Re: crucarta pm2 now shipping
I'm glad to see a few people seeing what I saw when I did my "for science" testing when I got mine. You are really going to need to be abusing it, in a manner that it was never intended to, in order to do damage to that area of the knife IMO. And when using really using the knife it is a non-issue all-together. I could not deform the material to the same point I could by purposely placing and pinching the stuff with my fingers. In normal knife grips it does not deform to the same degree at all.DSH007 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 1:54 pmI've been carrying my mine a lot since I got it.. the perceived "weak" lock-bar cutout area is not a real issue in actual use as far as I'm concerned. This version is a really nice expression of the PM2.
Back in stock at Sooner State Knives as of this posting..
It is a well thought out design for that area and the material used.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's gone
Re: crucarta pm2 now shipping
I got mine recently, one side is darker than the other but that doesn't matter to me. Does anyone else's have a tight lock? I mean when you push to unlock, there's little more effort (like its dragging harder across then an audible clicking sound). With my other PM2's it has an easier feeling no click or drag.

Re: crucarta pm2 now shipping
I haven't had that experience with the lock, though it sounds odd enough to be meaningful. The only issues with mine are it being off center, and a less-refined satin finish at the spine of the blade from what looks like some rough/missed finishing, neither of which bother me whatsoever. Especially given the point of this design as far as I'm concerned - a rough using, outdoor/camp knife.islandpar wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 12:33 amI got mine recently, one side is darker than the other but that doesn't matter to me.

Re: crucarta pm2 now shipping
I did just put this to the fact that people just complain a lot ^^ But The fact that this is sold between 205€ and 234€ is most certainly a big factor.z1r wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 1:41 pmI absolutely love the knife. I've heard complaints about the release but honestly don't understand them. Yes, it is different than say on my base model PM2 but, in use, I don't see what all the fuss is about.
I would imagine that the cost in France is substantially more than here in the US so any perceived shortcomings would probably be magnified.
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Re: crucarta pm2 now shipping
Couldn’t take the wait anymore. Canceled my preorder (circa January ‘21) and ordered an in-stock example from national knives.
I’m done with preorders.
