I just placed an order. I never thought we'd see red g-10 on a non-trainer.

Just saw this! Pretty cool. Target ship date is 11/20. Price is $150, and if you buy 2 or more, you save $10 per knife.
Looks awesome!

Great price @ $140 if 2 are bought. K390 would have been a cool change from M390.

Ordered as both the steel and color are awesome. My BBS M390 needs a little rest as it is my most used knife.

Canceling my Maxamet preorder ? :( :mad:

Hope it is more maroon or crimson than red.

That’s hot! I like it.
I’m moving away from pm2 and more to the p3 or calys. Not sure I’m in on this one but I like the concept.

I agree on both statements, hope they are still around when i get the funds. Despite a lackluster attraction to the Para 2 this is a winner for me.

I don't need another PM2 but I'd certainly consider a Para 3 like this!

I’m all over this. I suspect the red g10 will be the same as what they’re using on their trainers. The new Yojimbo 2 trainer is a dark red and kind of translucent like the blurple g10.

Here’s my blade swap:

Most recently acquired: Military 2, Paramilitary 2 Tanto x2, YoJUMBO, Swayback, Siren, DLC Yojimbo 2, Native Chief, Shaman S90V, Para 3 LW, Ikuchi, UKPK, Smock, SUBVERT, Amalgam, Para 3 CTS-XHP, Kapara, Paramilitary 2 M390
Grail Paramilitary 2 M390 X 2! ACHIEVED!!

Really tempting. What a deal compared to the BBS smurf. Their $20 discount really encourages flipping.

IMO this is the best PM2 since the Jade/M4 at BHQ - I missed that one, won't miss this one!

It's been quite a while since a newly acquired Spyderco knife has overwhelmed me like my M390 Military model has over the past few months. It overtook a couple of really dearly loved folders that I had used for years. But that M390 blade steel truly made a believer out of me. And YES!! I would very much like to see some more Spyders with an M390 blade. I'm also getting curious as to whether or not it might be a good steel for Spyderedges. However for a lot of reasons I believe XHP might be better for that edge type.

I could name off about 10 Spyderco models that I would really love to see in M390. A C-60 Ayoob in M390 would immediatey become my EDC.

Now I'm not categorically saying that M390 is the best of the best but it has sure performed extremely well for me and I'm a big fan of the steel.
