Yes! Thanks for sharing that. I thought it was weird that they were doing it in batches.Fallen wrote:Looks like they're not splitting this into batches anymore.
From their website:
A email from Spyderco tell us that whey will ship 1000 pieces out on Thursday 08/04/2016 with shipping time we should receive these on Tuesday 9th or Wednesday 10th. So as of now all orders will be filled and shipped next week.

Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
I think they only planned to do it in batches because they expected to receive the knives in batches. I'm sure they'll have a fun time packing and shipping close to 1,000 knives sometime next week.Liquid Cobra wrote:Yes! Thanks for sharing that.

I've been sooooo tempted to get one of these, but decided to grab an S110V Millie for $50 less.

Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
I'm with you. Considering cancelling my pm2 and getting one of those s110's. I have 7 PM2's already and only 2 Millie's. What to do what to do. But then again I could get both and easily sell either I think. Hmmmm
Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
I wonder how many of these are left?
Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
790 (just asked) I was curious how it would sell. This knife was requested in 2013, 2014 & got the green light at SHOT 2015.
Hard to predict with so many other knives being released between then and now..... Glad it finally got built.

Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
I'm always interested in how fast a model will sell. I noticed that on bladeforums yesterday that someone listed his orange Positron for sale at $120 and it didn't sell for over an hour. Kind of amazing when a new exclusive is slow to sell at a deep discount. What a bomb.
Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
These things are relative. They probably have a higher margin on this than the rest of their stock of PM2s, and these are probably selling many times faster than those as well. So from that standpoint, these are selling great.ABX2011 wrote:I'm always interested in how fast a model will sell.

If your exclusive sells out in a few hours or days all that tells you is that you could have charged more. I'm not privy to the details of a retail business, but if you asked me if I could sell out my exclusive in 1-2 hours or charge $10 more and sell out in 1-2 weeks, I'd probably choose the weeks, since the financial result is almost identical, it's less prone to orders being mishandled or delayed, less likely to break any sort of server or payment processing, etc. And when you think about it, you got paid less to have the fire drill and deal with all the hassles.
Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
Yeah, I think Knifeworks did everyone a solid by limiting 1 per person. BHQ is also a first rate company but they priced theirs on the low side and with a 3 per person limit they encouraged flipping which we've seen a lot of. Knifeworks will sell out of the PM2 in a week or so.tvenuto wrote:These things are relative.

Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
If I could buy a 2nd of the Knifeworks exclusive PM2, I would.
Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
The only reason it hasn't sold out is the limit of 1. I don't feel like the BHQ price was all that low for what it was, personally. It was about right, but many people bought three and it's a lower price which means a lot for some people. Years from now, I think the CF version will be in much greater demand.
Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
I personally think that exclusives and sprints are supposed to be recognizable as soon as they are looked at. The fact that TWO other PM2 sprints are out there that look EXACTLY like this knife, doesn't do it any favors IMO.Cujobob wrote:The only reason it hasn't sold out is the limit of 1.

Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
Except that those you're referring to are in huge demand. I would agree with you if not for that. I think many people have a self imposed limit which prevents from going $200+.jalcon wrote:I personally think that exclusives and sprints are supposed to be recognizable as soon as they are looked at.

Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
Its a deal. I could probably ebay my CF S90v PM2's for $800 or $900 bucks ea.
But I dont.
So the price is right. Price is based on Retail / Dealer cost.
Down the road folks will read this thread and pull their hair out. $219. lol lol

Re: Knifeworks M4 PM2!
Well, I started this thread and declared that I would get quite a few a these, since I had forever fought for an M4 PM2. I got the BHQ ones, and I am not sure about this one. Weird how I changed direction on this exclusive simply because of a different offering.
So...should I still get one of these, even though I got several of the other variant? :confused: Ah, the dilemna.
For once, I just can't come up with any reasons why I should get this. The other one has scales that I like better, was cheaper, and will likely be very collectable in its own right in a few years. I'm kind of sick of peel ply CF, and that is the only thing that makes this one different from the cheaper BHQ version.
Will I regret passing on this knife that I was so excited about when it was announced?
