I EDC one, but I must admit it is not a knife I can take very where or take out to cut something when there are a lot of people around. I’ll use the Sage or a Dragonfly and for some jobs and environments a smaller knife is just better. Then there are days when I just need a big knife and wish my Para-military was a bit larger like the Military.
Why can’t my beloved Para-military be smaller or bigger or both?:D Yes I know! You can’t please some people. You give people the best productions in the world and they will still complain.
But I’m a Spyderholic! :spyder: I want more!
I don’t want just one Para-military, I want Four.
In four different sizes!
And I don’t just want four different knives that look like the Para-military. I want four knives that are the Para-military, the same balance and the same feel and work exactly the same.
When I change from one knife to the next, I don’t want to have to change anything I do in taking it out, opening it, closing and putting it away. The only difference in them would be the weight.
I want an EDC that is so familiar to me, that it becomes part of me, I don’t want to hesitate very time I take the knife out and close it again, to remember which knife it is and how it works. I want the only hesitation to be when I choose which size Para-military I want to carry that day.
:confused: Did I hear someone say it can’t be done?
That if you change the size of a knife it will never be the same?
I think it has already been done!
I think Eric has done it with the Ambitious, Persistence, Tenacious and Resilience.
Spyderco say they were all individually designed, but each difference in design seems to have brought them closer together.
If your hand knows one, it knows them all.
My impressions of them are, (I am guessing here so please correct me if I am off the mark) that it was the design intent, that these four knives feel as if you can change size of the knife you carry without changing the knife you carry. (If that makes any sense)
If it can be done with the Ambitious, Persistence, Tenacious and Resilience, could it be done with the Para-military?
Look at these and imagine they are Para-militaries
If you can; get hold of these four knives and see that you think.
I think they should turn Eric loose on the Para-military to see what he can come up with.
:D But that’s only what I think.
PS. If you would like to chuck in some carbon fiber and titanium, that would be nice too.
:o I think I will go and lay down now.
