i and MANY others have found that it doesn't matter what knife you "need", but rather the knife you "think you need". :D
You should never have to ask yourself "do i really need another knife?" The answer is obvious...

Right now, I think I need this one. Next week? Who knows? A few weeks ago, I thought I needed a simple, non-locking, non-spyderco pocket knife. I sold it already. It's hard to go back to knives that require both hands to open.

What are these markings next to the hole, on side opposite from the spyder?

Oh yeah, there are a LOT of knives I think I need! I'm just a newbie to Spyderco, but a long time user/collector. My last Spyderco was a titanium Military, and after carrying and using this knife for a while, I just have to sing it's prasies! :D It is a fantastic slicer, and holds the edge for a long time, at least for the time I've had it which is nearly 1 month, strong lockup and tight lockup, just a perfect knife to me! :D

Those are the stylized signatures/personal logos of Sal Glesser and his son Eric, who both contributed to the design of the Paramilitary 2.

Surely I am not the only one who noticed that Yablanowitz has a screw missing from his Para 2?

I didn't until you mentioned it. I bet customer service would be happy to help.

Huh, how about that? Count me among those who hadn't noticed. :o
I don't believe in safe queens, only in pre-need replacements.

There are several people on here that have that same problem. Myself included if you were to ask the wife.
