So I've been a knife nut for a while and have finally got my first spyderco.....a pm2 in cruwear and I've got to say, not disappointed at all, it is phenomenal. I now understand what all the hype is about, they build knives that perform first and foremost, absolutly outstanding cutting performance, hht4 level with a .01 polish at factory angle.

Also added the aramis cf grand scales, pocket clip and backspacer to it as well. Deffintaly my grail spyderco.
Also picked up a myrtle as well before they were all gone with a smoking deal.

 

I've got it adjusted when it is facing blade straight up in the air, if I disengage the lock, the blade free falls all the way down with no lock rock or movement.... Love it!

 

This would have been a great knife if it would have been a flipper and ran on bearings. But sadly, terrible designed knife with respect to operation but its staying in the collection

 

Thanks guys, it is kinda ridiculous having a 300$ pm2, but it is totally worth it to have something personalized to me that is unique.

 

You know....now that you mention it, the clip does kinda look like the alien ship shape

 

They shipped may 18th and received them the 1st of june. That was the worst part. I was getting ready to call USPS because They showed it had been processed through the New York hub around the 24th or 26th and never change the updated status until Thursday of last week , and then it was delivered the next day

 

I will say, the pocket clip is a pretty tight fit in the pocket. Really tight retention on this one

 

Truth be told, I just sat the clip and screws on the handles for the pics. The factory screws were not long enough which is weird because he said he had never had that problem. His stuff is always within .01mm. But I could not for the life of me get the cf or factory clip to screw in.
I ended up having to order longer screws from a guy on Ebay that worked but they are about a 32nd to a 16th to long.
Got them in now and it has a VERY strong clip retention

 

update....got the screws back out and ground them down a tad. They were very close to the blade and now are perfect flush

 

I just took'er down to 13dps. Seriously, sharpest knife I have ever messed with. Borderline hht5, its ridiculous
