Headed to Pennsylvania for work and stopped at Shepherd Hills Factory Outlet in Lebanon, MO and they had some Endela models in K390. Couldn't resist. The edge grinds are perfect.

I recently grabbed a Delica K390 and the edge grinds weren't even or symmetrical, but as I reprofile most factory edges, I never gave it a second thought. Just threw it on the Atoma 400 and went to work. The (2) PM2s in K390 I own were perfectly symmetrical but they too were reprofiled to around 12d...

I bet all those ridiculous flipper prices on eBay for the S30V model PM2 Tantos are panicking...

Pretty easy to tell those from the real. G10 grip pattern is off, digicam G10 pattern has the wrong colors, ragged edges on the G10 at least on the digicam one, black paint is either not dlc or is some kind of shiny dlc rather than flat, bug logo on the blade is all off (for example the lower legs ...

I ordered a green zome for my grandsons birthday and liked it so much I ordered another one plus the blue K390 model and did a blade swap. Now I have a blue VG10 Delica and a green zome K390. I have some 20cv in the recent Jester and M390 in the recent Manix 2 and like the steel, just not as much a...

Awesome news! Thanks for the update.

I'm a firm believer in laissez faire capitalism and think if any item, whether a PM2, a case of ammo, a car, or a house, is in high demand and supply is low, a seller can shift the price up to increase their profit. The sole purpose of any business is to make money. If the market will support the pr...

I just want some Spyderco OEM camo G10 scales in the digi pattern that comes on the PM2s and Para 3s.

I just always assumed that the surface finish differences were due to the steel variations. But we all know what happens when we assume.

I have no clue, but I'd be all over it and then some..

I have zero knives in Cruwear, but have some micarta scales on a few PM2s as well as other fixed blades. I like it for handle/scale material and will likely grab one of these if I happen to be available when they drop. I've been interested in trying out the Cruwear as I really like 52100 and M4 so t...

Got mine in today. My 3rd Manix 2 but my first blade in M390. The liners are skeletonized whereas my other two have solid liners so it's much lighter but still has a beefy feel. Wasn't sure I was going to like to brown G10 and had initial plans to throw some carbon fiber or micarta scales on it but ...

Nice collection @kobold - who makes the leather NATO band on the Citizen diver in the picture with the Chris Reeve knife?

I'm an engineer and manage global capital projects for the worlds largest packaging company, so I am very close to raw material pricing and market volatility. I've seen 100% - 400% cost increases on copper buss, wire, conduit, steel, aluminum, etc, etc, etc. Then the shipping and logistics cost incr...

Just ordered one. Now I wish they would do a run of K390 Manix 2s.

Absolutely. No matter the cost.

My favorite steel is K390 and although I prefer the PM2 platform over the Military, I would snatch one up in a heartbeat to add to my growing collection of Spyderco K390 knives - currently two PM2s, two Delica 4s, and an Endela and a Manbug on the way.

Isn't the Enuff Salt Sheepsfoot perfect for this already?

Yep, that would be an excellent knife for the application. Thanks for the link.

"Don't be the crankbait!".

I know this is very serious business, but I couldn't help but laugh out loud at this.

Humorous delivery can be key to breaking the ice with a bunch of LEOs and firefighters.

A purpose driven river knife typically has a serrated or partially serrated edge, blunted tip, and is housed in a sheath that has multiple options for attachment methods. Very similar to a dive knife. No advantage over a Salt knife in cutting performance whatsoever. The greatest advantage is easy ac...
