Great looking color combo

Def a nice change. And S90V is sick.

Would "have".

Enough with black G10. Let's have a little variety.

Completely disagree. Black on black is boring. What makes it attractive is the contrast. I am totally in. I love S90V from way back. Win-win

I'm liking this combo!

Looks awesome and love the brown (and S90V). I would have liked it without DLC but then I don't need to be any more covert than with any other folder. Of course, the Yo 2 is a great design.

I will be opinionated enough to say black on a Yo is bad. Good means colors that are less noticeable with normal clothing, like blue and brown. I would have preferred tan. I don't like coated blades but Spyderco does such an outstanding job with S90V that this might just go onto the "buy" list.

Rit die. Not everything takes colored die well but I've never ran into anything that couldn't be died black!

Well seeing as I just got a regular Yo a few weeks ago I think you can all thank me for this release.

I'd been deciding on if to wait for sprint or change and said nah' it'll never happen.

Wolverine666 · Jul 29, 2017

I'm still hoping a Yojimbo2 XL becomes a reality.

But another Yo2 sprint would be more than welcome too.

Even an S110V/dark blue G10 (to follow suit with the Manix2 , Para2 and Military) would make me very happy.

Cruwear or M4 for me. With gray or dark green scales.

Why would you want such a super tough steel for a Y2? The best traits of the Y2 are the point and blade shape for pearcing the skin of a bad guy. It is not a tool like a Hinderer, the Y2 is the bodyguard to get you home to family.

And I think the new color conbo is awesome, a black blade/handle is just boring and soooooo common.

I would like to see a tough steel for the very reason you mention. Something tougher than S90V at least in a sprint. The blade is delicate as it is so a tougher steel would mitigate that fact a bit.

Not sure how I feel about brown scales

. I think dark gray would of been a better option.

Exactly! Thin edge and fine point benefit the most from a tough steel. One with a good balance of toughness and abrasion resistance = M4 or 4V but Cruwear does really well too, as does 3V with the latest developments in heat treat. Nothing wrong with S90V (one of my favorites for a cutter/slicer), but just stating preferences.
