Just pulled the trigger on my first Spydie!

Been eying the PM2 for several months now and when CS got the black/satin model in stock my resistance crumbled. Under $100 shipped isn't bad though, considering they're out of stock everywhere. I can't wait for it to get here :D

Probably the Gayle Bradley, I had a really hard time deciding between it and the PM2.

I didn't get the Gail Bradley for a long time, there was always something else on my
list ahead of it, but you won't be disappointed.

Congratulations on your new knife and welcome to the Spyderco Forum. I think you'll like the ParaMillie, just like everybody else ;)

Yes, hesitated on the Bradley for a long time and when I finally got it, I immediately got another for a backup in case it's dc'd.

Oh yeh, you won't be disappointed.

I was deciding between the Gayle Bradley and PM2 for my first Spyderco as well. I actually had the GB added to my cart and almost bought it. Let it sit in my cart overnight and the next morning, purchased a PM2, lol. I'm glad I did though...loving the PM2...seems to be great for just about anything.

My first Spydie was a Worker that I purchased in about 1995.While I do have favorites my biggest problem is that I like them all.I'm 72 years old and still can't wait for the new models to come out.

I started with a PM2. I now have two of those, and just got a Gayle Bradly. The fit and finish on the GB is superb. Polished stainless liners, CF scales, tip up or down carry on either side, excellent steel, lazer sharp from the factory. I am very impressed with the Gayle Bradley. It's kicked all the others out of my pocket. The liner lock on it is very solid. I would not hesitate to tackle any cutting task with it. Had I bought the GB first I probably would not have the PM2's right now.
Thanks,

Marty
