Oooh I like that blue! :D

It's limited in number.
And they know people will pay it.

Especially that last! Oh welll...

Looks like the blue from the Sage 3, which was a little lighter than the Manix 2. I liked the Manix 2 better, but...for M390, I'm in either way or some other way altogether.

Hehehehe, yes, me too. :D

I like dealer runs because they aren't sold out in 10 seconds and scalped on eBay. I like contemplating on a $160ish knife instead of preordering and waiting.

See above post. GPK has some. It's just south of Narnia.

Understood and noted. Still, getting the steel in a Griptillian for $90?

That **** knife is so beautiful, but my wallet is so empty! :mad:

I was thinking of the Barrage. I forgot about the Grip. I guess there are a few options.

The point was I was just wondering if BBS typically has higher prices on sprints. No offense to the Spyder sensitive. I still bleed web like the rest of you.

Edit. I was wrong about the Barrage. "Cmon guys let's get him. :) "

Hope you don't mind, but I gotta steal that from ya! Awesome quote! :D

They seem to have a little bit higher prices overall, but yes, the sprints are higher priced than other places. I think that the price still isn't that bad.

These coming out before the M390 millie?

The Para2 M390 is about a 70% in price. The grip about a 50% increase.

This is why I like FRN models as sprints. I know M390 is a modern sophisticated super steel...but ZDP-189 is available to people who don't want to rob a bank :p .

Isn't that the one that sold out like six months ago, a 200 piece run??? :confused:

Yes indeed it is ... I had one.

WOOO!! Saved up for this one! Looks great!

Uggh I already have two m390 cf milis on preorder, along with a fluted ti mili, and a yojimbo 2. Why did you have to show us this thread?

Look at KW, they have a P2 in CTS-204P with Green handles coming up,
same as Duratech 20CV/ or M390??

cheers,
Guy

Only this morning I was wondering why on Earth the handles would be made in Earth Grey colored G-10 and not in a nifty color like blue.

Oh well, my prayers were answered this morning.....cool color too.
