Re: Paramilitary 2 SE

No idea how to link a pic here, but the serration pattern is identical to my Military 2 SE.

Re: Is a gun lube - protector spray like Gibbs good on Spyderco's

My favorite products for my knives are Rem Oil spray, Boeing T-9 Boeshield, and Corrosion-X. I'm also happy to use WD-40 if that's what is available.

Re: Which Spyderco for a Reliable and Versatile EDC?

I've bought a bunch of Spydercos over the last year. I really like most of them, but honestly my favorite one is the Tenacious with CPM- M4 comboedge blade. The K390 'Lil Temp is a close second.
Having said all that, I agree with others when it comes to the PM2. It's probably the best choice for a ...

Re: Military VS Police

I feel like if there were more steel options, especially in SE, the Police would be more popular. The best full size serrated option is the K390 SE Police, by far. I love mine. I'd love to get a G-10 Police in CPM-M4 or CTS-XHP.

Re: Para3 cpm 15v BBB

Boeshield T-9 is excellent, and is available on Amazon. I highly recommend it. Sentry Tuf Cloths and Marine Tuf Cloths are excellent as well. They're widely used by knife makers. Ernie Emerson recommended them to me.

Re: Not criticizing, just curious

As someone who grew up buying knives in the 1980's and early 90's, I can say that the quality of stuff today, even the cheap stuff, is far better in my experience. I've purchased a lot of Spyderco knives over the last 6 months, along with a few Emerson's and Pro-Techs. I've been blown away by the ...

I received my 15v M2 on Monday. As far as I can tell, it is absolutely perfect. Fit and finish, build quality, edge...perfect. I'm really glad I picked one up. Thank you Spyderco and Shawn Houston!

Re: 15v and K390: Assuage my fears

A wipe down and a bit of lube on the pivot when new, and an occasional wipe after use should be fine. I use Boeshield T-9 and a Sentry Marine Tuf Cloth. These products are the best I've found. Well worth it.

Re: The Lil' Temperance 3 Lightweight: A comprehensive review

Received my plain edge today from National Knives. This one is even better than the SE model I got a week ago. Beautiful polish, fit and finish is really just about perfect. This knife and the Sage 5 Maxamet have made me fall in love with 3" blades again. Well done Sal!

Excellent choices, Sal! I imagine something out of a James Bond film - you walking into a vast underground room with one of every Spyderco knife ever made...
