NovanglianOne thing for me is that massdrop offer the lowest shipping eg: under $5 for knives. And bladehq is over $30. I don't live in the USA so this is the cheapest place to get pretty much any knife.

JDM_GTI can get on board with that. I live in the US so BladeHQ shipping is $3. I think international customers are the only way this drop is making any sense. By the way what country are you from?

NovanglianIt’s a win for me. I rolled the dice, the drop just moved forward (yah!!!), I don’t need the case (a knife is meant to be used!!!!) so I saved a few bucks (saved a bit more since I had an additional credit) I honestly don’t mind the wait - I have a PM2 in S30v.
Life is good. But I hear what you are saying. But I guess my point is Massdrop will work for some folks.
I may swap out the clip with a deep carry and the scales with carbon fiber just for fun. I have these lying around somewhere. Depending if this is the blue or red loctite model. For those who are thinking of doing the same thing beware if your knife had red loctite ( they only recently switched to blue), you’ll strip the screws. You can take special precautions or send your knife in to Spyderco for them to back out the screws for you.
Cheers!

Buy it right now, at this exact same price, with free shipping, at both KnifeCenter and BladeHQ:

https://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderco-Paramilitary-2-Knife-Dark--31164
These are just the first two vendors I checked, but I imagine others are also selling at this price.
And, OK, to be fair, MD's price is actually$10 lower, if you get the knife without the useless case ... So in return for only $10 ( a 6% discount), you get to wait for weeks to get your purchase - if the drop even attracts enough buyers to go forward. If this seems like a good deal to you - great! For me, not so much ...
MSRP is actually $254.95, but who pays full MSRP for Spyderco products - ever?
For that matter, why does anyone sign up for a MD offering like this (complete with delayed shipping!) without even checking the actual online retail prices at major knife vendors?
More importantly: why does MD persist in promoting offers like this as "bargains," when they clearly are not?
For the five of you who signed up for this drop without checking other sites, it's not too late to cancel your order, buy this great knife at the same price at KnifeCenter or BladeHQ - and have the knife in your hand next week, instead of a month from now.
