For those of you that have yours already does it have the same kind of rougher g10 that the blue m390 version has?

New Tip for everyone - I order mine on January 3rd and have not heard anything. I called the 800# yesterday and they ask for my order and credit card number and said it would go out right away. Tracking shows that they shipped it out right away and I should have it tomorrow or Monday. If you have not heard from them just give them a call.

For all you who are upset about the multiple Para2's.... Do your research first. There was not a limit on how many could be purchased.

Do you think people would be able to proceed though checkout with more than 2 in the cart or that Jeff would ship three paras in one box?

Yep, there was no limit on the orange sprint para.

Oh great there's been a delay is my shipment.

I got mine today. I LOVE the color. It really makes me want a Dodo now! I own the M390 version too. And although the Orange CS version is VERY good FF and function, I still give the edge to the M390. Both are WAY above average, but the smoothness of the M390 when you open and close it, even out of the box, is out of this world.

For those of you wondering if mine is a user or not...as soon as I opened the box with the knives in it I took it out and cut open the other bubble envelope that I got in the mail. I didn't even look the knife over. I just took it out of the plastic, opened it up, and started cutting.

So I am still a bit confused. I emailed the seller from the bay and this was the reply.

"They do have quite a few models where they produce limited editions, all numbered. Just another marketing tool so they can get better prices! We get most of them although I believe they are not available to most distributors.HOWEVER, here's the bad news. All the numbered editions sell like crazy and I just went to check we still had this model and we don't. Sorry - all sold now and we can't get any more.If you buy anything, please click on or copy and paste this link to go to our eBay store.

I assume that this vendor is probably a bit confused about the CC program. Not sure though. I don't understand the "we get most of them" part?

They must have sold the ones you were referring to in the auction. You might want to check their feedback as it seems to be noted about pay now, told out of stock later or other excuse!

I have to agree, Alchemy. I just got a Smurf the other day, and Dang! That sucker just lives to be opened. Smoothest Spydie I have.
Here's hoping my orange (which was just shipped :D ) will be comparable.

Maybe the vendor bought a Dremel and put the "edition number" on the blade himself. :eek:
Stranger things have happened...

Confused would be the most optimistic view.

^ After re-reading that, I think the seller was trying to say that they get CC versions of most knife models. Not All the CC pieces of one particular knife.

^ This is true. just got off the phone with someone at CS, very polite guy. took my Order # , cc # and exp date. Told me it would be in NJ by this time next week.

I too was under the impression that there was a limit of two knives, maybe it was only 2 knives per order. :confused:

not too worried though since I got one and it will be on its way.
