looks like the Blue M390 Paramilitary 2 is about to be released

This blue Para 2 costs ~$64 more than the orange Para 2. Different, though similar, steels thats true. And blue die is way more expensive than orange die. Everyone knows that. But the price differential may not be completely attributable to production costs, which is a little data point that I will file away the next time I am deciding which vendor gets my cc number. The vendor of the orange Para 2 gets a gold star for not stiffing us on the price. The other one, not so much. :)

I agree 100%, but I will point out that the blue knife will likely enjoy a similar premium on the secondhand market, partly because of its higher starting price. The blue Manix 2 remains a costly used knife despite being a fairly standard S30V knife. I would expect the blue M390 PM2 to be a relatively valuable knife once they sell out (which will happen pretty quickly).
 
Just got mine out of the mail box.....WHAT A BEAUTY!! Razor blade sharp and no sticky lock like my digi cam had at first. Looks like spyderco might be polishing the ramp where the lock contacts it at..butter smooth....:D
 
Behold.

USPS dropped the ball again. No knife today, maybe tomorrow or whenever they feel like it.

:) Looks like you and I are on the same list! Hopefully they don't send your stuff back rather than go to the trouble of delivering it like they do mine:)

I believe they made 800. No idea about the G10 - thus far I have not been notified my knife is ready to ship, much less received it.
 
Mine was waiting for me when I got home today!!! It is absolutely perfect. Perfect grind, beautiful lockup and silky smooth. I can't wait to see what m390 is all about
 
mine looks fantastic. g10 is really grippy on this one. beautiful.

I even cut some cardboard with mine while burning some trash today so I wouldn't be tempted to turn it on the bay for profit! No more NIB for me! :p This is going to be a user!
