I love the compression lock so I got the Paramilitary 2. I'd love to see that lock (best lock in my opinion) in a smaller knife, but I don't think it is practical/possible in a knife the size of the Ladybug/Dragonfly/etc. A Manbug with a compression lock would be cool, but again, I don't know how ...

I haven't taken mine apart, but if you use a proper/quality tool you should rarely run into stripping issues.

I guess ignorance is bliss... I'm new to knives and I'm not a steel nut. After I got a taste of knives with the Tenacious, I realized I wanted something a little better to EDC (similar to what happened to me with lights). I loved the compression lock and finally decided to get a Paramilitary 2. I ...

I'm new to knives and sharpening but I think the Lansky is a great system. I didn't want to do hand sharpening with stones because of the skill required (maintaining the correct angle), and I felt the Sharpmaker made this easier for the most part but you still had to maintain the correct angle to ...

I don't use my knife that often, but it would be too questionable for me to use on food since it would likely not be as clean as the cutlery provided. I honestly have never been at a restaurant and found the supplied knife was not able to separate my food into smaller pieces (but I'm odd and never ...

I got a Paramilitary 2 recently and a tenacious a while ago. I can't imagine a better knife than the Paramilitary 2. I'm looking to get a small folder like the manbug or ladybug 3 for dress clothes/work when the PM 2 is too large.

I had to join and post because I find the Paramilitary 2 to be the best knife available currently for me (and I just got one a week ago), and the Nissan GTR is my dream car and also one of the best cars available currently.
