I might be more interested in the black blade digicam, but I'm not sure how the black coating will hold up. I know most people view the black coating wear as character for the knife, but I'm in the minority. Can anyone offer any experience to how the black coating wears? I have yet to own a spyderco with the DLC coating.

Thanks
I believe kw has the digicam satin and the black black model in stock...i think the satin blade black g10 is still on pre order though

Also, I'm not a huge fan of black blades, but I have a few from spyderco and I have to say that their coating holds up the best of any other brand I've tried. Plus, if it gets worn you can send it in to their "spa" for some treatment and it will come back looking like new.

Just ordered para2 satin digicam from KW. I normally order through KC but I figured if so many people on here order from KW it should be reputable. Thanks for the tip and I'm pumped to get this knife!

Anyone get a message from KC about the Gray G-10 Carpenter steel shipping in a week? I received an email from them stating that it will be shipping in the next 5-7 days...

In the meantime, I received my Digi-Camo from Howe's today and it is AWESOME!!! Thanks again Jim, this one is perfect. :)

67nick,

My digicam also arrived today. Been tracking it since J.H. sent out the tracking info last week! Anyhow, it's a very familiar blade to me now, as I've been carrying the black version of it around since I received it a few weeks ago. I really like this one, and just the speed at which the blade deploys on this model. I'd say that it is just as fast as the Manix 2 in terms of speed.

I've got my pre-order in for the Carpenter steel/Grey version, but I'm not holding my breath on that one. I'll be looking for a deal if my p.o. falls through.

Tracked mine too and it arrived today, as scheduled. No sticky lock or blemishes and the blade is perfectly centered! I really like the semi-translucent look of the camo scales, for me that aspect of the design makes the knife really come together nicely. This one's not going to be an EDC. ;)

Like I said, I received a email from KC this evening that the Carpenter steel/Grey version was shipping soon so maybe the next sprint run is headed our way earlier than we had anticipated. I checked the forums and nobody's mentioned it so I'm guessing it hasn't been released yet. We shall see...

No emails here. Hope yours does ship in 5-7 days though.

False alarm, I spoke to KC today and the email was just to let me know that they would receive some one day. Dang! :(

I got that e-mail too about the translucent blue manix I ordered. Sucks to hear the e-mail was basically for nothing.

I have one ordered from Howes, it should be here Thursday. :D I can't wait to compare the Para l to the Para ll. I feel sure I will like the ll better, but from what I have read, I might like the first one the best. :eek: Only time will tell.

I just got my para2 (black g10 w/satin blade) an hour ago. This model is not a homerun, it's a grand slam! It's so nice I'm going to have to buy it twice!

What a coincidence, my black G10 w satin blade P2 just got delivered as well. Mine locks up solid as a rock and seems pretty smooth. Very heavy duty little knife. Very nice, indeed.

(Just wish the blade was about 1/4 to 1/3rd inch longer with keeping the current handle size. Seems like that could have been done. Jmo.)

This is one I'm really wanting as well...a good idea would be I think is to buy the digi camo and black with g10 and swap the blades..that way you would have a digi camo with black blade and a satin g10 blade.

All the flavors will be available at some point, not sure I would go to this expense and hassle to get versions that will be out soon anyway.
