Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
I think we need a Vanax PM2. If you follow me on instagram you are well aware of my campaign to get this done. I know Sal is here and Spyderco doesn't interact on IG. I would love to see this happen.
We are hoping for a full true stainless PM2 with Vanax Steel.
Titanium Scales (like the copper PM2 but with titanium and more machined cuts to reduce weight).
Titanium Lock Bar for the compression lock.
Titanium Hardware (could be coated where titanium isn't a good idea).
Shipped Tip Up (ok now the demands are crazy but I had to try).
This will be my shark stabbing knife. I really need a good one.

Hi, pm2og:
Welcome to our forum. We do interact on IG, but we typically interact more with those who are respectful. You'll find that disparaging remarks directed at our crew don't usually garner our attention.
There is a wealth of information here on our forum, and we are fortunate to have an incredible community. And yes, Sal is here regularly. We hope you enjoy your time with us.

Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
And an MSRP of $600...
I would love to see Spyderco start using Vanax, though. Sal intimated that a Mule would probably come before any other models.

I'm going to say it is highly unlikely to happen. There is no way I would buy one, sorry.

Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
No more PM2s, please. I'm all for Vanax. But, I'm over the PM2. There are enough variants to arm half the country. :D

Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
No idea what Vanax is, but at that price...I'm out! I don't think any steel that expensive can really be THAT MUCH BETTER than something like 4V or Rex45. Something that extreme, what the heck would you use it for!?
15 's in 10 different steels

1 - Monterey Bay Knives Slayback Flipper / ZDP 189
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays
1 - CRK Large Inkosi Insingo/ Black Micarta Inlays

Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
I've seen far too much disrespect from you on Instagram towards Spyderco.
Hopefully your contributions here on the forum will be different.

Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
I would have love to have heard from you before this post. I have been campaigning for PM2s on IG for over 2 years. I dont know if you saw any of the hundreds of 10V posts? I am obviously a fan. Would love to have a conversation. I am actually really easy to talk to. My posts get attention. I admit Im a bit attention seeking some call it being a troll. Its my flaw. Love you. -Josh (thats my real name)TazKristi wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 2:05 pmHi, pm2og:

Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
I cannot follow you on Instagram because you blocked me. I assume it was for calling you out on some of your shenanigans.
How much do you plan on flipping a Vanax Para2 for?

Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
Disrespect is relative. I have literally sold thousands of knives for spyderco by testing and promotion. I have much respect. Im also very deliberate and honest in the way i talk and interact. I have hate thrown at me every day. I deal. Its the way of communication in the new age. The older people get the less they understand it. Its evolution of communication.
Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
I dont sell knives unless I buy something I dont use then decide to sell. I used to but no longer have time. You are trying to shame me because you feel entitled and just want someone to bully. Your comment is proof that I probably made the right choice in blocking.bearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 2:38 pmI cannot follow you on Instagram because you blocked me.

Hi Josh,
Welcome to our forum.
We have no plans at this time to use Vanax. We may in the future, but it would probably be a Mule Team to see reaction to the materials. I have a Vanax Mule Team (proto) in my kitchen that I use regularly. I'm familiar with the material.

Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
I know they usually run the mule first. Lets get that going. It sounds like from his other posts (ive actually been on here for a long time under an old name) he is having trouble getting a sample. I wonder if there is a production issue due to covid. Nothing moves fast but I think this is the future so we shall see.The Meat man wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 2:06 pmAnd an MSRP of $600...

Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
Although a VANAX PM2 would be interesting, maybe the other side of the spectrum can be addressed first. Perhaps a budget version of the PM2 similar to the Para 3 LW?

Thank you for the response. I also had a knife from Shannon Steel Labs that I tested extensively and then my wife used in the kitchen for about 6 months then I let someone else take it from there. I see Chinese companies and Russian companies using it and I realize its expensive but in this format would be extremely popular. I was on a Search and Dive Rescue team for several years and can see the benefits of a tough steel that is fully stainless. I would love to see a PM2 or 3LW in LC200N as a stepping stone to Vanax. From your testing on the Proto Vanax what are your impressions? Obviously a fan of your work -Josh
Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
Man, am I oldschool... never ever been on Instagram (nor on Facebook, Twitter...for that matter) and this forum is the only one I am active on.
So I have no idea what is/was going on Instagram and can just say 'welcome to the forum'.
Will have to look up what Vanax is like. No idea either tbh... :o

Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
Im sorry you feel that way. Its just me.
Re: Vanax PM2 Lets Do This!!!
Old School is a good school. Thank you for the warm welcome. Vanax is amazing. It is a nitrogen steel that is truly stainless with similar edge retention as Elmax and the toughness of s35vn. really amazing.Wartstein wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 3:07 pmMan, am I oldschool... never ever been on Instagram (nor on Facebook, Twitter...for that matter) and this forum is the only one I am active on.
