bump, im in for pics

Agree on the Endura, Mike. In fact I have a black Endura that I ordered from somewhere a year or so ago that has a shortened blade that someone ground down to make it legal in Longmont, Colorada or wherever it was made. It has a signature on the side of it that says Michael something or other, I be...

I wish we could just get a reason for the delay...

I want this one so bad!!

It seems pretty stout in pictures but I probably wouldn't use it to shuck walnuts and coconuts. In pure performance Doc Snubnose performed a meat test and here were the results: Matriarch1 SE: Downward slash: 2.25" Thrust/downward pull: 5"/2.5" Horizontal slash 2.25" Crossbill P...

i love reading stories that share similar traits to how i started with spyderco.

i honestly might order one just to swap the lock side G-10 scale to a black one, which i have already, and have a "black and blue" tenacious...

this is a great knife for the money and it is the sole reason for what got me obsessed with Spyderco!

i have been thinking of this same situation in my head b/c i love the look of the caly 3 and if i would get it, it would replace the duties of my sage 1...which i LOVE!! This is a hard one, and in the end, i prob will get the caly 3 and just alternate the 2 (sage 1 and caly 3) for the occasion... I ...

Bump for an update...

I have been on a spydie diet for this knife and im getting really hungry!!!!!!!
Does anyone have any info???

I am a big para 2 fan so i wouldn't mind seeing where this amazing knife came from. If i can find one for cheap on the bay i might get it...

^^^ LMFAO omg that is so funny, you beat me too it!!!

im with you OP, except for the fact of initially thinking they/it looked ugly.

i have really been itching for one but i can decide on 3 or 3.5. I tend to like larger blades but i love the carbon look with the wire clip...

im in for this discussion

Ya i totally agree about the dog over human. Honestly im going to rely on my fist in most situations. Like someone said above, its very quick and you need something that can be deployed fast and with little mental effort, second nature...then again, i can do this with all my Spydies. My gf makes fun...

i bring my H1 D'fly every time to the gym (ya i literally don't go anywhere without a knife) and on every run. Its perfect for inside the waist band and you cant even feel it. It can be useful in self defense if ever needed... the delica size would be the largest i would go for exercise carry

So the DLC is indeed corrosion resistant... Thank you for the research input guys

if your going to get one of the originals, do the black handle/DLC with black hardware (they recently changed the hardware to black). it looks so nasty, i can barely look at pics without.... ehehaahh yup [img]http://www.gpknives.com/images/spyderco/C81GPBK2[large].jpg[/img] And BTW i am perfectly co...

We haven't seen any sprint in Foliage Green for a while, I wonder if we'll see one for the Para and what steel it will be.

grey is what they called it then?

^ lol but i would have to agree with the OP. Even if it doesnt help with corrosion, it looks awesome. They should have done it with the orange CS para 2.

can someone give a brief description of how DLC doesn't increase rust resistance?? i was under the impression that it did as-well...

AWESOME pic. God i love pm2's.

Im looking for a tan handle one, so PM if you are interested in selling! :)

The beautiful thing about the compression lock is that it achieves that high strength with a lightweight open pillar flow through design that is easy to keep clean and by nature would not fail when bunged up with dirt or sand. I have a real problem with backlocks and sandy work environments and alt...

good comparison pics. Props to whoever took that comp lock pic of the para 2. great way to get a visual.
