Welcome to the forum Jimbo818. Nice collection!

I'm not sure which PM2's you might have missed (if any) but I'm sure others here will be able to help you. :)

According to Spydiewiki looks like you have them all listed.

I'd keep an eye out on the Bladeforums sale section, many come up there often for decent prices, with the exception of the CPM154/S90V variation of which there were only a couple hundred made, it's the only one I'm missing from the list of steels (I don't have every handle variation of every steel though).

My CPM154/S90V was the most costly to get. I've seen them listed for $700! I have 13 out of the 16. So far the Bohler ELMAX,, CTS 20CP and CMP-S90V have eluded me. I've only seen one Elmax for sell and never saw a 20CP listed anywhere. The 2018 Forum knife is S90V, but I don't care for the scales or engravings so I've not picked one up.
I'm not interested in buying, trading or selling on this forum. The above is my experience so far.

Not a PM2 but the CPM D2 Paramilitary 1 should be on your list as well, IMHO. Just because it's such a cool steel.

I have 10 out of the list ... users, not collectors.

Besides different scales, how about different edge types ?

I am trying to get all the PM2 steels. I have a few doubles or triples of one steel. I have a some with Flytanium scales and one with CUSCDI scales.
My users are S30V and 52100.
My collection will be huge if I got every steel, in each color and blade edge and scale combo - I have no idea how big that would be!

Did they do XHP in silver?

This list (I have just six listed) is not sufficient to loose my completist urges. NOT, I say, NOT!

The Satin/Orange XHP came out first, that's the one I have, I actually like the look of the black blade better with the orange scales, but didn't need a second XHP blade when that combo came out.

I like XHP and would consider having both black and silver versions of it.

If I remember correctly there is a YouTube video at BladeHQ where a guy has every PM2 made.

That video got me started. I already loved my PM2's ( I had three at the time) and the hunt-was-on once I found out how many variations were made.

I don't think he has every one made as I have a couple myself. :)
Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:

The list is outdated because the thread is almost two years old. K390, 10V and 4V have also been added to the lineup in the interim.

A few more steels got added to my list. I found a CPM S45VN to add to my collection. But I'm still six short of a complete set.
Elmax and S90 seem to be the rarest.
