I talked with Roger yesterday in the morning and asked him about the color. He said that per Spyderco it will be the same G10, which was used on Lil T. This will be the best Para for me.

If it's the same color as the Lil'Temp, that'll really be an interesting Para 2! Not a very common G-10 color, IMO.

Interesting that the retail price is lower than that of a blacked out para2.

I'm guessing it's because you aren't a USA mailing address, hope you can get that worked out! I got my 2 ordered (using AMEX, not PayPal).
Which Knife, A or B? get Both! (and C, D and E) :)

I (hopefully) got on the list, probably wont be a problem, a great friend helped me.....an shortly afterwards pulled the trigger on a CF military M390.......My wallet hates me...I was considering the Blue Para, though I think I might not like the blue scales once in hand, but when the military came up....looked the other way as my hand said sure.....on its way

That green seems to have a blue/grayish tint to it in the pictures of the Lil'temp. Is that true in person?

I was hoping the shade of green would be more kelly/hunter and it is. Preorder placed!

No, I have several LT's and it is a true dark green. In certain light it may seem to have a touch of gray or blue.

Having pre-ordered one, I'm now thinking about adding a second.

add-> If any member of the forum from outside the country needs help to get one of these contact me and I'll follow Donut's example and order the second for you. You must have joined the forum before 2012.

Reading that a lot of people will be buying 2, I kinda regret only getting 1. Idk if I want to use it, I`d use it like I use my normal Para2, but thinking about how popular they wil be on the second hand marked... mhh. I gotta decide that once I see the color in person. I can always save the Dodo for resale.

So many good knives this year, so little money...

I bought two of the S90V and two of the 20CP, but at some point...so just one of the blue, orange and this green one. :D Your last sentence is right on target, sadly.

From Knifeworks:

" Knifeworks Exclusive Limited run of 800. We will probably only get around 700 Pieces after the collectors club are shipped. 325 pieces are sold as of 02/17/2012."

These are going fast! Let's see if they will sell out faster than the 12 days it took the Cutlery Shoppe Orange XHP. Better get while the goings are good.
