Where did you get the orange PM2?? Is it burnt orange? Bento Box? Inquiring minds.....
That is a mighty fine looking knife. Never used a knife with M4 that I can recall.^^^ Plus 1 for spyderco and M4 (Gayle Bradley 2). Recently picked this up. Really liking it. I touched up the edge on my sharpmaker, extra fine rods, and it is scary sharp! Been using it for a couple weeks and the edge is still ridiculously sharp.
The Spyderco Gayle Bradley knives have almost flush liner lock tabs by design.
The inaccessibility is to prevent inadvertently disengaging the lock during heavy use.
Just got a great deal on a cold steel ultimate hunter , can't wait to get it in hand it looks so comfy and I'm digging the blade shape
That'll be a nice collection PM2's with great steels!Well, I'm not known for being the sharpest bulb on the chandelier, or the brightest tool in the shed; oh wait!!! Never mind, where was I?
After I recently acquired the Bento Box (not from them though) PM2-M390, I got the itch to get the Knife Works exclusive PM2 in CPM-M4. I found one on the Auction Site over the other side and luckily for me, the seller was willing to talk $ a bit. I took a bit of a risk because his photos were quite inferior but he had assured me that the steel was not blemished or "patina'd" due to oxidization and it was all his cr*ppy photos and how he had oiled the blade before he put it in the safe, box, papers, et al. When I received it, it was truly LNIB and better than I had expected, so I'm quite chuffed about it. The M390 had a bit of side-to-side blade play which I corrected by slightly tightening the pivot torx screw but that decreased the smooth action a bit. The M4 had no such issue.
So, now we go back to my first paragraph! After I gathered up the aforementioned two, I thought that something was missing! Yup, I started a quest for another sprint run PM2, but this time in Cruwear steel, just because I am both dumb, impulsive and a bay (that's three, no?). I managed to score one on the Exchange on Saturday, after I had failed on a couple of them as the sellers wanted a bit more than I was comfortable to pay for. Hopefully, I'll receive that one toward the end of the week, so I will have my 3 x sprint rum PM2s with awesome steel options at which time I will post some photos.
I luv PM2s as they really fit me really well. I know that's quite a bit of $ dumped into them with the higher grade steels, but one can easily sink $600+ just into one flipper folder these days and never dare to use it! I have had more expensive folders but IMHO, you can't beat the ergos, cutting ability and the ease of EDC'ing these PM2s (size & weight) as long as they fit you. Plus I think that their compression luck is just brilliant!

I carry a Benchmade Mini Grip with D2 blade. And always a Leatherman Charge TTi or Sidekick.
Nice combo.
How do you like the D2 on that blade?
I had been eyeing that one even before Josh of RazorEdgeKnives LLC got ahold of one - this thing (not mine) looks scary
