I'll be doing my best to get a couple of them. I guess I have somewhere between 7 and 10 PM2's, but none in CF yet, so it's a must.
Which Knife, A or B? get Both! (and C, D and E) :)

Well...
I think I'll sit this one out. Definitely sign me up for the Millie, but I just can't get as excited about the PM2. :o ;)

What's not to like? Non stainless?
Yeah. Just more maintenance with no noticeable benefit for my uses. I have a lot of knives to keep track of and maintain, and the M4s have given me the most trouble.

Not so excited for Carbon fiber, honestly, but not gonna hold me back! :D

Highly jealous of the ability to even consider affording more than 1 though.
People sitting in the local credit union, looking to get approved for a new car, a first home, maybe student loans... then I'd be there asking about options for some new knives, haha.

This one is the very definition of the no-brainer sellout success! You had to know this was coming when a certain someone (who will remain nameless today for fear of the Taz ;)) said a while back that KW had some exciting things to offer this year.

The only of one the three I didn't see coming was the CF/Ti one. Time will tell if that was exclusive becomes as valuable on the secondary market someday as the G10/Ti M4 Millie (which I paid a decent sum for coming at it so late in the game).

All three sound very interesting. Any idea the order they will be released in?

Idk, I'm sort of over the Para 2 if you can believe that. I may still get one because I really like the steel. I'd much rather have a Military in M4 again maybe with just G10 handles.

Wow nice bunch of knives.

I'm liking the S90V Ti CF Millie.

Hope the feeding frenzy isn't going to be too bad.

I have to agree with this, peel ply CF just doesn't excite me either, the 204p Millie is much more interesting for me. If funds allow I'll try to pick one up but I won't be too sad if I miss out.

I am really excited about the Paramilitary. My experience working with m4 has been overwhelmingly positive. I have a couple of Phil Wilsons customs in this steel and have worked them very hard. Those two blades in m4 are both very hard (64 and 65 i believe) yet they have both shown a very high resistance to chipping and deformation, even when doing high force push cuts. For what its worth, I have done a fair bit of edge damage to s30v and s90v with the same work. Haven't been able to damage the m4 yet though. Takes and holds a really fine edge too. The steel is an absolute winner in my book and I am stoked to have a chance to get one of my favorite folder designs in m4.

The s90v yo2 was called a no brainer sell out as well and is still being offered if it hasn't sold out already. Ill snag an s90v millie cf/ti for sure! Also, at 1200 units i doubt the secondary will reach the m4 millie price that had under 500 last i checked (maybe 300?)

Yup, thanks for the fact check, that M4 run was only 500 pieces.

I hope that they emptied their inbox before releasing this info and I hope that they staffed some OT to check emails today! :eek: We are like kids at Christmas, easily excited! :D

Sorry guys... :o

But I'm still getting 4. :p :D
Odds are pretty good that KW will limit purchases to 2, as they have with many of their hotter exclusives.

Same here. I'm actually surprised - this one feels years overdue. :spyder:
