Why is the Para-Military2 (pm2) listed @ $169 at the store (online catalog) and $199 on Spyderco’s 2010 catalog (catalog misprint)? Which is the correct price? I’m assuming $169 as that’s what I paid.
Is it possible that the price on the pm2 will go up to $199 MSRP?
TIA

Hi Joe,

This seems to be a popular question. Spyderco is experimenting with lower margins on some models to see if the lower retail price will increase volume sufficiently to carry the difference.

So in other words get one ASAP in case it doesn't work and MSRP is bumped back up. :D

Too bad it's out of stock everywhere.

i guess that lower price thing is working then :)

Thanks Sal! :spyder: :)

FWIW, the :spyder: PM2 is one high-quality, ergonomic and (mine came to me) ferociously-sharp knife, a sure winner in my book! :cool:

thanks sal. i think the PM2 is priced just right to be competitive with competitor's non-afi hard use folders, and its better to boot. hope this becomes one of spyderco's most successful models and reaches a broad audience.
