Maxamet PM2

Post by Sharp Guy »

Collector's Club PM2s are starting to show up on EBay. These should be at the dealers soon.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Excited for this release. Only wish they would of chose a different colored G10, since I already have the Cruwear sprint.

Ha, sorry... Two M390 Red, M4 CF PM2 backup, and FRN Chaparral all in transit. Really excited about this one, but with three PM2s in the mail it might be time to take a breather.

As long as it doesn't turn out in a divorce all is ok, right ;)

Thanks Peter, just saw a video on youtube and it looks the same as the cruwear pm2 rather than the para 3. I saw a pic on instagram and it looked very light but I guess they used a flash.

Here's the video if anyone is interested

I am pleased to say I received a perfect example today, but not shaving sharp. The stone washing looks great and gives it a soft feel, especially around the edges, like the Manix2 and Native5 blades. The color is identical to the Cruwear sprint. Color comparison pic:

Has anyone sharpened them and experienced the catastrophic Apex degradation that has been all over YouTube?

Ordered one from KC today. It was 'In Stock' when I ordered it. Got the receipt and it says 'In Stock'. Been chasing it for about a week since they were available. I was feeling good. Well, I just checked my account at Knifecenter and now it says 'Pre Order'. What is going on with them? Did this happen to anyone else?

I've only had to do light touch ups to this point, which have been surprising easy (PM2 included). Might reprofile this one soon, mostly because I want a benchmark and plan to beat the **** out of it :)

Same here. My last preorder got canceled. I'm hoping this one comes through.
