Everything you've said is applicable to the other two knives FYI
I respectfully disagree...
Very reliable.
Excellent at cutting.
Yes, this certainly applies to all three knives.
Strong as any folder needs to be.
Possibly, but the Farmer is definitely not as strong as the other two knives as it has thinner blade-stock.
Time proven track record.
Yes for the 110 and the Farmer, but not for the Para-military.
Compared to the 110 and the Farmer, the Para is still wet behind the ears.
I'm not sure when Victorinox first released the Farmer, but I think it's based upon the Pioneer model....and the Pioneer model with the aluminum alox scales and stainless steel blades has been around probably at least since the 1950's.
And the Buck 110 has been around since 1967.
But IIRC, the Para-Military made its debut in Spyderco's 2004 catelog, so it's only been around for about four years.
Extremely comfortable handle for long term cutting.
Again, no....the Farmer can't even come close to the 110 in this category.
And I find the pocket-clip of the Para to greatly reduce the comfort when doing long-term or hard cutting.
The 110's handle is simply outstanding for long hard use.
Easy to sharpen on nearly any stone.
No, I think that the harder blade-steel of the Para is certainly more difficult to sharpen than the softer blade-steels of the Farmer and the 110....especially when just using an improvised whet-stone found in the woods.
Very rust resistant too.
But I'm not so sure about the Para....with its steel liners it has alot of steel surface area.
