I ordered a Paramilitary 2 last week, and I picked it up earlier today. It was hair popping sharp out of the box as Spyderco knives usually are. It isn't quite as sharp as my AFO 2 auto is, but still impressively sharp. The reverse liner lock will take some getting used to though. It seems to be very durable and built to last. The blade feels very smooth when opening and closing, plus there is no blade play whatsoever. Overall I am very impressed, this knife is everything I expected it to be. It is a nice addition to my small Spyderco collection.
