Just a comment on the Para 2

#1

Post by DRKBC »

Of the many great attributes of the Para2, like how it fits the hand, how feathery light it is, lock-up, Spyderco's impeccable F&F ... the list goes on. One thing in particular I love about this knife is how fun it is to open. It's like an automatic but better! You can flick it open with just about any finger you choose, spydie drop it or just smoothly lock it into position. I just love everything about the Para2, I don't know why I waited so long to get one!

For a moment I did not see the Para2 in the photo. I would like to see a Para2 XL, preferably Military sized. I do like the Para2 a lot but yearn for a bigger version after having used the Millie. Some of you would frown at this idea (or do something worse, perhaps even curse me). Just think about it a bit.

As I've said before, the Para 2 is pretty much the perfect knife, IMO.

The para2 was one of the first knives i bought, i later tried to find a knife that i liked more that could replace it. I tried kershaw and CRK. Lets just say i stopped looking ;)

I hadn't carried mine for a while but I did today and I just couldn't help but be amazed at how close to perfection it really is.

I agree with everything the OP said. And it gets even better when you use the knife. Just awesome.

One of the best knives I own. I have an STR mini clip on it and it just disappears in my pocket.

The PM2 will be an icon , a knife design that has evolved as the Stretch, and Police and other models . We should all enjoy the ride . MG2
