There is one in the for sale thread $200 . Great seller to.
Great snag ^^
You can see the waves of the cf layers from the side and... Put some water on the cf scales and the weave shows up more until the water evaps (just don't get it on the blade, unless u want patina).It's definitely expensive. They go on sale for $200 now and then though. Something like the BHQ M4 PM2 was significantly cheaper, though it also sold out very quickly. I have the KW version, and I do like it a lot. I try not to think about how it cost more than the fluted CF Native. I like the grip of the peel-ply finish on the CF, but don't like how it obscures seeing the CF weave. To me, CF is at least in part about the look. I can't really say if it's worth it or not, but I can say I like the knife.
On the secondary market? I figured like most limited PM2s, they would have gotten more expensive.Not if you don’t care about the scale. You can get the M4 in jade for much less.
Some of the best carbon fiber for grip. The standard g10 also is peelply. You can get aftermarket scales in nearly any material you like without peel ply texture... Coppers really nice but also heavy af.
I hate jade aka translucent aka natural g10. But at least it can be dyed. Though no one ever does.
The CF upgrade is expensive. Sales seem to be slow for this dealer exclusive and it's been on sale a few times. If you like it and can afford it, go for it.
Alternatively you might consider the Knifecenter Cruwear exclusive.
There was one for sale...
(I'd been agonizing over this knife since I didn't place an order when it was on sale over Labor Day weekend. David's sale thread pushed me over the edge.)
I like the CF version, and I like the Jade version. I have both. Otherwise it's your preference but they are available for what would once have been considered bargain prices for an exclusive with primo steel. If you want a really good PM2 for a little less money, there is always the S110V version.
I hate you, just kidding (please don't ban me). Enjoy your knife.
Hey guys/gals,
I have been wanting a PM2 for a while now, but at the same time, I kind of want to try out tool steels. I already have a ZT 0393 in 20CV, BM 940-1 in S90V, and a Native 5 in S35VN, so I thought maybe tool steel would work nicely for my next collection.
The only knife I found so far that fits out of my needs/wants is the knifeworks exclusive PM2 in M4 steel with carbon fiber handle, for $220. I know there's the BladeHQ Jade G10 version, but that's no longer for sale.
For $220, it's rather expensive for a PM2, although my other knives are more expensive. Do you guys think it's worth it? Thanks.

Makes the Gayle Bradley knives seem like good deals to me.
