I don't get the hype either, seems like a quality knife but I can't see what about causes so much mass hysteria... To me there are plenty of comparable knives out there with the same blade steels, same handle material, similar ergonomics, and (arguably) better locking mechs that don't have nearly the same following of the PM2. Not a knock to PM2 owners in any way, because as I said it's definitely a quality knife, but it just doesn't do it for me like it does for others.
I own fairly high quality frame (integral) locks, liner locks, lock backs and axis locks, and I've yet to see a locking mechanism that matches all aspects of the compression lock. IMHO it is the best out yet in terms of simplicity, strength, safety and usability.
