Re: Change scales on Paramilitary 2

Hi Jim, I’d be happy to do that for you for free if you’re willing to pay the shipping costs. I’ve done dozens of scale swaps on that model and several others. If you’re game, let me know here in this thread and I’ll send you an email with my address. Cheers, Radioactive

Re: Chaparral

The recent GB2 exclusive is in Cruwear, so there’s at least one Taichung model that’s used that steel. I’d love to see basically any new Chap variant, whatever the flavor of steel or handle. As many folks have pointed out, aftermarket scale options are pretty good for this model, plus there’s always...

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2

Excitedly went to my mailbox Saturday to pick up mine that USPS delivered mid-afternoon, only to discover they delivered into someone else’s mailbox. Left a note for the mail person to try to track it down, but my guess is someone else might be enjoying it now. Please be on the lookout for anyone tr...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Received a new Dice from RamZar yesterday (thanks buddy!) and installed my old Steve Ketchen desert ironwood scale back onto it. Now the pair is reunited “and it feels so good”! BTW the Domino is a glorious knife, and has always been one of my favorite EDC carries. It might be due time for a sprint ...

Re: Chaparral

A marbled or crosscut CF Chap would be amazing! I hope there are more Chaps on the horizon, it’s such a great design and now nearly completely dominates my office carry.

The star map on his knife is the Scorpius constellation. Also, I’m pretty sure his first name is Przemek.

Re: Your Favorite Slysz Design And Why

https://i.imgur.com/RVyufJK.jpeg My Slysz family (original releases). My favorite is the Bowie followed by the SpydieChef. The Swayback and Technos are also great, and I carry all these regularly. Certainly didn’t take Nick Shabazz to convince me how awesome the Bowie was, I made up my own mind on ...

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

The sticker refers to the Slysz Bowie being (in many people’s opinion) the Spyderco GOAT (greatest of all time).

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?

I can think of at least 5 aftermarket scale makers who make titanium scales for the PM2, several of which make or have made fluted scales of one type or another. I know some of them are working on Military 2 scales as well. Not one of these makers offer what Spyderco made, which is a full Ti handle...

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?

There has not been a Ti PM2 yet. There was a fluted Ti PM2 prototype that “escaped” the Golden factory years ago. I have pics of it on my computer at home and will post them later when I track them down. Obviously the model never made it into production but given they made at least one go of it, I’...

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?

I like where mikey177 was going with the 50th anniversary being the golden one, and Golden certainly seems like the most fitting factory to make this commemorative model. I also like what Coastal was saying with it being a newish or new model — so I’ll throw out the option for a fluted Ti Military 2...

The C50 is a Centofante. A 50th Anniversary knife commemorating Spyderco and this huge achievement, plus a nod to one of their great collaborators, masters in their own right plus a tribute to how much Sal has been able to pull makers like Frank C. and many others in to express themselves with Sal’s...

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

“Nothing special” yet longtime users and some CC members like myself who’ve had the option to try basically every model Spyderco’s ever made say that it might be the best model they ever put out (some of us did buy them long before they were discontinued too). Apparently the truth is somewhere in th...

May I ask where you got yours? I preordered on BHQ last year and I haven't heard peep!
He has one because he’s the president of the company. They haven’t been released to market yet. I’m sure you’ll read about it here on the forum when it drops. Cheers, Radioactive
