Got mine. Super psyched as Jeff has the best price on them I've seen anywhere.

He was limiting to 1 per customer.

Looks like he took them off his site altogether.

That's an impressive sell out if he was limiting them to one per person. Good man to try to spread the wealth as best he could.

Huh....and just a week or so ago there was a thread talking about how the Para 2 would NEEEVAR be sold for less than $150 again and how we all had to suck it up and pay $175 for one if we wanted one.

Like I said in that thread, be patient. Production will catch up. It has been this way since this knife was released. Production will catch up eventually.

I totally agree with you EvilD. If people really want to spend $175+ to get a para 2 more power to them, but if they are patient and keep their eyes open they can find them at good prices.

Once Spyderco gets the extra factory space & capacity up and running that they've been working on, I'm guessing things will change.

Very cool some of you were able to score a para 2! I managed to snag an all black one a few weeks back at opticsplanet and it hasn't left my pocket since. The attention to detail and fit and finish that goes into the para 2 really is something else. Such a beautifully thought out blade. I ended up paying $20 more than a "good" price but IMO that was a non issue. Enjoy your para 2's and I hope those looking can find one soon. Things will catch up in time.

If you can follow some of the dealers on facebook and twitter sometimes they will announce in advance when certain items are going to be in stock. CS announced that they had Para 2's coming the day before on their facebook page and then they also announced what time they were going to available to purchase.

That's how I got mine. Luckily, I was able to be at the computer when they went up.
