PM2 Spyderedge question
Hi everyone,
So I noticed these up for pre-order and have been wanting one for a long time. Are these a limited run? If these don't sell out too fast I probably won't pre-order. Thanks a lot in advance for any answers/replies.

Re: PM2 Spyderedge question
From the 2017 catalog it looks like they are standard production so you don't have to worry about not getting one

Re: PM2 Spyderedge question
That's great news :) I wonder if they've considered the C-36 Military in full SE? There is truly something very special about those GOLDEN, CO USA Earth models in Spyderedge. Most of them are extremely rigid and perform to excellent standards.
I can remember back in the day ( pre-2005) when most every Spyderco folder was available in Spyderedge. I hope this is a screaming success as I believe it will be.

Re: PM2 Spyderedge question
Twice today I've read "pre-2005". What happened in 2005?
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
Re: PM2 Spyderedge question
I'm interested as well... Spyder edge PM2, mmmmmmm
Re: PM2 Spyderedge question
If you're talking about that other thread that I launched a couple of days ago then I can explain. Actually I picked "pre-2005" arbitrarily because that's when I feel that Spyderco sort of went through a transition with many of their models. But arguments could be made for 2003, 2009 and to a large degree 2012.Leadsled wrote:Twice today I've read "pre-2005". What happened in 2005?
Most of the "old school Spyders" that I appreciate the most were introduced during those times ( 1996-2005). Not exactly sure when the Paramilitary was introduced but it's big Brother the C-36 Military model was bestowed on us in 1996 and was available in ATS-34 and 440V blade steels at that time period.
Many of the super-classic Spyders that are the most coveted were mostly introduced during that time period. My personal GOLDEN Era Of Spyders is (1998-2003). That includes many of the great collaborations.
The Military and Paramilitary models were IN HOUSE designs.

Re: PM2 Spyderedge question
I just heard about the SE PM2. I have several PE models and think I need a SE, and a Millie to match!
Re: PM2 Spyderedge question
Yeah if their going to do a PARA in SE then it's just proper and appropriate to do at least one version of the C-36 Military model in SE as well. I had one of the old school SE Paramilitary models with the black blade. It was a handsome devil but I ended up trading it for a couple of gray Matriarch models ( South African Sprint Run).Scottie3000 wrote:I just heard about the SE PM2.

There have been so many of the guys here on the forum petition for a new Spyderedged Military model as well as a Spyderedge Para. Even if they just do Sprint Runs of each model it will be a nice set of blades for users and collectors alike.

Re: PM2 Spyderedge question
I'm a bit confused here JD, there certainly has been SE versions of the Military in all its standard steels. Here's my S30V in a set of orange scales.JD Spydo wrote:That's great news :) I wonder if they've considered the C-36 Military in full SE?

Re: PM2 Spyderedge question
You're absolutely right about the fact that there have been C-36 Military as well as the PARA model both were available in Spyderedge in the past. But it's been quite a long time ago since they were both discontinued unfortunately. I don't think they've had either model in Spyderedge since the early days of S30V introduction to the best of my memory.RadioactiveSpyder wrote:I'm a bit confused here JD, there certainly has been SE versions of the Military in all its standard steels.JD Spydo wrote:That's great news :) I wonder if they've considered the C-36 Military in full SE?

What I'm getting at is there seems like an increase of many of the forumites who very much want to see the return of both models in Spyderedge. Especially in the past 12 to 18 months I've been seeing it on forums other than this one as well. Both models are built rugged which I believe gives a Spyderedged blade an advantage. Yeah there have been SE models in ATS-34, 440V and in the early days of S30V but it's been quite a long time and it's return is way overdue IMO. :)
