Haven't seen any yet, but look up photos of the 20CP version and you will pretty much have it.

That's just a mock-up... no diamond pattern, no blade markings.

Thank you guys for the links of the picture. At first, I didn't think I would care, but after seeing its potential, I'm going to have to pre-order.

It should be just like the M2 sprint, I wonder if it will be the exact same color

Depends on where you are at on the pre-order list and from who, once they start dropping and if your quick enough and manage to grab one other than pre-order than not really any longer than a normal order take to ship. No one really know the exact date they will drop, it usually just happens and all of a sudden and folks will report right quick like around here. :)

Looks like KW has stopped taking preorders until they know exactly how many they will receive. Glad I got my preorder in there when they were still taking them!

Also their page says they expect them in October, not October/November like KC. Here's hoping for October!

I haven't dealt with KW on any preorders before. Are they pretty good about filling them if
you already have your confirmation number?
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.

And to top it off out of the blue my blurple s110 PM2 developed a terrible lock stick today. Tried everything to get rid of it, but major finger numbing click to unlock now. Me and PM2's just aren't getting along.

But give me a cruwear Millie and I would be in.
Get some nano-oil and put it on the bottom part of the stop pin where the lock interfaces. Completely removed my lock stick :)

Thanks BTG, done on the edge pro, Cruwear really is one of my favorite steels, takes a great polished edge and seems to hold it for a long time with not too much work. I cant wait for this sprint to drop, I have a feeling they are going to be every bit as nice as the M2's. :)

I don't have much experience with KW and preorders, but they seem to be good about only taking as many preorders as they can fill. I doubt they took very many Cruwear preorders from how quickly they made it unavailable, so if you got a preorder in with them for a Cruwear PM2 I would bet you'll get one. KC on the other hand seems to take preorders indefinitely, and hasn't always been able to fill the demand on Sprints, which I why I switched my preorder from KC to KW.

I haven't tried Cruwear yet but there's no better time to start than right now. I like the diamond pattern too.

Price isn't bad either. Preorder in.

I bet it will be identical. I hope so anyway.

I'm on the fence on this one. Already have two PM2s and am favoring the Manix more and more over time, (full ambi,) but I like the light gray and diamond weave scales so much on my Cruwear Manix that I may not be able to pass this up.
