I just ordered the two from the get-go, I knew that I would regret not doing so. Just like you said, I really wish I would have ordered two Caly 3 sprints instead of the one...I put a patina and a re-profiled edge on it and am now a little disappointed in the results...wish I had another one now.Liquid Cobra wrote:Couldn't get back to sleep, and kept reading this thread until I saw your post Donut. You didn't say anything I didn't already know but it was enough to tip me over the edge to get my credit card out for a second time this morning.
I kept thinking about the horrible grind I put on my CPM 154/S90V PM2 and how I really don't enjoy the knife anymore because of it. Basically S90V kicked my a$$, if that happened again but to a CF Yo2 I don't think I could handle it. Time to settle the score :cool:
I've had plenty of practice, which is why I thought I could do this one. It came from the factory with different angles on each side, I was trying to even it out. I ended up taking off way to much steel and also lost much of the tip. I actually sharpened it for so long on my 120 stone that I got into the CPM 154 near the tip which you can kind of see in this photo (on one side)Donut wrote:That sucks. Practice sharpening on some cheaper knives.
Would you care to share a picture of the grind? I can show you how badly I messed up the edge on my S90V Mule with a guided sharpener. :)
How are you tracking this, some sort of wizardry?MCM wrote:For those who like to keep track, (103) / 800 YO2's and (24) /50 M2XL's have been preordered 30 minutes into it.
Fun stuff! :)
Don't forget about the option for a second batch of 400.ohcyclist wrote:Excellent points on why to order two. Perhaps I will modify my order. Impossible to get later is hard to argue with.

Then I grinded down the spine to bring back the tip. This is what it looks like now. It's not terrible, it just..bugs me :roll eyes:
Especially when I think about how awesome it was when I first got it...
Brother I have tried and tried to sell it and break even. Unfortunately I bought it new from my local B+M for $550 tax included. They knew exactly what they had and wanted to cash in as much as possible, can't blame them. So I would have to sell it at a pretty good loss, which I guess I am willing to do but I'm not sure anyone would be willing to buy it.Evil D wrote:1) You can probably still sell it and at least break even
2) This is partly why I hate laminate knives and why I had no interest in this one.
No, just ordered one Yo2... I don't usually buy more than one, and I rarely sell knives, so if I ever get two it's because ones a user and one serves as backup. I have so much yummy S90V and S110V that I certainly don't need two of these Yo2's.DougC-3 wrote:Is one of those "dones" for the XL? The price for it didn't show up on my laptop until about 8:02.
I always thought there was something fishy about the distribution of this model.Liquid Cobra wrote:Brother I have tried and tried to sell it and break even.

As far as I know the Manix 2 XL s90v exclusive was thought to be over already and these 50 knives, which are probably about gone now, are just some that Spyderco was able to come up with somehow.sir_mike wrote:So how many Manix 2 XL's in s90 are going to be produced?
Is this one worth getting? Is is capable to be a "hard" user or jusr light to medium?
Thx.
