The Jade tanto PM2’s are sold out at retailers. There is a black on black PM2 tanto for sale in the sales forum. The listing is a couple weeks old so you may be able to get the seller to move on the asking price. https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/spyderco-exclusives-sprints.1770781/#post-20279935
Been seeing the Viper ORSO in several pics around here. That got me wondering about it. A quick search at Collector Knives proved to be enlightening. Even though the titanium frames were not in stock, it didn’t discourage me from getting this one. I guess I’ll settle for this carbon fiber model. Oh well
I just received this Kizer Sheepdog with carbon fiber scales in S35VN steel. This thing is amazing! It cuts like a scalpel and the bearing action is so smooth. Ergonomically, it fits in my large hand like it was made for me. This is one of those knives that doesn't have to grow on you.
4 of them were pre-orders that just all happened to show up on the same day, while being stuck in USPS hell for weeks on end.
1. received a new Spyderco Endura with stainless handle. plain edge 2. won a bid for a used Spyerco Endura with stainless handle and plain edge today. 3. have an Ontario TFI incoming. May have been discontinued. 4. I have two Ontario Mark3 knives at substantial discount on back order. I hope the seller honors the same and that the knife will be started in production again some day. 5. I do give knives as gifts to relatives. I have three relatives who have preschoolers and I know that they are going to be taking on picnics and and in the woods. I have sorted out knives to give them like modified Moras.
Just received this small Loveless pattern City Knife by the late Sezio Imai. ATS34, Mokume bolsters, and some nice stag. I have one about this size by Mike Lovett also, although I prefer the pattern larger for use. Still, it was too nice not to pick up.
Not a dream knife for most people but I just bought it...But still tomorrow morning I have to fine some twig too...
I found this knife/maker on board here. Wow. I cannot overstate how fine and beautiful his work is. The FF, grind(s), ero's and geometry are second to none. Transitions and polish is flawless. Full flat grind on this is outstanding. Air bleeding. This half tang/M390 come in at slightly over 2oz..awesome. Backpack, kitchen, hunter, B&T, caper...I have the specs somewhere, I'll dig them up... Sheath is handmade and beautiful. Another example of attention to detail. So impressed this package I've ordered two more, full tang, slight variation on this pattern, The Kree, I believe. I have no affiliation other than being a happy customer. Do yourself a favor, give this maker a look before I convince him that he needs to charge more for his work.. @mrZorg76254. Easy to work with. Outstanding product and service. Thanks again, Z!
