So glad you finally got yourself one of these. Your stickers will probably be fire 🔥 👍. Glad you got those as well. Thanks for sharing with us.
Excited to see how the stickers turn out! Will be shipping some out stay tuned!
Great job, your a funny guy ! Even if you don't know it, you have some funny traits of other popular reviewers. You have the voice of a reviewer who does funny imitations of his viewers, (MC). Heck you even got some magic tricks to throw out like (NS). You have a bright future in store for you, keep it up !
Hey man I’m glad you’re enjoying your pm2! I’m saving up for a lefty pm2 as my next big purchase! Although I’m sure I’ll like it more than my para 3 because there’s no left handed compression lock for the para 3 and although I can comfortably use a right handed one I can’t wait to see what it’s like using one as it’s designed to be used rather than with my thumb!
Ps I am a huge fan of the purple scales too! Too bad you can only get the base version for lefties :(
Nice, I carry the blurple and Artic storm pm2s all the time!
Awesome! I also just got my very first p2, black cpm s45vn blade, black aftermarket damascus carbon fiber scales, black back spacer, and your exact mxr deep carry pocket clip, but black.
So my question, why that color choice for your pocket clip and not black to match the blade?
All pm2s come tip down regardless the retailer. Me personally I'm tip up EVERYTHING.
I wonder why they do that but the other models come tip down, good to know!
Sal does that
Nice exclusive! Stassa 23 sent me over. Great spyderco collection. They definitely are my favorite production knife company.
It's the heat treat and consistency from the factory that makes it so hard for me to stay away, I gotta pace myself though because there's at least 4-5 more models I really want to check out from them
I feel that way about the Shaman... hope my hands love it as much as my eyes! 🤓👍
I'm sure the Shaman won't disappoint! It's on my must buy list for sometime in the future when the timing/funds are right
Glad to see you got the Para 2. Don't have one yet but the Crewware would be my choice too. I got no problem with the purple scales, they look good !
I think I wondered in your comments if I was the only one that liked Spyderco clips but I like the MXG s size. What works for you is always best. We know it isn't garbage but anxious to see you rate this one.
I think a lot of people are fine with the spyderco standard clip they just don't feel as inclined to speak up as those who don't like it..the one really good thing about spyderco not changing anything is that there are a ton of aftermarket options since most of the screw patterns are the same and have never changed...as for the ranking.. I'm still in the process of figuring out if I like it better than my Para 3 or not! We will see 😅
My dude finally did it lol. Nice choice, I have the exact same knife. Nothing wrong with the wave feature imo, it's convenient. And as for the pocket clip, they all come that way. I love spyderco, but not a fan of their clips either. I went with mxg deep carry clip as well and will try lynchnw next time just to have both. I'm not swapping the scales on this one either, it's perfect as is.
Haha i avoided this one for too long. It was time! the lynch nw was the other clip I was considering but always loved the look of the mxg's! I'm surprised that I didn't feel the need to change the scales when I got it out of the box but who knows what the future holds, so far I'm really liking this carry🤙
I have the pm2 cruwear and the stage 5 love them
Picked up the teal s90 pm2 and the black and purple para 3 cruwear, waiting on the manix crucarta to drop....
You need the warncliff version now, I have bought 3 pm2's in the last month lol
I really want the tanto one, but gotta wait for another sprint run😂
When I was a kid, I was told that if I wanted a knife I had to learn how to care for it. I like quite a few brands, but Spyderco is my Go-To knife company. I have more of their knives than my Benchmade, ZT & Kershaw collections combined. I just picked up a Shaman Saturday (08/26/23) & I would be more impressed with it if it was a fixed blade instead of the Sub-Par folder they put on the market.
If I didn't have a 99 mile drive each way to return it in Cheyenne, WY - I'd already be on the road to get my money back. The SpydieChef is a great knife and it's one of my most carried knives!
Cruwear is 🔥for sure. I just don’t like coated blades. You should have picked up the Micarta Cruwear Pm2 with the satin blade. But, still an awesome pickup. Good job 👍🏻
I really like the dlc coatings spyderco does..have it on my manix 2 which I've had for 2 years and never had the coating chip or scratch..collects fingerprints really badly though
@@Rollshambo I agree, Spyderco does a great job with their Dlc coating. I don’t know what it is though, I just prefer non coated blades. Especially the polished stonewashed finish ones like the original Slysz Bowie or the Chris Reeves knives.
Spyderco is one fuggly looking knife and this disuades a lot of folks from buying their 1st one...that is...until you finallly do get one in your hands and use it. Then it's like WTF??! And thats how Spyderco addictions begin...
Nice! Purple is actually my favorite color! Yes I said it. Kids, mortgage etc.. keeps me from meeting many of my heroes. Lol
Haha I overstand on that level, if rent and gas weren't so damn high I'd probably meet a few more of mine as well!
@@Rollshambo I did get the s45vn version with the digi camo last year as that's what everyone in the community was saying. I've always wanted to change the scales because I don't love them. I paid around $140 with a coupon code and no tax as well as free shipping at White Mountain Knives.
@@dansatermo3185 s45vn is such a great steel, I wish more knives used it.. as for the scales we will see, I was cool with the g10 on my yojimbo and para 3 for about 4 months before I decided I wanted titanium😂 spent about 300$ on scales for both knives, no regrets here though
Hell ya I like purple too. Not trying to bring politics into the conversation, but as a total Independent I love purple as our color. Some red and some blue mixed, equals purple !
