Re: Spyderco/Farid K2

Heads up to CANUCKS looking for PARA2s.

Warriors and Wonders has Black on black and black and camo in stock.

Only 5 of each left at the time of posting this thread.

I just purchased an all black! Finally getting on the Paramilitary 2 train after carrying a Military for the last 4 and half years.

I admit. I have zero qualms with any design features of the Military. Just kicking up dirt!| Ive said it 1000 times, the Milie is the best designed folder out there. Handle length-blade length ratio is fine by me. I love it. Has the Milie been around for 15 years? I hope it lasts another 15 before '...

Military 2 when? (Military love thread)

Weve heard whispers for years.

Seems like a project that keep getting put to the side.

Also, with the popularity of the Para2, and the fact that the Military is still what seems to be a greatly successful and popular model -- will Spyderco ever take the leap?

Sal, youre our only hope.

Man I am REALLY $%#ING frustrated with this knife.

I cant even hit the edge with my sharpmaker on either setting. Its dull as ****.

Been trying to remove some of the thickness with the 30 degree setting for 2 hours know. Still cant hit the edge.

What a nightmare.

They have gone to a mold-injection sheath for the Street Bowie? Ugh :( I would prob mail it in and see if they can pull a better one out of the mix. That or return it and call up Warriors & Wonders to see if they can hand-pick a better one. I buy everything on Amazon...except Spyderco knives. B...

Definitely not a fake. From a Spyderco dealer, through Amazon.

Also, as far as I know, no one is faking Street Bowies.

And lastly, Ive owned thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of Spydercos. I can spot a fake.

Anybody have QC issues with their Perrin Street Bowie?

Ive bought A LOT of Japanese-made Spydies, and this is the first time I've ever come across any issues, albeit minor ones. Perhaps it isn't made in Seki? Blade is just marked Japan... My grind is majorly lopsided. Got two different angles on each side. I've never seen this on a Spyderco knife before...

Sooooo, time for a BARONG sprint yet, Sal?

A few years back you said there'd be one. Wondering if there are any plans.

That knife is pretty sought after these days.

How about a reduced ricasso? Polished G-10 and bolsters? CF? s90v? I mean, all with Mr. Schempp's blessing of course.

I hope Im not just dreaming.
