I think I would be happier if I had NOT tried to collect all the PM2s. This will be number 59 for me (If I get one)

Re: Fraden Lock Co - Yet Another PM2 Exclusive

Re: Fraden Lock Co - Yet Another PM2 Exclusive
I don't know...you may be right but I can't imagine importing Elmax would be much cheaper than getting domestic 4V. And even at $300 I probably would get one, I'd at least take a good hard look at my current collection to see which ones to cull.RamZar wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 9:08 pmThe Meat man wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 7:20 pmFair question. Probably not for Elmax, but if would come in CPM 4V like their Manix I would.RamZar wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 6:20 pmThe Meat man wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 5:56 pmMan! I love those scales. I'm not a PM2 fan though. At the risk of sounding like a broken record...if only this were a Millie...
Hypothetical question: If this came out in Military Elmax Marbled CF would you pay $275 for it? That’s $230 + $45 (price difference between a regular Military & ParaMilitary2).
I think part of the reason Fradon went with Elmax instead of 4V was to keep the costs down. A Military with 4V and Marbled CF would probably be around $300 not $275.

Re: Fraden Lock Co - Yet Another PM2 Exclusive
Best looking PM2 I've seen in a while. If this were 3 years ago, I'd be all over it...but...it's not! Very attractive scales though, I'll give them that!

Love the scales, not interested in Elmax.
You should never have to ask yourself "do i really need another knife?" The answer is obvious...

Re: Fraden Lock Co - Yet Another PM2 Exclusive
Wow, I'm not really interested in this one, but they are going way faster than I expected them too...people can't get enough of that marbled CF...
Edit to add: Half the batch was gone in 5 minutes, then sales stagnated fast. Flippers?

Re: Fraden Lock Co - Yet Another PM2 Exclusive
This was the easiest exclusive I’ve ever purchased! Well done! In cart at 11:01 and checked out 30 second later.
I’m pumped for this one! That’s why I never posted on this thread because I didn’t want to over hype it.

You are a lover of all carbon fiber knives! Glad it was an easy one for you to snag.

Re: Fraden Lock Co - Yet Another PM2 Exclusive
Yes Sir! To have factory smooth CF scales is a super easy buy for me. It could have been AUS6 and I would have bought it, but I’ve heard Elmax is a great steel and I’m excited to try it.

Re: Fraden Lock Co - Yet Another PM2 Exclusive
You and me both! Now if you really want to scare yourself, add up the cost of 59 PM2s...
Re: Fraden Lock Co - Yet Another PM2 Exclusive
I wonder if these all dont sell quickly, if Fradon Lock will discount them like they did on the Hap 40 Delica with CF scales.
I picked one up there for $106 when they were initially $180.
