Yeah, but when did Spyderco start doing sprint runs? It’s been a much more recent phenomenon. Precedent from CF PM2, PM3, Yojumbo and Native Chief are much more relevant.The Military was introduced in 1996, the first CF Military was in 2005. Don't hold your breath.
but Para 3 was only 14 months, source: https://www.spydiewiki.com/index.php?title=C223_Para_3The base model Shaman was released 19 months before the S90V/CF sprint dropped, and it was 20 months for the Native Chief.

Responses like this strike me as rather odd, given that exclusive sprint runs have been a giant driver for the popularity of certain models. Hell, I'd be absolutely shocked if every single major dealer hadn't been instantly emailing Spyderco to get some information about when they can get their, particular, exclusive run of Military 2s in production when they saw that prototype.The earliest CF Sprint Run I know of was the 2003 Police Model, when the Police was already in its second decade of its second generation.
But maybe if you roll on the floor, screaming and crying, then hold your breath until you turn blue, Sal will make one just special for you. I actually doubt the base model will hit the shelves before the end of the year, but I don't suppose it would do any good to council patience.
Hi Gamma_nyc,
We don't do much with the "when" questions. Once we have it in house and it's gone through QC, then we can give a realistic "when".

Okay okay! But right after the digicam please.Wow, I wasn’t joking. I don’t remember “years” before CF versions…maybe 9-12 months in the past? Who knows. I’m old and memory is going.,.
But I want my dam CF version : )
Listen, have it in CPM-Cruwear, have it in anodized titanium, and have it on my desk next week. I can't fidget with excuses, I need exclusives. I don't need a blueprint, I need a sprint. I don't need you to dawdle, I need an exclusive model. I don't need you to prepare, I need Cruwear. I don't need talk, I need a comp lock.Hi Gamma_nyc,

I’m only in for a magnacut model. I’ve moved away from spyderco, but I would jump if the base or even a sprint was magnacut. Peel ply CF and magnacut would be my preference.Hope base steel is not s30v as shown , maybe magnacut or cruwear
