Peel ply is just the process of adding texture to the material. The peel ply carbon fiber like the recent 52100 Military is in fact 100% carbon fiber. The laminate cf like on the Sage3 or Domino is a single layer of carbon fiber on the surface of a piece of g10.

Thanks! I have a 52100 mili being delivered Tuesday.
 
None of Them are actually full CF peel ply is still a laminate just with a different texture

This is not true.

Peel ply, also called release paper, is a material applied to the top layer of the carbon fiber (or g10 or fiberglass or any resin based material) while it cures which is removed and discarded afterwards. So basically in the case of peel ply carbon fiber it is made just like normal except the top layer of the material is the peel ply. However, when the resin is done setting up you peel the top layer off. Hence the names peel-ply or release paper. The finished product is most certainly 100% carbon fiber since the material that was applied to create the texture is removed. It is just applied during curing to provide the rough texture. You can actually use peel ply to create perfectly smooth surfaces too. It isn't just used to create textures.

There are not any carbon fiber scales where the cf is just a top layer AND peel ply.

Domino, Dice, Szabo as well as a few others are G10 with a Top Layer of Carbon fiber on the top.

The sprint runs that have Peel Ply Carbon fiber are FULL Carbon Fiber. Like the S90V Yojimbo 2 & PM2. The new military in 51200 is also peel ply Carbon fiber


I work with pretty much every carbon fiber thats been made.
 
My tracking was updated this morning. The horse and wagon got here a day early. LOL
The Chokwe is preparing for a box opening today.
 
In the end to those who got them

Enjoy them

To those that bought three to sell two to get a free knife, good on you as well

I think it's a beauty of a knife and its awesome what spyderco and blade hq came up with

True...but things like that can be said about any hobby. All art does is hang on a wall. People pay lots of money for things that they "want" but don't "need". When you get to a certain level it's a luxury item.
 
My one order is out for delivery and the other is on the way. Totally awesome service from BladeHQ. This will be my very first Paramilitary so I'm excited to finally have a model I've seen discussed so much. I love the natural G-10 so kinda glad I'll have a backup even though that wasn't my original plan.

Agree, I've always loved natural G10.

Same here. I bought a PM2 last year no one was snatching up. Relisted and reduced after three weeks to $85. Just because its digi scales were sanded down to natural/jade. It was an amateur mod but looked good with all recessed screws. Just passed that on to my daughter. She loves it even though it scares her a little. LOL

To me camo screams the age 15 more than the jade g10... To each their own but I never got on the whole tacticool camo everything.
 
I bought a camo one in November because that was all that was available. Could do without the camo but thats secondary to how great that knife is.

M4 next to the 204P. The texture on the M4 G10 is very aggressive compared to the 204P. Has anyone else experienced this?

Placed an order for one “Spyderco M4 ParaMilitary2 Knife Natural G-10 (C81GM4P2)” at 9:00am PT on the dot and the order went through fast.

However, it did not show up on my BladeHQ Order Status page and there was no pending charge on my CC. At 9:10am PT I received a "Payment Error" email from BladeHQ but saying "We'll keep the items you placed in your order on hold for 48 hours". I tried calling but their lines were busy. I emailed back that "Payment Error" email and received a response at 10:15am PT:

"Hey Awesome Customer!
Like you, we are excited for the Exclusive M4 Paramilitary 2!
We took precautions to prepare our servers to handle the throngs of customers that were going to submit their orders at release to grab one!
Our credit card processor was warned to expect a spike in volume in anticipation of the release but were still unable to process all the payments as they came in.
As a result, your order is being held for you while we resolve the payment processing. Any duplicate orders or quantities of more than 3 knives will be cancelled.
You’ll be sent another email with confirmation that your payment has been successfully processed, followed with an email containing your tracking details as it’s ready to ship out.
If we have any questions or concerns regarding your order, we will contact you by phone to resolve those with you.
We appreciate your patience while we work through this process!

At around 10:30am PT I checked my CC again and there's a pending charge of $159.99 from BladeHQ!

However, as of 11:00am the order is still not on the BladeHQ Order Status page.

I'm sure it'll be fine...

It took a while but I just received an email from BladeHQ entitled "Order Approved!" and stating:

"You likely received an email saying your credit card was declined or there was a problem with your order. You were probably bummed and shed missed knife opportunity tears. We’re sorry about that. Our credit card processor couldn’t handle the beautiful knife knut fanaticism and we crashed their system. But we have good news! It’s all fixed now and we have processed your credit card. Your order is getting ready to ship. If you are still experiencing issues or you don’t receive a shipment notification within 24 hours, please contact our customer service at 1-888-252-3347."
​

My order now shows up on the Order Status page and I'm just awaiting a shipment notification!

Note: Great communication by BladeHQ!

BladeHQ emailed a shipment notification at 4:16pm PT. It went out USPS First Class Mail.

Received! It took a while from Thursday's USPS First Class mailing until today.

Never had a natural translucent G-10 before and I like it! It's a grippy G-10 too. I like how Spyderco takes extra care with these carbon steels with extra oil and silica gel packs to avoid corrosion.
