S35VN Para 2 sprint?

[elkins45]

So just a few moments ago I discovered the brown S35VN Para 2 sprint. I have no idea if there's any reason I should get on the list for one. What makes S35VN special?

More to the point: what makes it special enough to buy it attached to a set of scales that are practically begging to be lost in the dirt?

Nothing special at all really, just another new flavor of PM2.

We buy these things to temporarily anesthetize ourselves from emotional pain. All of this talk about blade steel and scale colors is just the cover story.

Go tell it on the mountain!

I've had one on order. I like the color, and I think I'll really like the S35V as an all around steel. It holds and edge as well as S30V(which is plenty good for me), but is a tougher stainless steel. It should be more easy to sharpen as well, and the couple(one a maker) that I talked to that used it said this seemed to be true.

From what I've heard its basically S30V with about a 30% increase in toughness. While I like the earth brown G10 scales on my XHP Military more than I thought I would, I probably won't be getting this sprint because for me its not really different enough from the regular version and its about 40% higher priced than the regular.

Indeed, knives are part of my novacaine for what ails me.

It will match my brown XHP Millie

This is the sad truth, which we have to face sometimes.

I'm not sure how much pain this particular one would anesthetize.

The effect of the blue one is still lingering. The gray one left me cold. I still occasionally fondle the carbon fiber one to rekindle the warm feeling that only S90V can bring.

Any carbon fiber/S90V combo is a jealous mistress.
