Boar-gen

+1 favorite lock, +1 in for one to evaluate

Just got an email from knifecenter.com that the 52100 Military Sprint Shipped! FYI to anyone.

+1 that's it. Enjoy the PM2, I was surprised how much I like it when I started carrying it.

Hard to be knife shamed when you have a :spyder:

Pocketzen, for processing game I like an edge that has some bite. A fine polished edge will tend to just slide on hair and hide. To check for bite get some manila rope from Lowe's or a hardware store and do some cutting. If you get the edge right it will cut clean and leave a shiny side to the cut ...

Ideas are help. Thanks

I like about 15 on each side. This give me a fine enough edge for good cutting, but still durable enough in case I encounter bone, debris in hair, etc. I have also used 20 per side. I cannot say what grit on the SB as I do not have a knife in that steel.

Thanks Doc Dan. That is helpful. I ...

I was lucky enough to draw a Cow Elk tag for this fall and will be going out for the first time. I am super excited. I plan to take my Spyderco Super Blue Stretch and either my CruWear or Super Blue Mule.

My Question is, What type of edge do you like on your hunting knife?
- What Grit do you stop ...

I think 1200 would certainly sell and it would put a damper on early flipping even though they're selling at a relatively low price, since it would saturate the market more and give more potential buyers to a chance to avoid flippers. It would also dilute the feeding frenzy and take some pressure ...

Just saw a Facebook post by Blade HQ announcing a dealer exclusive Paramilitary 2 with CPM M4 blade and jade G10 handle. I don't remember seeing anything about this, so as far as I can tell this is news.

Thanks Able Dog! I have been interested in a M4 PM2 since I bought my M4 Manix2. I was a ...

Wonderful Ted!!! Looks amazing.

Very nice!

The first time I sharpen a factory edge I start with the courses grit possible. Why? Simply, the edge was ground at the factory with a belt grinder. I sharpen by had with flat stones. It has been my experience that the first time I sharpen I am still reshaping the edge. Some areas of the factory ...

Sure would snatch up a thinly ground M4 fixed blade!!

Use it then sharpen it.

I used my bushcraft to cut up my old bank card and trim off some stray tread from my boot.

heres an of what phil wilsons bird and trout knives look like

Was there supposed to be a link or a picture there Holland? Or is the knife in your signature line a Phil Wilson Bird and Trout?

M4 PM's been requested the most for years on the forums now. They know and I have no doubt that they'll come through someday.

I have this anxiety though that when it finally does come its gonna be so sought after that many will be left out. I hope its at least 1200 pieces (the max they do) or ...

Haven't heard anything. I think an M4 para2 is long overdue though :D

For sure! I am surprised that we haven't had more M4 sprints. I would probably ditch my other PM2 exclusive after.

A Grey CPM Cruwear Para2 would be nice to go with my millie. M4 or s110v would also be cool and very popular ...
