Judging by the CTS-204P sprint, I doubt you will see any Para2 sprint actually released in 2013.

I read a Shot Show report from a knife vendor who said that new exclusives, and I think it mentioned sprints as well, were going to be put on "pause" until Spyderco clears up existing orders/backorders.

How many months has it been without an ample supply of Para2s? A lot.

That's what Spyderco told the vendor they would not be doing. :) I guess the benefit is less pressure on the finances. :D

Ti Para2 isn't enough for you? :D
You should probably buy a regular one, or see if you can snag an S35VN one (brown scales).

Wasn't that a proto, though? If it is, it could be years away. :(

Don't think we will be seeing any USA produced models with Super Blue. As I understand it they don't like shipping their raw material cutlery steel out of country.
Current :spyder: : Para2's Brown, Blue & Orange, Etched Spin, CF Caly3 ZDP189, Gayle Bradley, UKPK Orange G10, Manix2 M4, Sage 1, Caly 3.5 in Super Blue, Urban Orange G10

You know whats funny? I've had a PM2 for a long time, and I keep on hearing that they are hard to find. It's funny because now that they aren't available, I kind of want another one even more. Weird....

But yeah, I want a special PM2 as well... I find it extremely hard to find sprints in Canada... a lot of the websites are American based and some don't even ship outside of USA. It's really unfortunate but I wish I could be in the loop a bit more often because it seems like a lot of people get the Sprints much faster than me, so fast that they are sold out before I even know. I wish Spyderco or some type of website had a mailing list that would let me know that they had them in stock, or good websites to preorder them at... ?

Do any other fellow Canadians have luck finding sprints? If so please chime in with good websites or suggestions!
Spyderco please make a wire clip version of the Manbug/Ladybug!

I would give my left ... handed Sebenza for Ti Para 2.

If I was right handed it would require more thought.

I kind of had some services issues a couple of times (with Canadian dealers) as I result I tried Blade HQ. Very impressed came quick no hassles, lots of stock, great price and good service. I will order from them again.

What are their shipping prices like? I kind of hate how you have to email or call them. Do they use Fedex or UPS at least? How about duty fees? No offence to the Americans, but USPS sucks for international to Canada. They take forever, and you get no tracking!
