So I am home on Covid quarantine with blessedly mild symptoms and to fight off the anxiety of missing work I started going through my Paramilitary 2 collection. I am currently missing 8 iterations. The 6 regular production S45VNs, the new Crucarta and the elusive REC PM2. And what I discovered is there have been fewer Sprints than I thought and one dealer has by far the most exclusives.

8 Regular Production; Black G-10 Satin in Plain, Spyderedge and Lefty, Black G-10 DLC all in S30V and S45VN.
4 Regular Production; Digicam G-10 Satin and DLC in S30V and S45VN.
3 Regular Production; in special steels/scales S110V, Maxamet & Cruwear.

6 Sprint Runs; S90V CF, CTS-20CP Light Gray G-10, CPM154CM/S90V CF, Cruwear Dark Gray G-10, CPM REX 45 Burnt Orange G-10 and S45VN Diamondarc.
3 Spyderco.com Exclusives; Bayou Shooter PM2, 2018 forum knife and Colorado Flag.
5 Distributor Exclusives; 2 Brown G-10 S35VN Satin and DLC, 2 52100 Plain partially serrated and Pink G-10 S30V. (DLT S30V OD Green G-10 was a distributor exclusive that DLT bought the entire stock of.)

Exclusives:

1 Knife Center Cruwear Smooth Black G-10.
1 St. Nick's Knives CPM 4V DLC Red G-10.

2 Knifeworks CTS 204P Green G-10 and M4 CF.
2 Knifejoy CPM 20CV Satin and DLC Toxic Green G-10.

3 Cutlery Shoppe CTS XHP Satin and DLC Orange G-10 and the Wharncliffe.
3 REC CPM 10V Satin and DLC Coyote Brown G-10 and the REC PM2.
3 Blade Ops S30V Emerson Satin and DLC Black G-10 and Elmax Dark Gray G-10.

4 Bento's Box Shop M390 Satin and DLC Blue G-10, Elmax Foliage Green G-10 and K390 Ranger Green G-10.
4 SMKW Fat Carbon Fiber M4 (possibly two more to come?)

6 DLT M390 Red G-10, CPM 20CV Satin and DLC Tan G-10, the aforementioned DLC S30V OD Green G-10, DLC S90V OD Green G-10 and DLC Cruwear Purple G-10.

11 Blade HQ M4 Satin and DLC Jade G-10, Tanto S30V Satin and DLC Black G-10, Tanto M4 Satin and DLC Jade G-10, REX 45 Satin and DLC Copper and 3 BD1N Aluminum.

So by my count there have been 65 unique PM2s released. 24 in 2021 alone! Fradon Lock Elmax marbled CF, SMKW Satin versions of Jungle and Lava and more Wharncliffes inbound.

That is impressive. I’ve wondered if anyone out there had them all, and looks like you will get there. There’s a reason there are so many PM2s out there: it’s a darn near perfect folder.
 
Thank you everyone. For me Covid has been a moderate headache and the very annoying loss of taste and smell. I am blessed. I should be able to get them all since REC said that PM2 will continue to be made until demand is met. And with so many exclusives the regular production models can wait.
 
If those are your Para 2's, how many total Spydercos do you have?
 
I have double of several of the PM2s that I carry and probably two dozen other models.
 
Ooof. Nice collection! I can hear my one, lowly black G10 PM2 in S30V sobbing from my dresser.
 
Hello, On a long shot, do you possibly still have a Spyderco PM2 Bayou Shooter that you would sell. Thanks so much, Bert

I can't hear mine, I sold my only PM2 today. It was of the satin black G10 S45VN variety. Endura 4 just kept hogging all the pocket time so I let it go to a new home.
