Just recieved my Jr. today. Grind and laminations are amazing! Cuts mighty nice. Looks great.
Blade was coated with a film of what looked like WD-40 which I gently tried to remove with lens cleaning tissue. Looks like there may be another lacquer finish applied to the blade applied perpendicular to the grain of the knife, can't tell without muckin' up the finish. Gold leaf fill on the engraved spider is incomplete (center looks worn, and gray) or is extremely thin. Can anybody tell me if this is typical (Sal?)? Thanks.

Great little knife; I love mine.

Yesterday, I got mine (grey VG-10) back from Golden (needed some clip work, and loosening of the blade, cleaning, etc.). Great warranty work, by the way!
But somehow, I just reached for my Paramilitary again this morning. That G10 handle just can't be beat, the Para is lightweight...I'm hooked!
I carry a mini-dyad also, for when I need to cut something in front of sheeple...
Although the mini-dyad is a wonderful knife, too! I seem to recall a recent post that Spyderco is considering a new run of dyad-type
knives; definately looking forward to that :thumbup:
