Last time I checked steel was tougher than wood. Carve away, that would not be considered hard use for any knife.

When I first saw the website I thought the $5 insurance was the down payment. Now I realize they want the money up front with no ETA and no money back, LOL. No thanks :)

Ok coming right up!

Great looking knife!

Completed!

Leave no man or knife behind!

They had 4 black on black yesterday, those sold out a little sooner but I'm surprised the camo satins were up so long. Btw there is 1 left.

Howes has 8 PM2's ready to order, wish I hadn't just spent so much money on sharpening equipment!

$120 to $180 is about right, lately it has been towards the higher end

Ebay has one from time to time, prices are pretty high

Good advice, also keep in mind s30v takes a lot longer to sharpen than the other knives you are sharpening. You should be able to get it pretty sharp with the normal rod. In fact I would use something more coarse to start. Don't try to switch to the fine rods too soon. I would do 40 degrees and just...

On the new xhp CF chaparral I kind of tried to remove the lettering. Love the knife but it was so hard to open, I thought the raised lettering and tight fit was creating extra friction. I took it apart to have full access to the blade and ground both sides on a DMT double sided sharpener. I used the...

I also realize a light weight backlock is harder to flick open. But I have no problem flicking open my frn, g10, and SS dragonflys. Other...

I have one in xhp CF and returned one, first one was impossible to flick open and the second one is only a tiny bit better. As far as the steel and edge holding, it seems outstanding and similar to zdp189 but I cant tell much difference between s30v and the xhp. The smoothness is more of a concern, ...

I think you're missing the all orange Esee 5 :)

Does anyone know how knifecenter does their pre-orders? Do they charge the full cost upfront and then you wait until the knife is released? Or do they only charge when it ships?

some people prefer smaller knives and some larger, the PM2 appeals to both groups. Combine the size with high quality materials and craftsmanship at a very competitive street price and you get a very popular knife. Low supply and high demand, plus some limited editions making everything more collect...
