GP has some.
I'm waiting for a super blue pm2. Now that would be sweet
I don't think that'll ever happen. AFAIK, most japanese steels never get exported out, the knives have to be made in Japan to receive such steel. That being said, the PM2 is made in the USA, so it'll only use USA steels or steel that can be imported to the US.
It seems like they maybe could cut the blades at the seki city factory and ship them to the Golden facility to be assembled if they won't ship regular bar stock.
The entire knife has to be made in Japan. Not just the blade.
That's why the only knives using superblue, zdp-189, vg10, etc. are the endura, Delica, dragonfly, and the likes.
That's Japan. 10 years of economic stagnation and they still cling to Nationalistic trade policies. Amazing from a country with such limited natural resources...
Back up on BladeHQ too!

Tempted to get a backup but not at that price since I found one for $144 on Sunday...
