Ha, yah I got that email. The other place I was checking out said the 17th, so if NG has recieved some then soon they should too (if not already).

The side by side ones were done first and there are only so many. All future models will be as yours is. Enjoy that knife. I think mine is the single best Spyderco I've ever bought. Its one of those thats so good you have to have two at least. :thumbup:

My P2 just came. I immediately flipped the clip around and it's going to be my EDC for a while. I love the light weight. Nothing about this knife is wanting and the review is spot on.
 
Mine is shipping today:thumbup: with a couple of other Spydies:o :D

Will try a ti clip from Steve and a couple of other low riding ones as well::cool:
 
Am I the only one that loves the "old" Para just as much :D

I like them equally Fredde :D I still find my D2 Para, in the pocket a lot of the time. Once a fella gets used to something, keep it in the family.

I have to echo everybody else that Para2 is gonna be a HUGE hit !

According to my digital postal scale the original Para weighs in at 3.6 ounces. My new one in the Para 2 weighs in at 3.7 ounces. Imagine that. All these great improvements and only a tenth of an ounce weight gain! Not too shabby Spyderco!
interesting that according to Spyderco's site Para2 is actually lighter at 106 grams, then the original C81 at 108 gr.
and if you bear in mind that Para 2 uses more metal (longer blade, integral -yet skeletonized- liners) the new design is all the more remarkable :thumbup:

some side by syde pics:

Where did you order yours from? If you dont mind me asking. I have a feeling I will be waiting quite a while on mine to ship from YourCornerStore.com. :grumpy:

My dealer found an extra one for me from an earlier shipment. Sorry, but there are currently no more available..
 
Still waiting for the sprint run..I heard its around the end of the year, but more gifts for me :P
 
Got an awesome low rider clip from STR (Thanks Steve!). I love the way it rides now...i think i can honestly say this knife is now perfect.

Thanks much for the pics.:thumbup: I need to get those in my low rider clip picture thread for folks also so when they ask I can refer them there.;)

No don't let that stop you from putting some in that same thread. I can always use pics for when folks ask and even some of the ones not so good still save me from filling up my limited MB storage space for my account so every little bit helps. :thumbup:
