Any upcoming Paramilitary 2-M390 runs??

#1

Post by Mike51772 »

Just wondering if anyone knows if there will be any Paramilitary 2 with M390 blade steel runs pcoming up?

I know Bento Box and DLT have had these sprint runs in the past. Unfortunately, I missed out. Hope something else is coming up.

I'd trade my Bento Box PM2 M390 for a Manix 2 M390, straight across. :)

Nothing official but I really think DLT is working on another round of the Red M390 PM2s. I don't understand why it isn't regular production in at least 204P or 20CV

Just wondering what makes you think that?

Given how fast they sell out, any retailer with an exclusive m390 pm2 _should_ be ordering more. It would be a very silly business move not to do that.

I've come to admire M390 which was recently released in the Para 3 Bento edition. I had thought that M390 was already offered for the Paramilitary 2, but I could be mistaken. My favorite steels at this point are CPM s110v, M390, CTS-XHP and CPM 20CV. Yes, I am stainless ho.
Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:

Someone said this maybe just the company getting up hype but I'm not sure why they would bother if they don't plan on offering more of these.

From the site:
Will you ever get a batch of these M390 steel PM2's in again?

ANSWER: It was intended as a one run and done project, but I would recommend signing up for email alerts on the product page in case any more become available. http://www.dlttrading.com/spyderco-para ... m390-blade

Thanks, - DLT TRADING

I was told by “Mr BentoBox Shop” that is is POSSIBLE another batch of blue G10 M390 Paramilitary 2’s could be released (but alas no definitive plans). We all know, and I’m sure BBS does too, that they would all sell out in a heartbeat if that did happen. One can only hope that all these people who already own multiple pieces of that variant would chill out and let those who don’t have one to get them first, but of course if it does happen the scalpers will be hittin’ dem switches all over eBay 😑. Also, what with the effort being expended in Golden toward dealing with the Maxamet variant’s issues, and the effort in putting out other sprints/exclusives/regular production of all models, one has to wonder how much is left for a variant that has already seen more than one run. Here’s to hoping!
My collection so far: 52100 Military (2); 52100 PM2 (2); 52100 Para3; Stretch2 V-Toku; KnifeWorks M4 PM2; BentoBox M390 PM2; BentoBox S90V Military; Police4 K390; S110V PM2; SS Delica AUS-6; Wayne Goddard Sprint VG-10
Wish list: Hundred Pacer; Sliverax; Mantra; 52100 PM2 SE; Kapara

I really hope we see another m390 run in the PM2. Hopefully one day in peel ply carbon fiber. But hey, I would buy a m390 PM2 in hot pink if that was the only color offered! :)

The secondary market prices on PM2-M390’s is pretty crazy! I managed to get a good deal on a brand new Bento Box one off eBay. With the 15% off deal that eBay had going that day, I got it for $212. But I’ve been looking for a few months now for one and this was the first time I’ve come across one o could get at a reasonable price. Even used ones are priced ridiculous! I talked to a guy that wanted close to $300 for his well-used, tiny nic in blade knife that he’d put a custom deep carry clip on in a God awful electric blue color that made it look like a knife carried by a street pimp! lol

Having had my BBS Para 3 for the past few weeks, and actually carrying it today...M390 is no joke. I came into it thinking, "it can't be THAT much different from even S30V" Boy...was I wrong. When I got it was quite sharp, ran it across my UF stones a few times and it was insanely, scary sharp. Haven't had an edge quite like it before. This steel runs circles around my S30V's and hasn't even required a touch up the past few weeks with some medium use. I'm strictly a stainless guy (besides my Delica Pakkawood with HAP40) so I don't know how it fares against Maxamet/M4/52100/CruWear, but I'm insanely impressed with M390 and will probably grab another knife that has it, if I can find one!

I have 2x M390 PM2s. But now that I have the new CRUWEAR, one of them is going to a new home. M390 is still my favorite steel.

Lot of words, but no pictures? That doesn't make any sense...

I assume he means the red Para2.

We have had runs in M390 and 204P. I think it is time for a run in 20CV. :)
