Spyderco Paramilitary 2 availability
Spyderco Paramilitary 2 availability
Ive been having a difficult time finding this knife, but I did place an order for the Paramilitary 2 from Cutlery Shoppe the other day for $91.75, but its on backorder. I emailed them asking when it will be in stock, the guy said he didnt know. So, Im wondering are there any other websites that have this knife in stock, and was anyone on here able to buy this knife for less than $91.75? Also anyone have any experiences with Cutlery Shoppe, is it a reputable business?
Cutlery Shoppe is VERY reputable. Excellent service. But, you've picked a knife that is very popular and in short supply. But, I expect eventually production will catch up with demand. You're in the same boat as many people. A lot of people have long-standing back orders. You can definitely feel secure doing business with Cutlery Shoppe.
KnifeWorks is pre-order only and $104.95.
I'm waiting for one too and no one seems to have them yet.

Jeff, the owner seems to have a following at Blade forum. Do a Cutlery Shoppe review search and you'll get results. They seem fine.Also anyone have any experiences with Cutlery Shoppe, is it a reputable business?
CS does the initial charge on your credit card then the charge is erased. Once it's about to ship it is then charged again. I think they do the initial charge to make sure the funds are there.
That really is a good price but I guess I'm one of the few who are not totally happy with CS. I did a pre-order on the Orange Manix 2 on Oct.13. They e-mailed me a week and a half ago to ask for my phone number so they could ship it. I replied immediately and it still hasn't shipped. I did e-mail them Dec.29 to see when it's shipping and got a reply the same day "They're in process now". Don't have a shipping notice yet. Maybe this week.

CS's price is about as low as you can get short of becoming a dealer yourself I'd imagine.
As for the charge, it could be just a "holder" charge, where the software put a temporary hold on fund to see if your card has the fund available, and doesn't go through with it. It shows up in your online record, but goes away after a few days since no money was transferred.

They are great for people who live in u.s. but slow shipping is a common complaint for people order from outside u.s.angusW wrote:

I have given up on trying to find one of these knives. The miserable experience I have had trying to acquire one absolutely killed any possible enjoyment I would get from owning this knife.

Whats WW? I just joined the forum the other day, Ive noticed while reading several other threads almost no one will type the actual store name without abreviations. Is it an unspoken rule no one mentions a Spyderco dealers name on this forum? :Djzmtl wrote:WW is getting them too, looks like new batch is out.

Warriors and Wonders. They are based out of Canada and are reputable. We do tend to shorten the names to abbreviations here on the forums, so I'll provide a few translations below.NexusS wrote:Whats WW?

WW=Warriors and Wonders (good for Canadians)
CS=Cutlery Shoppe
KC=Knife Center
KW=Knife Works
GPK=Grand Prairie Knives
NGK=New Graham Knives (often referred to as "The Pharmacy")
Tom=Tom Berry of spydercovt
YCS=Your Corner Store
STP=Sierra Trading Post
Cutlery Shoppe tends to get their knives in a few days later than the other dealers (or at least they post them up a few days after some of the other dealers), but tends to be a little bit cheaper. I've bought from Jeff (the owner of Cutlery Shoppe) a few times and have only positive experiences to report.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but the second run of Para 2's hasn't really hit yet. A lot of the "new" ones I saw hitting were new old stock, with only a few from Nov or dec. I think we're going to start seeing them in stock quite a bit more starting this week or next week. At least, according to the guy I have it pre-ordered with (howesknifeshop.com, check them out if interested, they are great and have free shipping), apparently the next run of Para 2's should hopefully be shipping this week! So be patient, because anyone looking for a Para 2 is in much better shape than I was last August, when there was basically nothing coming up. I'm betting that within 2-3 weeks, many Para 2 searchers will be satisfied. I hope so

I placed a preorder for a PM2 in early Nov at Cutlery Shoppe. I got an email last Tues that it was shipping. It was in the mailbox on Friday evening (just in time for New Years). Last I looked their site said it was on backorder. I doubt they received enough to satisfy all their orders.
This was my first dealings with CS in a long time. I am pretty happy with them. They kept me notified of when it was going to ship.
Hang in there. They will ship them when they get them.
