The only failures that I had with the original Persian were broken lock springs. The 2 that I got back, the spring had rusted and pitted and broke. Your experience is not what I call normal operation of this knife, or a problem that I have experienced. Send it back to Spyderco so they can have a lo...

This is an easy one for me. The Dragonfly is my most carried knife now. I have the g10 model and it is better for two reasons--first the g10 is really well textured on it and I prefer g10. But most importantly, it has a removable wire clip. I did remove that clip and I use it as a pure pocket knife-...

I had one then sold it fairly quickly. To me this is an example of a knife looks VERY cool but is a bad user. I didn't like the slippery scales and design that almost promoted hand slippage on to the edge of of the blade if hands got wet. Not a good using design in the original size. Prob a little b...

Persian 2 lock
Hi--I just purchased a new Persian 2 and after having played with it a little I am doubting that I want to keep it. One thing I'm not impressed with is the strength of the lock spring. Its a back lock but seems to take almost no effort to depress lock. The other Spydie back locks I have, a Dragon Fl...

easy
go with the para 2--I have both and think the 2 contains several improvements over the original with no disadvantages.

edge bevel question
I am wondering what the degree of bevel is on the sage 1 and the paramilitary 2. I am a little confused about bevels--it seems sometimes people add both sides of the blade when indicating bevel--so when they say 30, they mean 15 degree bevel on both sides right? It seems like I see 17-23 as the most...

Have you tried keeping your (right) thumb in the hole while pressing the tab with the index finger? Then just close using the hole. The easiest way for me is just press the tab and shake the blade closed, it only takes a small shake. No offense, but if you have to come up with well thought out way ...

Mine was easy opening right out of the box. One thing to note is that it is not as smooth on the initial centimeter of opening becasue of the additon of the ball bearing, which helps greatly with the closed retention. Closed retention was one of the biggest problems with para 1. Para 2 is a better k...

I was highly anticipating the 3.5, but changed my mind after buying a caly 3 with CF scales. You see, I LOVE the Caly 3 and now believe that it is more of an edc knife than a field use knife--Its handle is too thin and the ergonomicas are such that I wouln't want to have to use it a lot camping etc....
