I'm in love!

Last week, I came to the startling realization that I had not bought a blade for myself (or received one) in almost 4 months. Shocked, I figured I should rectify the problem by browsing what was available. My initial find was a Gayle Bradley, as I had bought one for a friend and thought it a beautiful knife. Browsing some more, I came across the Paramilitary 2. I was unaware they were that (comparatively) cheap, roughly $100, for something made in America with great materials. That sealed the deal, and I ordered one and waited not so patiently over the weekend.

Well, it arrived today, and all I can say is wow. This knife is amazing. Buttery smooth, sharper out of the box than anything else I've ever got, and nigh on perfect fit and finish. I knew the PM2 was earning rave reviews, but know that I'm holding it in hand, I can definitely see why. I really am in love - the ergonomics are just perfect, the size is great, and the compression lock is quite interesting. I love the idea of it, and initial impressions sure make me feel confidant that it won't accidentally disengage due to its positioning. Spyderco really hit a home run with this knife, and it will be getting the lion's share of pocket time

I just have one question - I have seen some with Sal and Eric's logos engraved next to each other, and on opposite sides of the hole. Is this related to manufacturing date?

I think some of the very first PM2s only had Eric's or Sal's logo on it. Emphasis on the "think" in that previous sentence. I'm sure someone with better knowledge can confirm.

And you're right, the PM2 is among my favorite Spydercos. They hit the nail on the head. It's almost forced me to get rid of my Manix 2, which are among my favorites.
