So I'm getting ancy waiting for the spyderco pm2 in micarta and cruwear. I want something to tide me over till it drops. I'm looking for 3- 4" blade, no s30v- I want something different and premium. My budget is $200 give or take....thanks folks

I have the feeling it is not going to happen... Different, premium and $200 budget... difficult.

Are we talking about fixed blades? Which pattern? Sheath included / not included / leather / Kydex? Stainless / non-stainless?
Folder maybe? Liner / frame / back / Axis / lock? Flipper? Prefference for handle material?

Sooooo many questions....
 
Shaman in Z-Wear.

Good luck!

In all seriousness, lionsteel makes some pretty sexy folders in Micarta...MKM clap, lionsteel myto, MKM flame, viper Katla...

Giantmouse knives have alot in micarta like the biblio. Kizer micarta sheepdog, real steel micartamorph, g-slip...

Spyderco Spyopera, lionsteel bestman...

Too many to list, have fun shopping!
 
Pick a PM2, Manix 2, Endura, or Yojimbo here in the exchange. Buy Micarta scales on ebay for in between 55 and 75 bucks. Should be possible for $200.
 
The TOPS Mini Scandi ticks most of your boxes for about 1/2 of your budget.

3.25” blade
7.50” overall
Bohler N690 (not exactly premium)
Made in Italy for TOPS
It receives great reviews

It might tide you over until your Spyderco drops. Good luck.
 
I concur with micarta scales for an existing design:


Burlap Micarta from Ripps Garage Tech $59.99

Something different?
Twosun has some interesting designs with nice linen micarta. These folders have blades that are a bit more than 3".

Quality is excellent and price is well below what you would expect. Problem is it takes time to get them...
 
I picked this up in your price range. Micarta, 3.5" blade, and custom is better than premium.

I’ll toss in the Viper Turn as an option. 3.25” M390 blade, canvas Micarta, slightly different styling and geometry that you don’t see everyday....and it’s a lock-back to boot. It’s a very well-executed knife with solid ergonomics and the clip is great. A bit “different” all the way around, and can be had for under $200:

I searched around for these and they seem to be sold out everywhere. Are they discontinued or will they be re-stocked soon?

Yeah kinda tricky to find. There was a whole bunch popping up on the exchange here when I got mine. Not even marked up. Before I got mine thought I emailed giant mouse and asked when they were going to get more out to dealers and they responded and gave me the month they would be out next. So maybe hit them up and see when the next batch is available. You can also order them directly from them for the same price, but they gota be in stock there too...
