I was ultra tempted to do so but I already have three. One from my friend coming from the original preorder, and two from the subsequent small batches that they received. It's ok, I don't want to reach RevDevil numbers lol. Gotta give it up to the color green though, one of my faves and well repped in my collection. 204P takes me long to reprofile... But boy is it worthit. In all, to me it's the best user PM2 package. Most carried version.

Under order status mine says "ready to be shipped" and already has a tracking number link. The link has no info though, and I suspect won't until April 1st.

With a username like yours, I would think it would be against the law for you to pass this one up. :p

My guess is they are preparing the tracking and packages so they will be ready to go out on time on Tuesday

I agree with you, but my knife budget is currently on life support :)

Talked to KW this morning and they said that "no more will be made and no new runs will be ordered". So these were the last ones. It will be all secondary markets for these from now on.

With 1200 total made these will probably be fairly easy to score for awhile.

Lol, I know that situation all too well. Hooray college wife who doesn't work, at least my tax return because of it is going to save me this year.

KW comes out with very desirable sprints, I wonder why they don't commit to more runs on such knives as the G10/Ti Millie and this one. They sell very well.

Indeed they do. Love the CF XL, and I'm sure the CF Yojimbo will sell out in record time. Considering you can barely find a production PM2 for $100 this was a phenomenal deal!

That makes three of the green for me also, but I feel about the same. It's a great balance between a color I like and a steel that's uber.

G10/Ti frame-lock is the great combination. I can only wish that they would have more models with stainless available

three is a good number. As we talk about reprofiling, I found a good solution- diamonds :) I love my WE.

Congrats to those that picked one up this go around, and good luck to those still trying. I was lucky to be on the backup list for one last year and it's my EDC PM2 (with low rider clip of course). It is a great steel that holds its edge very well in my experience, bit tougher to sharpen though but thankfully doesn't need it too often!

I made the pre-order list. I called them and they said that I am on the "second" batch, but they don't know when it will be delivered by Spyderco. Let the waiting game begin.

Sorry guys, buy/sell/trade posts are not allowed here. As others have said, this was a relatively large and recent sprint run. You should have no trouble finding one on the secondary market for a while.

Wow! They did come and go without me noticing. A pre-need replacement would have been great but knife budget is too low anyway (too many super blue knives up for sale :rolleyes: ).
