Purchasing a fake PM2 for research purposes

[paladin]

Dude that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid. Why go through that hassle when I could just tinker around with a $15 replica?

Anyways, thanks to previous answers, I'm not going to go this route anymore. I'll pick up a "tinkerer" at the seconds sale.

Picking up an authentic Spyderco factory second is an OUTSTANDING idea for your purposes. I wish you well on your endeavor! :) :spyder: :)

Hi Cogito,

We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to try to stop counterfeits. Dollars that our customer ends up paying for in the prodeuct because thieves are steeling our company, products, designs, trademarks, etc. By supporting them, you hurt us.

When SAL speaks, I listen! The thought will not cross my mind again, sir! Thank you for making such wonderful products! I love them!

Thanks! I should have thought of this sooner. I'm glad this board is available to straighten me out. Cheers.

Not to hijack, but are 2 torx bits needed to adjust the PM2 pivot? Or just 1 bit? T10 right?

The seconds idea is great! Prob is you might buy a couple dozen extras :). Have fun!

Dude I'm hoping to get at least 5 PM2s. So excited.

This is the best conclusion to this thread! Well done, you will not be disapointed. If Spyderco was close by I would be buying up boxes of 2nds to fill in all the nooks and crannies not already filled up by the other Spydercos. :D

You must have a shedload of nooks and crannies, then.

I have a Cruwear Millie that Darby picked up for me at the seconds sale last year. It has become my most carried knife. There is a little slop in the detent but the detent is quite strong and very safe feeling. Aside form that it is pretty much like a brand new Millie. It was $70 if I'm not mistaken!! Yeah, I'd be camping out if I was there! haha
