Yojimbo 2 - Won't Be Long Now!

Moving Target · Nov 11, 2011

Recent post from Mike Janich on the Spyderco (website) forums:

Our Factory Manager handed me one of the first production Yojimbo 2's ths morning. It turned out GREAT! The fit and finish are consistent with the superior standards of all of Spyderco's US-made products, the action is super smooth, and the lock-up is rock solid. The detent and lock operation are also light years ahead of the original Yo.

They're going on the shelf as I type this... Life is good. Life with a Yo2 is way better!!!

Thanks to Sal, Eric, and the Spyderco Crew for the opportunity to design the Yo2 and for doing such an incredible job of translating my vision into steel!!!

Stay safe,

Mike

Can't wait for my pre-order to ship!

Is that even possible?

Thanks for sharing the great news, Moving Target!

thombrogan · Nov 18, 2011

Real time or Busse time?

Black-Jacket · Nov 19, 2011

real time

thombrogan · Nov 20, 2011

Awesome. No idea when mine will be over, so I'll be jealous in the meantime.

Knifeworks has the Yojimbo 2 on their website now! Supposedly only a small number in stock.

edlex · Nov 22, 2011

I preordered mine from gp knives. I hope they're getting them soon.

eloreno · Nov 23, 2011

I ordered one from KW yesterday. I haven't received a shipping notice yet, hopefully today...
I think this will be a great utility blade.

So I just got done paying for mine at Howe's. Had a few hiccups at the checkout but Jim made it right with just an email from me, awesome service. I just have to wait three weeks before I get the knife.

Dang. I missed the chance. Now I have to wait for them to come back in stock. This is a full production, not just a sprint right?

This is BS! GP is now showing the pre-orders won't be in until 12/20/2011!! WTF?!?

Believe that's the plan unless sales say otherwise.

stabman · Nov 23, 2011

I want one!

Deviltooth · Nov 23, 2011

I'm definitely buying one. My new Manix 2 has become a regular carry; Spyderco keeps offering winners. I'm still up in the air about the Des Horn but the Yojimbo is a must have.
