimbo2 CPM-20CV CF JB Outman (USA) at a dealer other than DLT Trading (eBay excluded)?

Re: Yojimbo 2 CPM20CV and carbon fiber C85CF20CVP2
I'm pretty sure we paid like $245 for the first S90V/CF version, the price isn't great but could be worse.

Re: Yojimbo 2 CPM20CV and carbon fiber C85CF20CVP2
Is the carbon fiber on this one the same as the Caly 3.5 ZDP? As in, glass smooth?

Re: Yojimbo 2 CPM20CV and carbon fiber C85CF20CVP2
I obtained one of the OTS Yojimbo 2 CF 20CV and was surprised to find an obvious visible (and palpable) flaw. It appearead as a dark stripe on the front scale from the middle to the end, and also toward the pivot screw. Shifting the scale in hand made the contrast really "jump out," just like CF shimmers when shifted in the light. A fingertip or thumbtip can feel the depth and roughness of the stripe
It looks like one of the surfacing passes with an end mill had gone a bit deeper than the other passes, and was too deep to be removed when surface-ground to finish. Unlike with most factory-second Spydercos with flaws undiscoverable on close inspection, a non-knife friend spotted the stripe from ten feet away without prompting. The good news is the vendor will likely replace the knife, though I did have to pay ten bucks for the return.
My other Yo2 in this configuration has superb fit and finish. Exemplary.
Here are some pics of the problem child, as well as comparison pics of other CF and non-CF scales to try and get at least a visual reference of comparative smoothness incl. smooth G10.
Top to bottom, smooth CF Cricket, Yojimbo2 CF, PM2 with PP CF (154/S90V version):
T-to-B, Delica smooth CF, Yo2 CF (no stripe), PM2 PP CF
T-to-B, Native natural(jade) textured G10, Native smooth G10, Yo2 CF
For today's carry, (and with the upcoming Caly Jr sprint) I noticed one of my Calypso Jr FRNs was an oddball (two years out of sync). I'll have to check the Micartas to see if I have one similar, where one might not be surprised by a "transitional" such version.
kind regards,
a n.on
