Thanks in advance :)
I suggest you take a look at Paul's site and of course this recent thread. It should help you answering your questions. It's a good read, both of them.

how does one acquire these pilots pieces? Is there a drawing or some random selection or is it part of the collectors club membership

Of the 50 piece pilot run it looks like 44 were purchased by Spyderco staff and 6 were given away on various forums. I'm not sure how many of each grind there were.

I've seen the same hollowground pilot Manix 2 sold twice so far, it went for a small premium over the street price both times. I have yet to see a flatground model for sale anywhere.

Here's the relevant thread.

Nice shots of that FFG pilot run Manix 2, nice to see one 'in the flesh'. I only saw the regular FFG variant as a prototype.

Love that Plain-Edge Impala!! I also love the fact that I got to see beautiful pictures of all four of my Spydercos. It won't be four for long, I have some catching up to do. Thanks for the time this took, great work.

Wow wow wow! Virtually every knife a rare & desirable variant. Moreover the clarity of the pictures is so high that normally hidden features and nuances are all revealed. So jealous on so many levels. Thank you for posting the pictures for us newbies to use as reference material and our own education and enjoyment of all things Spyderco.
