CS Exclusive Orange Paramilitary 2 DLC CTS-XHP

[JNewell]

And I have been stuck at a meeting at my corp office listening to my COO and VP blathering on about the company I have worked at for 15 years and will probably work there another 20, all the while I am just sitting there thinking "can I be excused? CS sprint has dropped". Oh well, at least my career is hopefully furthered even though my collection is screwed for the time being !!

I assume you are all set with however many you wanted now?

I'm tempted to do a blade and hardware swap with my S110V para. A black and blue XHP and an orange S110V sound pretty sweet to me.

Sounds awesome to me too!

A buck seventy five is a bit high for me this close to Christmas. Considering the S110v is $159 and this one is DLC it is not overpriced just more than I can throw down with twin 7 year old hoping Santa makes it rain

Really diggin the color combo on this one and looking forward to trying out CTS-XHP for the first time.

It's a very "likeable" steel. It does everything well, is forgiving, and easy to work with. I like it a hair better than S30V. It doesn't have the foibles that S90V or CPM-M4 have. It's a terrific all-around steel.

Fair enough, was responding to being stuck in a meeting.

If it'd been priced like the last CS orange Para2, imagine what would be going on over at eBay. :eek:

Yeah I can't find it either. Searched a number of different ways...my eBay skills suck.

[adam569]

There was I thought I watched it but can't seem to find now myself the collector number was 002 I think

[Tdog]

These are selling very well. I ordered one yesterday evening and later decided to order another. A couple of hours later my order # showed approx. 70 orders made in that time. Presuming many of the orders placed were for the Para 2, if some ordered more that one over a hundred could have easily been sold. These won't last long.

They took it off and put it back up for buy it now just search paramilitary2

[RamZar]

I relented and got one from CS. Smooth sale. "Needed" a new Halloween knife!

[GoldenSpydie]

Yeah, it's $200 BIN while they're available for $175 from the retailer. What a joke...sadly though, some poor fool will probably buy it. :rolleyes:

That seller could just wait like 5 days and sell it for $300 honestly. You know it's true, lol.

Indeed. I don't understand how some people fail to get a decent deal, especially when the knife is available for a few days. I mean, if someone is willing to pay that much for a collector's item/sprint, you would assume that that person has to be at least somewhat educated in Spydercos. I guess I never will understand how the sprints/exclusives can sell (or even be listed) for well over the original price on Ebay while the dealer still has them in stock... :confused:

Ebay craziness waiting on mine from cs along with my candy

[NiallRiv]

It appears to me someone must have already bought it, or it was taken down again, because I'm not seeing it.

These were interesting but had to consider the upcoming M4 model in natural jade G10 (something I very much like) and the new S110V. Both at lower price points and with better steels. And that might have made me question CS's pricing except for the fact that they will sell every single one rather quickly. Shows what I know about retail..

[bh49]

I believe that it still available

I agree with you here. The S110 is a production model, so the pricing and sales of that will be a different metric after the initial rush dies down. CS's pricing is definitely on the high end for this model, especially considering what BHQ is going to sell the M4 model for, but I think it's fair to say that a PM2 sprint in a premium steel will never be a hard sell. Plus you have to factor in the immediate gratification dynamic of retail, that being that THIS PM2 is avaliable now, while the M4 is not. :D
