Just when I thought I was done spending money on folders for awhile, a blackout pm2 in Magnacut is released and in stock. I really shouldn’t be buying this but here it goes. Hi my name is Daniel and I’m addicted to knives. I need help.

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

Don’t we all. 😂 I am with you, Daniel.

[@StitchJones]

I got my PM2 Salt almost 2 weeks ago and I love how it feels and the way the scales are designed. Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

Thanks. I am glad you like it.

[@chriswarras6328]

Just got mine today pure perfection

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

@@chriswarras6328 it’s perfection indeed

[@whatsleft4her1]

My favorite pm2 too date hasn’t left my pocket!!!

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

Yeah. It's my favorite PM2 as well. The blackout look plus the magnacut blade is just perfect.

[@101N]

Thank you for your review, I intend to purchase one. What I find most interesting - aside from the Magnacut - is the fact that they decided to leave the layer of Peel-Ply on the G10 slides. I think you gave a good description of how that feels.

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

Thanks for the feedback. I am glad that you find this video helpful. I would definitely recommend this version. You won’t be disappointed.

[@DHEAD_EYE]

super nice this is going to be my next

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

@@DHEAD_EYE you won’t regret it. Super nice indeed.

That will be my next Spyderco. Great-looking knife! Thanks!

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

You won’t be disappointed. Thanks.🙏

I just received mine today 🥳 Instantly swapped the stock clip with a LynchNW DLC Ti. These Salt scales are nice & grippy too! Action is perfect right out of the box. 🍻

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

Nice! I ordered a MXG deep carry clip as well. I was surprised that the action is perfect out of the box cause my other one has some lock stick. They must have done something differently to this new batch.

[@josh_a.7142]

Where did you order the clip in black?

[@TheHeliumSkater]

Wait to snag this one yall! They are planning to release same configuration with their own version of a coating that’s apparently better and has more lubricity than dlc later this year

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

Sounds cool. Do you know what price range that one will be at?

[@ShoahBiz]

It’s not that it’s better and more lubricity it’s that it’s hopefully at least around as durable while having high lubricity while also being cheaper since it’s in house

[@mercilessforever]

I just ordered a magma salt mil 2. After ur review I like the titanium scales u put on the pm 2. Did u say that those scales make the handle shorter and more pocket friendly? I haven’t handled the pm2 yet but I chose it because I prefer a 3.5 inch blade or around that length.

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

I don’t know about making the handle shorter. But the titanium scales do make it more substantial and slick looking. The MXG pocket clip I added did make it easier to carry though. PM2 is probably my favorite Spyderco knife model. You won’t be disappointed.

[@cienpicos9633]

Hello! What is the setup you have on the first customized PM2 you showed? Looks amazing

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

That one has Flytanium titanium scales and lanyard hole plug, MXG deep carry pocket clip, and OCD4EDC CME(Compression lock made easy)

[@G-NutZ]

I received mine today, instantly swapped out the stock clip, went deep carry, changed out the lanyard tube, threw out the stock scales and replaced with carbon fiber, and replaced the blade with one made of CTS 204p.

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

What!? Sounds like you just changed it to a completely different knife.

[@G-NutZ]

I just thought about that 🤔

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

@@G-NutZ😂you don’t like the Magnacut blade that comes with it?

[@patrickbledsoe2176]

What ? I don't understand why.

[@ShoahBiz]

Lol gr8 b8

[@jamesoncross7494]

I hope they offer it in the para 3 and Military as well.

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

I hope they do. I ‘d love to have a para 3 with magnacut steel and that scales in my collection.

[@Kris_Stiletto]

That's, "Super Sweet!" :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

Thanks. Peace.

[@Barney_Greenway]

Does it say DLC? I heard Eric Glesser talk about a new type of coating they want to use that has similar/better characteristics as DLC, but they want to do it in-house...

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

“Cloaked in a non-reflective Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, the PlainEdge blade is housed in a handle featuring peel-ply-textured black G-10 scales machined with the signature Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture pattern of Spyderco’s US-made Salt Series knives.” Yes. Here is what they say on their website about this knife.

[@shannonspence4183]

The first run will be DLC.

[@ivanovfarit]

It looks thiner behind the edge than the ordinar one.

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

Yeah. I felt the same way. It cuts better as well.

[@ivanovfarit]

@@TJ_EDC_Life cool, thanks

[@zenka314]

Great knive

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

It is indeed. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@edsaban572]

I want it, but I dk if I want it for $250. There are so many awesome knives out there for $250. Spyderco simple construction and material does not warrant these prices. G10 and some stainless steel liners, come on!!

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

Buy one and try it out yourself. If you don’t like it, return it. But I think you won’t regret it.

[@edsaban572]

@@TJ_EDC_Life Nah, if it was like $180, i would pull the trigger. But $250 is absurd for a pm2.

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

@@edsaban572 $180 on the secondary. You could find one in like new condition probably.

[@ShoahBiz]

I just purchased one like new with great action and centering for $185. I like micarta and g10 so now I’ll have a micarta and g10 pm2 ha. What better materials do you like

[@chriswarras6328]

I have both the salt and a crucartta the salt is better

[@12345Sui]

Why would you coat CPM Magnacut!? 😳

[@ShoahBiz]

It’s not as corrosion resistant as h2 and and just to give it a black out look I guess. Also now if you want black handles and satin blade you gotta buy 2 and swap parts so gotta spend more money with spyderco lol

[@sebastianniqvist3144]

Why is it called SALT? What does it mean anyone?

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

“Spyderco's Salt Series knives are named for their use in marine environments, specifically saltwater, and their extremely rust-resistant steel.”

Its stupid expensve in eu atm

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

How much?

[@ShoahBiz]

Maybe see if you can find someone on bladeforums or somewhere who is willing to ship to eu at your expense. Idk how much that costs tho

[@guspap9219]

Great looking knife. Please change the auto focus option on your camera. It is annoying constantly zooming on and off focus.

[@TJ_EDC_Life]

Sorry about that. Thanks for the advice. I will make sure it’s turned off next time.
