Merry Christmas! Paramilitary II in Maxamet dropping all over the place
Merry Christmas! Paramilitary II in Maxamet dropping all over the place
Thank you Spyderco for continuing this delightful model! I have owned about 120 Spydies over the past 20 years, in many steels. This has them all beat for edge retention.
Was just able to snag a backup PM2 Maxamet up today.
This has been my EDC since it was new, and is now my favorite PM2, and my single favorite EDC!
Merry Christmas everyone.

In and now out of stock at DLT.
Re: Merry Christmas! Paramilitary II in Maxamet dropping all over the place
Not really dropping all over the place???
I got the email from DLT around 10 a.m. and didn't find it until about 5 hours later. Of course they were oos when I went to their website. Then visited Knifeworks, Knife Center, Cutlery Shoppe, Knives Plus, and National Knives and they did not have them either ... so I don't think the dropping all over the place is accurate and I wonder if DLT found a couple that were misplaced in the warehouse????
There is so much to spend your money on and if these aren't going to be produced in numbers sufficient so retailers can have them in stock most of the time, then I'm going to give up on this spyderco game and spend the money elsewhere. Better take my money when I'm offering it... because someone else will!
I went to Amazon and purchased Makita cordless tools and car detailing equipment instead.
Think my knife collecting days are winding down.

Re: Merry Christmas! Paramilitary II in Maxamet dropping all over the place
Man. This is bad timing for me.
Been waiting on these for months and now it comes in stock....right when I shouldn’t spend money. We sort of over extended to make this Christmas huge for the kids. Well worth it, but sucks that I will likely miss it again.

Re: Merry Christmas! Paramilitary II in Maxamet dropping all over the place
It's that Murphy guy... he knows I just dropped $618 on other merchandise so he decided to show up again!!!
Last time I posted to the forum on an available date for this PM2, everyone said it wouldn't happen anytime too soon; so I spent my money and they showed up the day after. Well, deja vu... it's now becoming comical :D :D :D
Thanks for the heads up on the PM2....

Re: Merry Christmas! Paramilitary II in Maxamet dropping all over the place
I totally understand what you're saying about winding down. I'll always love my Spydercos, and I'll never get rid of the (smallish number of) ones I have, but until something comes along that not only can I simply not live without, but also is substantially different from and significantly adds to what I already have, I can't see myself buying much more, at least at this juncture. As you say, there are lots of expenditures one must make and wants to make, and one doesn't always have the luxury of buying whatever one fancies, does one?

Maxamet PM2 Chapter Three, "An Interesting twist of events..."
I did get an order in with BHQ before they went OOS.
My Amazon orders have been sitting idle (not charged to CC) since placed (which I've never experienced with Amazon .. holidays maybe??? ... fate????) so I cancelled enuff (spydie spelling :D) of the orders to cover the Spyderco.
If all goes as planned, my last knife of 2019 will be the Maxamet PM2.
As I said before, you had better take the money when I'm offering it as there are plenty of people that will...

Thanks for the heads up. I've been passing on the available LW Maxamet knives waiting for the Para2 to roll around again.

Re: Merry Christmas! Paramilitary II in Maxamet dropping all over the place
Was carrying the Manix 2 maxamet today. Your comment reminded me of one of the guesses as to one of next year's new models which is a pm2 lwt. Wouldn't it be amazing if it was maxamet? I think I'm ready for a lwt pm2 with deep carry

Re: Merry Christmas! Paramilitary II in Maxamet dropping all over the place
I'm more of an Endura guy. I've got the S110V Manix 2 LW and I usually fumble it a bit because it's so light. Good to have something for everyone though.
Re: Merry Christmas! Paramilitary II in Maxamet dropping all over the place
I ordered a paramilitary 2 Maxamet Thursday and it is supposed to be here Monday. Excited to try this steel. Now if i can get my green/knifejoy para 2 gone i will get a Blue/black m390 para 2. this hobby is getting expensive for Sure

Maxamet PM2 Chapter Four, "Arrived Jan 2 and now in-hand..."
I have a hard time spending +$200 on a folder, just my personal comfort zone, so this purchase was stretching my envelope. Now that I have it in hand I am feeling no regrets!
It's a PM2 so everything that can be said has been said... and most of you know it first hand anyways.
It will be a while before I get around to using it and experiencing MAXAMET as I have so many other knives and steels to try right now. A little terrified about the day when this one needs to be sharpened. Maybe I'll run it to SFO and save my diamonds!!
In the meantime, I'm just really enjoying it for being a PM2. The unfinished clip, blade and hardware; dark lettering and logo; and the gray g10 scales compliment each other and make for a very attractive knife (and I'm usually not a fan of gray but like this shade of it).
Unfortunately these have gone up in price but I think still likely worth it for many.
Now I would really like to have a Delica (favorite folder) in MAXAMET... :p
