+ I don't see collecting as hoarding really. Collecting is usually strategic, if it's not well then maybe that is hoarding. + If you like a knife and purchase more than two of the very same model—one beyond a back-up—that is very clearly hoarding and there is something wrong with you. + If you find ...

I agree with alancamby, Grizzled, MCM and others. My Para2 lock is difficult to close. It seems that I need to bring the lock-bar into contact with the scale to get it to disengage. In addition to lengthening the lock tab I wonder too if the lock bar could be bent inward in a less abrupt way? [It wo...

I hate to be critical of such a great company and product but I must agree that the lock disengagement is difficult. I'm a bit concerned about cold wet hands in January... fumbling. Additionally, I haven't found a way to close it one-handed that isn't somewhat dangerous. Other than this one function...

Good comments overall. I must totally agree with kbuzbee, he summed it up rather well. The amount of ball travel as stated above by P40_Warhawk is seems like a solid observation. If I might add; is lateral blade play caused by bending/flaring of the liners near the tang? Or is it caused by a stretch...

Good Stuff
Like so many out there, I too have held off on the Para. The design seemed unfinished to me. I myself wouldn't label the Para-2 improvements as 'refinements' and I'm happy that Spyderco has the sense to advance/correct this knife. Good design, i.e. good ergonomics and usefulness always precede senti...

Rough Jimping / CTS Manix 2
Just got a CTS-XHP Foliage Green Manix 2 yesterday. I am a bit surprised in that the jimping and adjacent blade tang is a bit rough. It looks a bit 'cobby' but functions perfectly well. On all of my other Spydercos the jimping is clean and precise. Just wondering if anyone has a thought—experience—i...

Why not?
Jeez, tough crowd. To have parts inventory seems like a reasonable request. Especially for those parts that are vulnerable to wear or breakage. There are a lot of non-knife companies out there that maintain inventory–for decades. The storage space and initial cost for stock would be nominal wouldn't...
