The pocket clip, clip screws, and assembly screws are all black. The liners and stand-offs are uncoated.

Stay safe,

Mike,

Is there a reason that the liners and stand-offs are not coated. Wouldn't it look more uniform if they were?

Yeah I never got that myself. It was like that for years with the DLC Military. If you're gonna go black go all black. I may see about Cerakoting the liners on mine. At least they're nested so they won't show as much.

I don't get it either. I also have no influence over that decision. I'm just trying to let people know what to expect if they purchase one.

Stay safe,

Mike

Emerson does that on all of his knives too, Black G-10, Black Blade, ....shiny steel locks and liners. :confused:

*Now that I think about it, I remember someone saying that DLC liners make it harder to have a nice fit and finish somehow.

I'm sure the added layer of coating has an effect on tolerances but Spyderco do have fully blacked out knives.

I can't recall the exact thread, but someone was saying something to effect of (paraphrasing) "The fit and finish on the new all Black karahawk is not as nice as the fit and finish on the regular karahawk". And the explanation given was the DLC liners make it impossible to sand things down after the knife is assembled, so it doesn't fit together quite as seamlessly as the regular karahawk does. I could see that influencing the decision to leave the liners shiny.

Yeah that makes sense, you couldn't do a back lock in DLC and get it as seamless as you could if you did that extra step after assembly. I guess it depends on the model because I don't recall any issues on my Manix 2 and it was all blacked out.

Expected release date August 9.
Pre/order placed. One fewer to keep track of in the cavalcade of Spydies.
Now, back to caballos

Well, I'm pretty slow meself. As in Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Though I have been called half-fast from time to time.

Where are y'all preordering?

Given this was sponsored by a distributor will we see this for sale at all the usual on line knife stores?

I think only through distributors of JB Outman. Just Google JB Outman Yojimbo 2.

Pre-order placed! Really a decent price for what you are getting. I can see these selling out quick.

Or you can google the part number; C85GPBNBK2

:spyder:

Welp, there goes the money I had set aside for the Chinook 4. :eek: pre-ordered. :D

Yeah, it looks great. Do I really need another S90V Yo 2? I guess I do

The only place I can find it is DLT trading. Is that where you guys are preordering?
