So who's got pictures? I'd love to see the new texture up close.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Here's one I took today. You might want to right-click and open the image in a new tab (or use your preferred method to do that) so you can zoom in and see the texture up close.

I can take more if you'd like to see anything more specific. The texture is amazing in the hand. I think it will be rough on the pockets.

Thank you! Looks great. Kind of like the Allen Putnam pattern but drilled out with a much, smaller bit. I bet it's not actually a relief job though.

Did anyone else get the wrong paperwork with the knife? The printout in my box is REX45.
I bought one from SFO and it has the correct paperwork.

Have another inbound from DLT, will update if paperwork is accurate.

This is my favorite PM2 to date. I appreciate the heads up in this thread so I was able to get one.

Couldn't agree more, I've owned a lot of the Pm2 sprints and this is the best by far!

I passed on this one as it’s YAP2*
Looks good, nice color and scales, it will look great in your collection. Hopefully some other models will be made in this combination in the future.

This is one I'd love to add to my pm2 collection but I've come up short at EVERY site. Is knifecenter the only place that hasn't got them in yet?

I think the handle scales really set this one apart from other sprints..I love super grippy knives. I really like the extra grip when I am closing the compression lock

I really didnt care about the steel. I only wanted to try out the scales and the new pattern on them. My only complaint with peel ply is knowing that after years of hard use it can wear smooth. Even then there are several fixes. But I do like the idea of a g10 pattern that hopefully should not wear like peel ply does.

Yep...surprised that the inventory seems to be there still.

Pick one up, the texture on the handles is great!
