the cruware, also consider 52100 and forcing a patina.

BHQ has the PM2 DLC S30V for $149.47

Seems to me that the PM2 "Blackout" (S30V/DLC) would be the ideal "Silhouette" version. S90V doesn't really thrill me but I'm sure the S90V/CF version would be nice too. https://i.imgur.com/Obmm3mh.jpg You may be right, I did order one yesterday, very affordable, certainly a gre...

I would have, but I'm sensing no Maxemet movement on that front. You are right, this would be the ultimate.

Very nice collection!!!

I have the 52100 PM2 and I really love it, the forced patina is very beautiful with the CF scales, I also love the 52100 edge, it feels a lot like my CF Para 3 and Military S90V edge. Regarding a black DLC S90V my Yojimbo's edge is something to behold.

I have recently come to the conclusion that the PM2 is the perfect knife, to the point of thinking it's silhouette is the perfect icon for all knives, that said I now want what might be called "The Silhouette", which would be: black DLC, carbon fiber S90V.

Back when I signed up to get in line for this release, I had just come into the understanding of how great of a design the PM2 is, and I really love S90V, seemed like a no brainer to get in line. Now that I am understanding why the PM2 is the perfect knife, I will be stepping out of line, even if it...

There is something about the beauty of M390 fit and finish that is tremendously complemented by the blue, I don't know if I can explain it, but they are quite stunning together.

Choices.

Great answer! Freedom and choice are thee most important.

There's still 8 knives in the catalog that use CF/G10 laminate and at least 3 in the mid-year catalog that aren't released yet. More unrealized hopes. I would love to hear from folks who would not buy a knife because of CF laminate. That wouldn't be me :) I have several knives with CF/G10 laminate ...

Marketing is tricky business, mistakes are always made, CF laminate probably was one of those moments, hope we don't see it ever again.

I have the CF PPT, beautiful knife, but the thing is paper weight heavy, not sure how much more a Ti frame would have cost, the beauty of the shredded CF sculpted s...

Amen to the m390!

So refreshing to hear people are still caring for one another.

October 31st Would be a great release date for this.

I also have the BB Para 3 M390, one of my top 5's of my thirty Spyderco's. I would pay the $47.00 extra.

I was wondering how others were liking Rex 45. Thanks Deadboxhero! I was surprised how much more I enjoy Rex 45's edge compared to the Hap40 Lum Chinese Folder, but then it seems all the Para 2's & 3's edges are my favs (Maxamet, Cruware, S90V, M390). Maybe blade geometry?

Recently expanded collection to include a couple of fixed blades, The Sprig and a Maxamet Mule, I was a bit surprised by the small bevel on both, nothing like the edges on my Paramilitary 2's and 3's, is this typical of fixed blades? If so why?

What are your priorities in a steel? Sometimes minute differences in the steel composition make for incredibly different steels. As an EDC steel, CTS XHP is one of my personal favorites and Cruwear is right there with it. Good balance of being easy enough to sharpen while having good enough toughne...
