Found a package in the mailbox marked HKS. Since I've had 5 P2s I was not all giddy like the first, but after inspecting, holding, opening, closing and literally looking at it with a magnifying glass it appears to be the best yet. The last 2 had slight side to side and a less than stellar grind. This edge doesn't have that massive removal or notch at the base like quite a few seemed to have especially the orange CTS I received. Maybe they slowed down a bit or are just paying a bit more attention lately? At any rate I am completely satisfied - Thanks Sal & Co.
..and yes, I added the XDS for show & tell. :D

Haven't you heard? Spyderco has a 4 PM2 limit. Better send that baby to me:D

LOL, it's actually my only one right now as the others obviously made great trade bait! I knew if I had patience I'd get one at regular price.
 
Great looking knife! My recent PM2 Camo has a similar build quality. Well done Spyderco!
 
That one looks super fit to me. I need a camo /satin/black to add to the pile. I like the pistol too, hows it carry?
 
Looks practically identical the the one I got in the mail today (also from HKS). Mine is a touch tight in the pivot, but the grind looks identical to yours and its perfectly centered and zero play in lockup. I think it will wear in perfectly. I also feel I lucked out in the G10 slabs, really nice patterned Digicam. I also received a Gayle Bradley in the mail today, and I am blown away at the quality of that one.

The XDS is a treat to carry. It is just a tad bigger than my Nano 9mm but can launch them .45 cannonballs at 850-1150fps!

Thanks Steve, that is exactly what I've been looking for to compliment my Para2. I might ask you some more questions via PM before I buy. Back to the knife, that G10 has a great balance of lights and darks. Hard to find those.
 
Wow. The grind looks good. Maybe they are paying more attention to the grind @ the heel. It seems like mine either have too much steel removed or the grind stops way short of the ricasso/choil.
 
Awesome pistol, that is the one I have had my eye on for a while. My brother-in-law picked one up after I talked it up, but I haven't shot it yet to make sure it is for me.
 
I got two camo blk blade yesterday and both are really nice. Can't find fault with either! I especially like the high polish recessed liners.

My second--recently purchased2 weeks ago--went right back to Spyderco with very weak blade detent.

Bummed, but confident it will come back perfect!

Yeah, I sent back a new Para 2 Blk/Satin for a refund because of an really weak detent. I ordered another one the next week from another vendor and got a better one. Perfect lock up, very good grind. Detent is still a little weak but definitely not a deal-breaker.

I hope to find all black Para 2 soon!
 
My new HKS digi-satin is the best PM2 out of my last four received, these should be a good batch.
 
Made a very slight adjustment on the non-lock side pivot and now my PM2 flicks nicely both ways. I am SUPER impressed with this knife.
 
I checked out a camo black blade today, and it was flawless from what I could see. The price was $179.99 so I passed. I did ask about his supply, and he said he has gotten them every time he ordered with no issues. I think he had every knife in his store right at MRSP or really close.
