Well I guess I won't be waiting long after all. Mine just shipped! And I was so sure I was in the second round. This is all very exciting, sprints are fun!

I need it.
Even though it's essentially the same steel, I do prefer blue.

I too seem to be in the second batch. Anyone have any idea how long of a wait we're talking here? Days, weeks, months? Missed this one again. Darn. Since I don't own a Stretch perhaps it's time to buy one instead. VG-10, ZDP, Super Blue...what do y'all recommend? I'll take a look over on Bladeforums...

More steels! I don't quite know what steels Seki is willing to use. I'm getting the impression that they only use Japanese steels, but they should definitely try something new.

Other than that, the only improvement I can think of is to make them free so I can have them all.

I'd have to go with my Cruwear Military because it's pretty much my favorite for every day tasks. That's why I carry it. But if we're talking self defense against zombies, I'll still take it because it would do well in slitting my own wrists before the zombies could get to me. I'm not fighting them ...

Hmm I wonder which round I'm in. I can't remember if it said pre-order when I placed mine, but my account is down the full 149.95. Either way, pretty excited. This is my first PM2. I've been waiting for a sprint/exclusive to come around so I could get one at actual price and not the inflated seconda...

How can you tell? Did it not say "pre-order only" for the first 220?

Oh I'll never forget my first. I got my first car, an 87 Camaro, in 2003. While cleaning it, I found an all stainless Delica in the back, I believe on the floor half tucked under the mat. It was fully serrated, though sharpened to all **** and the serrations were rather rounded. So was the tip. The ...

I was wondering what kind of steel you cut into? I wonder as well. I was tearing down some headphones so I could put the actual speaker parts inside my ski helmet, but once I finally got them and the wire off the headband, there was still one problem. The wires exited the speakers through a little ...

I recently tested my GB metal vs metal. I wanted to cut through a small bit of steel, and thought "well they can't call it tool steel for nothing" and had at it. While you can feel which part of the edge was used, it's hardly dulled and you have to look pretty hard to see it. So M4 cuts le...

I second the ZDP Stretch. Flat ground 3.5" blade with a nice curve in an awesome steel that's stainless enough. Though a Military feels like it could do pretty well boning out a chicken, I don't see you doing that a whole lot outside. I've never used a Resilience, so I may be missing out. P.S. ...
