On the right side of the blade, before and after the hole, there are these two different symbols. Can someone please tell me what those are?
 
The makers marks of Eric and Sal Glesser.

1Shot1Kill earned his name on that one.
 
Oh cool thanks. The one nearer the tip is Sal's and the one near the handle is Eric's correct?

It took me a while to figure Sal's out because I kept trying to find an "SG" not "SAL" I didn't want you to think I was making fun, I can relate. And if you get some more Spyderco's you will see more interesting markings if they are collaboration knives, the Brad Southard is a really cool one. I really like having this detail on a knife. My Stretch doesn't, but some Stretch's do, and I wish mine did.

It is a "BS" but when I first saw it thought it was two squiggly marks, or 35 or some picture.

I like to think of them as runes inscribed to make the blade slice better
 
I believe those are the marks to signify the designer. I think the PM2 is considered an "in-house"design. I am pretty sure those alien marks mean that I will most likely like the design.I could be wrong as a day I don't learn something new is a day lost....
 
That one in front of the Spydie hole is actually an upside down "PN" for PowerNoodle. If you look closely you can see it. Its just a little homage from Mr. Sal to his chief design engineer.
