I thought it’s either a Military or a PM2. If you look close enough, you can see the tang. It’s squared off and smaller like the PM2 and not bigger and rounder like the Millie. It’s a PM2. Can’t wait to see what scales will be…

I like Elmax as well, but it's not a reason for me to buy a duplicate knife anymore...

I hope it's not a PM2 and is something more interesting, I would like another Elmax blade in the lineup, but I'm currently culling some of the PM2's I already have.
So it goes.

From this pic I'd say "another" PM2. Not even their Emerson Wave PM2 (No saber grind in pic).

Wow, a teaser so extremely close to the drop date. Is this a new trend among Spyderco dealers in order to drive up hype and demand? For what its' worth, it is a flat ground knife so their Emerson wave PM2 exclusive is out of the picture. Definitely a PM2 im my opinion.

I really hope it’s a Millie. There have been so many PM2 exclusives and sprints already. I understand the PM2 is very popular and I think it’s a great knife. Heck, I have 4 of them. It would just be really nice to see the Military get some attention.

Elmax is very popular with the bush crafters because it's supposed to be pretty darn tough while being a true stainless. It will be interesting to see how this does.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

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

That's a Janisong.


Well maybe not, that top curve could be the bottom of a thumb hole.
Not a Janisong unfortunately.

I just looked at my k390 and the lettering appears to be curved to me on that one. I would be happy to be wrong tho. The straight spine stretch is an awesome knife, and one I overlooked for a very long time.
:bug-red-white I collect them all, and use them all! I use the excuse, "I'm trying to find the perfect one", but in reality, they are all perfect in their own way!

WooHooo!!! Makes me glad I'm not a PM2 collector!

I have a few PM2 sprints/exclusives I've been considering moving on. So if this turns out to be something I'd like I might just get it and move the ones I'm not using

I've got a decent sampling of Elmax from other makers, so I will likely pass on this one, especially if it's another PM2 or Para3.
