I am aware of that policy. I think Benchmade does it, too. However, it takes me less than five minutes to sharpen a plain edge knife, so it's really not worth it to me.for those that complain of the difficulties of of sharpening the serrated blades, you perhaps do not know of the spyderco sharpening service?
it runs about 2 weeks including shipping, and costs a whopping $5(for return shipping). good for the life of the blade.
i know you cant wear out an edge on the serrated blades as fast as me, i cut tons and tons of poly robe at work, and that eats the edges. i send mine in every 3 months or so.
i figure that will equate to 6-9 months normal usage.
While we are at it, why not get one with the built in glocktool like lonewolf was selling
If we can get the black and OD color, I'm down for a few.

if we did that i would not be interested.
If I were to get one I would want the NON serated blade! They are easier to sharpen!
I hate a dull knife!
Therefore...Possibly depending on cost and model....
Agreed.
D2? Very few people have the skill or inclination to keep a D2 blade sharp. I know I don't. Excellent steel, but takes a LOT of effort to keep up.
AUS 8 or S30V would be more realistic, I think.
I have a first-run Military with 440V. Hard to get a good hair-popping edge on it, and when you do it doesn't last. Great knife DESIGN, though a bit too large for comfortable EDC in street clothes. I understand the current ones have better steel.
That ParaMilitary is about perfect, but I highly doubt the price would be low enough to generate much interest. I suspect most of us here are in the same boat; we have plenty of useful knives, and would buy one of these purely for the unusual factor.
Not trying to rain on the parade... but we gotta be realistic about it.

Having organized a ton of group buys - keep it under $50.
Something between the size of the calypso jr and endura.
My favorite carry spyder is the calypso jr...