I have always carried tip down on knives that offer it. Especially on knives on the larger side. It’s much faster to open without needing to adjust your grip. Also, in a scenario where you may need to put the knife away in the other pocket, it’s much safer tip down.
Plus, on a Spyderco the thumb hole jimping gets in the way when you pocket the knife tip up, frequently causing hang-up when the jimping rubs against the lip of the pocket.
Tip up on the P2 always requires removing the knife from the pocket, adjusting your grip, then opening. It’s cumbersome compared to tip down.
Tip down also rides a bit lower than tip up with the stock clip.
I actually had a set of RGT Ti scales ready for this knife when I got it, but I loved the purple so much, it gave me an excuse to buy another PM2 🤣
The PM2 was my first purchase after carrying my 740-1 for YEARS, and honestly is the knife that sent me over the edge into buying wayyyy too many knives. I love spydercos, I've got 11 now, and they never miss. I've tried many other knives, and it's hard to find one to kick it out of my pocket. Inkosi and Deka are close, but man, the PM2 is hard to beat imo. Out of 40 something knives (some honorable mentions - deka, inkosi, sage 5, para 3, Magnitude, Emerson Appalachian, ZT0450) there mayyyy be some I like more, but I can't be sure, because the PM2 IS the bar by which I've judged them. Possibly why i have 3 😁 Glad you finally picked one up, I'm antsy to hear the grail or garbage.
My first spyderco was the manix 2 and the rest is history😂 I get other knives and then I come right back and get more spyderco's, I'm not done either, I need a shaman, sage, spydiechef, native, dragonfly, stovepipe and a few others to round out my list...damn you spyderco..damn you!
@@Rollshambo it do be like that. I need another manix, I gave mine as a last minute, I forgot, "oh ****" birthday gift literally the day I got it. I never replaced it. I wanted a stovepipe until I realized how small it was, now I'd pick one up if i got it cheap. I need a chef and Dfly 🙄 the sage 5 is a good contender for top spydies, I got the BHQ and man, they do some good stuff in Taiwan these days. The Native is beefy, for its size (lil or og) and feels like a workhorse. The blade shape lends itself to feeling less likely to be fragile. I think the hype on the smock and shaman turned me off, it's not that I don't want one, but my interest piqued on both when the secondary and availability were bonkers, and it's too late to get it back now. Spydercos are definately well made, i hate the term fan boy, because I've purposely sought out a knife to replace them in my favoritism, and some have or have came close... However, Spyderco makes something for everyone, and typically do it well.
I apologize if I ramble, but I don't get to share my addiction outside of trying to tell people to stop buying overpriced crkts off the strap-on truck at work... 😂😂
My idea on spyderco is if isn’t spyderco, it’s not good enough. My favourite ones are the chaparrals, the sages and of course pm2. I hope you can make videos about the sages and chaparrals.
If it's sharp and shiny I want to check it out!
@@Rollshambo 😂👊
I have several MXG, only complaint is they do not make it for The Native......
Dang that's too bad, I'm really diggin this clip, I think I might get a few more for my other spydercos
Gorgeous
I used to think spyderco knives were ugly(before I became an enthusiast) cant believe I ever thought that, love this knife!
@@Rollshambo The mods you made look super good on it!
5x5 or wisemen for paramilitary 2?
So far I'm going to go with wisemen fang over the pickpocket specifically for the pm2..for the yojimbo the pickpocket from 5x5 is the way to go...main issue is that it's difficult to get the pickpocket to stay secure on Para 3 or pm2..I'm testing it out on my Para 3 right now with blue loctite so we will see if it's a solid solution, if not I'm tossing it and getting another fang😂
@@Rollshambo i was hoping to keep the hole open with 5x5.
@@Rollshambo maybe ill stick with zip ties
@@Abaddon5850 I know a lot of people that go that route and are very happy with ziptie waves, id like the 5x5 if I could get it to stay put😂
My manix looks fine with a zip tie but my new pm2 looks kinda stupid with.
Obviously not the point of this video, but that bladehq steel rankings thing is pretty terrible.
Larrin made a great video (and article, linked in description) that's not only much more extensive, but also accurate.
Edit: Larrin's video: th-cam.com/video/dg4qcdDba9w/w-d-xo.html
I have no doubt Larrins direct videos and articles provide more detail it's just really easy to get lost in the sauce talking about chromium percentages and the size of carbides...what's interesting to me is that on the BHQ website they say that they collaborated with Larrin on their knife steel guide...maybe I shouldn't have taken that at face value
@@Rollshambo
The bhq chart has been completely overhauled since I last saw it. Its definitely better, I imagine most people would find Larrin's charts _easier_ to read, but who knows.
Larrin's data has Cruwear 5/10 edge retention, m390/20cv/204p 6.5/10. BladeHQ has Cruwear 8/10 m390/20cv/204p 7/10.
I wouldn't take anything anyone has to say at face value, especially when they're trying to sell you something.
@@CNYKnifeNerd that's fair. something that is worth consideration is the difference in hrc. in the 200$ price range with Spyderco reliably heat treating their cruwear upwards of 64-65 hrc I wouldn't be shocked if during testing it shows better edge retention than m390 knives in the same price range at 59-60 hrc..what the industry gets away with when heat treating m390 is egregious 😂😭
Spyderco Capara
You probably deserve a discount cide.
I'm not there yet but the moment I can start handing out discounts to people that watch my channel I'll know I've made it😂🤙
People who tip down are the same people who won't carry a round in the chamber. They are either incompetent with or afraid of the tools they use.
What’s the benefit of having a round in the chamber lol… it’s like to you people that it’s a muzzle loader or something 😂😂😂
