Shhhh… more for the rest of us.

Michael Walker in ZDP-189, Dragonfly CF, and Chaparral CF for me.

A set of titanium scales on the C22 would make a nice sprint, and a nice play on the almite coated aluminum scales of previous runs…

Really nice review and photos. You've made me even more interested in the Roadie, it seems like a very useful size.

Wasn't that original CF Michael Walker made in joint collaboration with Klotzli? I seem to remember that being the case? The original Michael Walker collaboration was with Klötzli. The fit and finish of that model was amazing. There were subsequent runs made in Seki City — a rare black almite, blue...

I was watching that auction as well, mostly out of curiosity for how high it would go. The ZDP-189 C22 used to go for more in the $100-200 range, but I guess they are becoming more rare. That said, part of me was happy to see such bidding on the Michael Walker, as it's truly a great little knife. Th...

C22 Michael Walker sprint from Taichung. Lightning strike CF and s110v. :D

Sound good to anyone else?

The anodized graphic isn't my style, but everything else about the Ti frame looks great. Very clean lines and nice chamfered edges.

Think of it this way, it could be worse — the bug could be etched or engraved into the handle.

The C22 is probably my all-time favorite Spyderco.

I would love to see a Taichung-made C22 Michael Walker with s110v or CTS-204P. Lightning strike or marble CF while we're at it.

Pretty please Sal

Any C22 sprint would be very welcome.

This was potentially a regular production model, but it seems Spyderco has released this as a sprint instead, as indicated by the recent SpyderByte newsletter.

These are in stock at KW now.

Well said, Nate. Kudos.

Looks like the S110V MT18 is available for sale again from Spyderco. If you missed them on Wednesday, hope you can snag one now. :)

The product page for this mule is showing "add to cart" again. If you missed these on Wednesday, go get 'em!

Natural (jade green) G10 would look amazing polished.

Scales have arrived. I decided to slap on the CF pair first. They look great. Here's the K390 mule fresh from slicing up some roasted pork loin for lunch:

After emailing Halpern Titanium right after this thread went up, I finally got an email back today. They'd run out of the orange scales entirely, but I've got a one of the Option 4 scales in black coming to me and one of the Option 5 in CF, shipping out today. Can't wait to slap these on the K390 mu...

Welcome! Nice looking scales, and great collection of Para-Military 2s.

Thanks from me, too, Mike. CF scales look sweet, I just placed an order for a pair thanks to your photos.
