You can’t go wrong with that sprint! Unless you need it for river/lake/ocean use. I really enjoy mine, and have always wanted to swap in a DLC coated blade, and black hardware.
I got a sweet deal on a DLC PM2, just hoping it comes in as described so I can consider that swap some more, but I don’t know if I’ll go through with it.

CF Domino, Black/DLC PM2, and Blue S110V Manix 2 LW inbound.

What's the story behind this knife? Always found the knife itself pretty cool and interesting.
According to the Spyderco’s web site this is their description.
“Through an exclusive arrangement with the Spyderco knife company of Golden, Colorado, Never Summer is proud to offer this unique, limited edition version of their incredibly popular Native® 5 Lightweight folding knife. The blade of this remarkable knife is precision machined from LC200N steel—an extraordinary nitrogen-based alloy used by NASA in the ball bearings of high-performance aerospace equipment. Its advanced alloy composition offers exceptional toughness and edge retention and makes it extremely corrosion resistant. To further increase its resistance to the elements, the blade is cloaked in a black Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating that also accentuates its laser engraved Never Summer logo. Its full-flat grind and partially serrated CombinationEdge™ cutting edge ensure superior cutting performance on all types of materials and the Trademark Round Hole™ in the blade allows quick one-handed opening with either hand.

The blade is paired with an ultra-lightweight handle injection molded from tough fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN). The bright red handle features Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texturing™ pattern for a secure grip in even the most demanding conditions and is home to a highly refined back lock mechanism that locks the blade securely open during use. A four-position pocket clip allows the user to configure the knife for right or left-side tip-up or tip-down carry. This feature, along with the back lock and Round Hole, makes every aspect of this knife’s carry and operation completely ambidextrous.

This extraordinary knife was produced in limited quantities and is now available exclusively through Spyderco. Sales will benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Please visit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation for additional information on the services and support that they provide.

Don’t miss this opportunity to show your Never Summer pride and support our nation’s fallen firefighters by owning one of the coolest knives ever made!”

Great choice, and definitely a bundle worth owning.
I love everything about my blue Domino! I put a black(silver spyder) pocket clip on mine and it completes it.

I FINALLY got a Cutlery Shoppe Paramilitary 2 for a good price! Been actively after this knife for almost a year now.

So how are you liking your new 52100 PM2 Neuronic? (I bet you are lol). I have two of them as well, and I just received my 52100 Para3, and I have to say they are my absolute favorite knives PERIOD. The jewel-like fit and finish just accentuates the pleasure of using and sharpening 52100 steel. It has drained away almost all interest I had in using stainless steels, and I really have no problem keeping them free of corrosion--although I allowed a nice patina to form on one of my PM2's through normal use. I'm so glad Spyderco doesn't shy away from experimenting with many different materials so that it's customers may do so in turn! Enjoy your new knife!
My collection so far: 52100 Military (2); 52100 PM2 (2); 52100 Para3; Stretch2 V-Toku; KnifeWorks M4 PM2; BentoBox M390 PM2; BentoBox S90V Military; Police4 K390; S110V PM2; SS Delica AUS-6; Wayne Goddard Sprint VG-10
Wish list: Hundred Pacer; Sliverax; Mantra; 52100 PM2 SE; Kapara

Well, actually I'm a bit torn right now... while I really like the peel ply carbon fiber scales (so grippy!) and the overall ergos, there are some minor flaws and one major one:

- on one scale the carbon fiber has chipped so you can see the steel liner. Just a tiny chip but noticable...
- all inner edges of the carbon fiber scales are very rough, sharp even, especially on the cut-out for the liner lock. You won't notice handling the knife but it's there...
- out of the box because of its weight the knife felt almost flimsy to me but I'm used to bigger, heavier blades, so that's just me and personal preference.

There one thing that's really annoying: the knife has serious lock stick. Not only there's that click when you release the lock but you have to use a good amount of force to release it. And it's gritty all the way, it's not really a single click but rather a seriesof clicks, it's really rough and unpleasant...
I flicked it some hundred times over the last days, the action got noticably smoother already (came pretty dry, oiled it up), but the lock stick hasn't changed a bit.

I will take it apart and have a closer look, I have the feeling it might be the stop pin rather than the tang causing that scratchy feeling when releasing the lock. Someone somewhere wrote he got rid of lock stick on a PM2 by turning the stop pin, so I'll try this.
If it stays, the knife goes, I'm afraid...
