Knifeworks M4 PM2!

[MCM]

My 2 are pretty much perfect. But didn't spend too much time looking at every possible detail. Happens every time. Newbies order a production knife that happens to be an exclusive, open the box expecting a custom. Put it under a microscope and a small % are not 100% perfect. Just like any other production product.

Mines waiting for me to rescue it from the mailbox right now, cant wait to get home. Next week is going to be even better though, my Nirvana finally shipped from KW's :D

Unfortunately I received one of the not so nice versions. The CF is cracked near the back of the comp lock. Hair keeps getting snagged in there. Also there are chunks missing near the lanyard hole. Not a huge deal, but kind of a disappointment. The knife seems like it functions fine though, so that's good. It's still a beautiful knife and I'm happy to have it.

Dang. Not cool

LC, is that a thick CF laminate....

[Liquid Cobra]

I noticed that too. No, it's just a weirdly formed piece. The other scale is almost perfect.

When Spyderco releases the sprint CF 52100 PM2 I'll be able to pick one in person, so I'm not too upset about this one.

[farnorthdan]

Bummer LC, I think I would send it back if it were mine, and quick like before they sell out. Those are some pretty big chunks missing around the lanyard hole.

[Liquid Cobra]

Ugh, you guys aren't making it easy for me to keep it lol. But ive already decided it's a keeper. Thanks for the compassion :D

[farnorthdan]

Just got home, guess I got lucky, the one I received doesn't appear to have any boo-boo's, I really like how lite CF is and grippy.

I don't think wanting properly drilled out pocket clip holes is an expectation that should be reserved for customs.

Its a symptom of production knives. Am sure most are close to perfect. Sounds like yours isnt.
Its not like you cant send it back to KW or Spyderco. Most would just take care of it that way. Rather than scaring everyone
or condemning an entire run.

I finally broke down and ordered one as a birthday present to myself. :D

I've been around for more than a few of these types of exclusives and I will say that I'm hearing/seeing a lot more people with issues than usual. It's entirely possible that this was a bad batch.

That said, you are absolutely correct, people can simply send them back. And those people are free to feel annoyed with having to ship stuff back and hope and wait that the one they get back is better.

Thanks, it really is a nice piece, good job Spyderco. :)

CF can be a bit chippy to work with.

[Liquid Cobra]

Still a **** good looking knife and I'm glad to have it!

[Scroop]

My first one was flawless so I ordered a second. Got my shipping notice today...
