Im looking to buy a JYD2 as i type this but im not sure about something????? Do they come in both liner and frame lock???? Im looking at the composite blade ones and one place i look says liner lock another says frame??

Its a beefy liner lock. There was a limited edition with titanium framelock, but there pretty hard to find.

i thought they were liner locks but most the dealers im looking at on ebay have them down as frame locks and i want liner lock. Makes me scared to buy any

Well order it & if they send you a framelock by mistake it will only be to your benefit b/c the framelock titanium JYDs with SG2 blade are worth a lot more $$!

You at blade forums now, we have a list of autherised dealers, I recommend you buy from one of them.

Are they perhaps selling JYD1s? Those had a steel framelock and were smaller scale.

Go to kershawguy.com he has killer prices and excellent service.Can't go wrong.you can check out his feedback on the forum.

I bought 2 from kershawguy that were blems. I couldn't find anything costemicly wrong with them. I really like them for the price but wish it had a choil so you could choke up on the blade when needed.

Here is his link, and he publishes his list of prices. JYD II's (blems) were $55, IIRC. I got three of them.

can't go wrong with a JYD2 blem from Kershawguy.

I had the Ti JYD2, and it was an awesome knife: not as thick in the blade as other production knives, great steel, great cutter. I only sold it to generate funds for another knife I wanted. I also had a JYD2 with a composite blade, and everyone who saw it loved it.

Other than a little extra weight, the framelocks are great options. And remember this: once you buy from kerchawguy, you'll probably buy more.

Kershawguy is evil. EVIL, I say. Gets us hooked, then gets rich feeding our habit with his wares.

ps - that reminds me, time to go review his sale thread and figure out what I want this month.
