These are going fast! Let's see if they will sell out faster than the 12 days it took the Cutlery Shoppe Orange XHP. Better get while the goings are good.
I'm doing my part, just upped my order from one to two.

I found a chart that explains some of the Carpenter steels Here.
My favorite Spyderco knives include: Caly 3.5, Chaparral, Delica 4 FFG, Stretch, Para-Military 2, Endura 4 FFG, Manix 2 & Manix 2 XL!

That's a great chart. Thanks for uploading! I didn't know CTS-XHP had a higher corrosion resistance than CTS-20CP. Can't wait for this para :D

Why just stick to 2 ;P

There are you happy now? I ordered another one. ****... that means no Candiru when it comes out, only 1 of the new alox colored Cadets, and save save save. They better go for more than I paid 6 months after release :P

I think that this one will put the PM2 ahead of the Manix2 sprints I have. Anyway, looking forward to getting this one!

This has me considering cancelling my Ernie PM2 order in favor of this one. Better steel for ~$30 more.

I'm sure JNewell knows how to get around that limit if he wanted to, but what is he going to do with them, flip them for a profit? ;)

You mean I could do that? Get around the 2/customer limit, then scalp them on eBay for twice my money or more? That sounds like such a great idea! :rolleyes:

If I may appeal to the gentlemanly side of anyone ordering extras for profit, Roger could have sold only half of them this way and trickled the rest out on auction sites and forums later at a higher price, but he chose to spread the love at a normal & fair business level mark-up. He put a limit of 2 in order to get them into the hands of as many enthusiasts as possible.

I ordered two and may sell one at a profit at some point, and will take as much profit as bidders are willing to allow, and I hope for a couple of rich dumb guys to fight over it. So this isn't an anti profit rant. Just a request to think it over before going around the 2 per person limit.

I hope it's coming through, but maybe it's not. At least a couple of us are posting entirely as humor.
