Interesting article.

A good read, thanks. The writer forgot to mention Sal's love for spyder's, sports cars.
 
Why on earth did they say the military over the PM2? Totally disagree.

Another thing they should have mentioned is Spydercos tendency to use exotic steels that in some cases are only used by custom makers, examples of groundbreaking steels they have made knives with:
-ZDP189 on a large scale
-Maxamet (successfully)
-S110V (extremely hard to work with)
-Superblue in an American brand
-H1
-HAP40/Rex45 (advanced modern PM HSS)
-Popularizing Cruwear again

Because opinions vary, like in real life. Most people would agree with you on the PM2, I find the Para 2/3 boring, I don't own a single one(lost count of the inventory, 40-50 or so). Just picked up a Military TI, awesome knife, fills the hand. The blade length for when I can't carry a longer one works better than the Para's for my tastes.
This is just one of many articles out there, it is not an inclusive one, I just thought it was interesting. Feel free to post up some better ones, I do enjoy reading interesting ones.;)
 
On a quick scan of that article the knives they chose were foundational ones that led to other popular models.

There wouldn't be a PM2 without the Military and Paramilitary before it.
