That's a Techno. It came out earlier this year. Cool looking blade but its just out of my budget right now.

By ps do you mean combo edge? The blue and black versions come in Spyderedge or plain edge and the orange and carbon fiber sprints only come in plain edge.

As I cannot get a Paramilitary 2 here in Japan I had to jump ship for this purchase. Great knife, and my favourite Spyderco is still in the pic!

The build on it is very nice but I'm learning that I really find small knives without a choil not as comfortable as I would like. Give me the Dodo with the Leaf Storms blade and I think I'd fall in love on the spot. So I like it more than I dislike it but it wont replace my Cricket.

Kershaw does put out some really high value folders. I don't own any yet but I am thinking of it, the Speedform is a great looking model.Are you happy with it?

Are you impressed with the 0350? I think this will be my next knife. I am also considering the 0550.

I am, I have used one quite a lot in the past which prompted me to get my own. I like the 0300 series better construction wise, but I don't need a folder that size.

The 0350s size is perfect for me as a knife for camping, used in conjunction with my Esee 4. The blade is a great shape, the S30V steel is wonderful and the assisted opening is just fun!

Fit and finish are exceptional and overall, I dont think you can go too wrong with this knife considering its only $100 or so.

I also like the 0550 as well, in fact the whole ZT line is difficult to fault.

I feel the same I love the 0300 particularly the machined G10 and frame lock but would I feel comfortable carrying it .... not really adn the same goes for the 0560/1. The 0350 and 0550 are just a far more practical size.

Custom Brad Southard

The Downing is a small, 3 finger knife and I love it. Its an awesome LBK that I would love to see produced by Spyderco.... its right up the Spydie-alley. Its a wicked little hawkbill with Titanium framelock on one side and G-10 liner and backspacer. The jimping is wery nice and well executed. The dipple jimping give it an extra nice look and its even in the Spydiehole! The 2 1/8″ blade has a nice rounded spine and is very similar in shape and lenght as the Dodo without a reverse S. A marvelous little EDC knife!! Hope you like it I do anyway :)
