Cross your fingers for a Military 2 version.

Personally I'm hoping Cutlery Shoppe has a Cts-Xhp version in the works.

Wasn't worth $300 back then, not worth $450 now

I think it's a couple of things contributing to slower sell outs. First is due to nothing really new being released in sprints or exclusives besides the 15v knives. People are sick of the same handful of steels being produced as exclusives only with different scale colors. I've been so burned out on...

I was just thinking it sure would be nice if Spyderco made a LC200N Ladybug in green, while I was fidgeting with my H1 hawkbill ladybug

I tried for one, but the website crashes twice on me, and then they were gone. Oh well, more money to go towards a different knife.

Holding strong for my imaginary BentoBox K390 Ranger green.

That will be the most expensive Shaman offered by a dealer.

I heard somewhere it was going to be $179.

I've been waiting for Cutlery Shoppe to drop an orange wharncliffe model in CTS-XHP for what seems like forever. They just announced the release, and listed them on the site. So glad I held out for this one. :smlling-eyes https://cutleryshoppe.com/spyderco-c81gpwcor2-para-military-2-3-44-cts-xhp-sat...

The color turned out lighter than expected. Wonder if that is by design, or if they were trying to match the Seki LC200N color and missed it.

The front page banner now shows Sold Out

Website is back up. Got one

The website crashed

I think it's due to the blade steel being Cruwear. This is the fourth Cruwear version of the PM2. 1st Cruwear sprint run - gray g10 2nd Cruwear DLT exclusive - DLC blade, purple g10 3rd Cruwear production - natural micarta 4th Cruwear DLT exclusive - purple g10 I actually like seeing the exclusives ...

Im getting the feeling that spyderco is using up all the s30v and will roll out an upgrade with s45vn....who knows. Im tempted to wait and see, do I try for the bhq m4/micarta drop or wait and see on the s45vn, or snag a s30v if I still can?....decisions I'd go for the M4 exclusive. You can always ...

I believe it was old stock. They had both versions listed on their website and only the saber ground was at closeout pricing.

That bump would bug me.

I never understood why Spyderco allowed both blade types to be exclusives. I agree they should of been available for general release, and only allow certain blade steels as exclusive offerings.

My resolution is to purchase less Spyderco knives then I did last year. With the new 2022 prices, I'm going to have to be more selective on which knives I decide to add to the collection.

I've also cut back on my Spyderco purchases over the last few years. I ordered a Gayle Bradley 2 recently. I've wanted one for awhile but they were always sold out. Dealers finally got a new run in and it was buy now or wait to pay more with the 2022 price increase.
