I got one of the last M390's from BBS and glad I did, I had to purchase my Orange Para2 on the secondary market and it hurt to pay a small premium over the pre-order price but that was the price I had to pay for missing out on the pre-order. Orange is my favorite color making me a sucker for any knife with Orange G10 slabs. You can't go wrong with any of the Para2's so pull that trigger!!!
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

Funny, I was about ready to type the exact same thing until I noticed that I had been beat to the punch.

Of cause pull the trigger, but I would never pay for orange (favorite color) or blue para near double price to compare with standard production. I would get regular para. S30V is a very good steel.

Even though I am hardly the example of moderation when it comes to pursuit of the next great steel from Spyderco, I would have to urge restraint, unless you don't have any decent blades currently :-) . You know there will always be another sprint run of something neat, or some newer-better version of an old standby, and if you keep coming in here to keep up with new announcements, you'll have a better chance of placing an order when they are available for a decent price. It just takes patience. Unless you have a very large discretionary income to purchase them on the secondary market :-) .
