Hi all,

So I read here and/or on the Spyderco forums that this knife was available from the Spyderco Factory Outlet (albeit at MSRP of $220), so I decided to order one rather than potentially pay $300+ on the secondary market. This is my first Para 2, and WOW! I love it! What a difference over the Para 1!

Anyway...I decided to snap a few pics of it to try to capture the handle color since I noticed it was almost an identical color to my desk top here at work. I also took pics of it laying on a stark white piece of copier paper for comparison. You'll see that the light handle color looks very noticeably different depending on the background. The pics suck since I took them with my 2 MP Blackberry camera, but maybe they'll help someone...

On my desk top, which is about the same color as the G10:

I will be buying more Para 2s... :D
 
You are going to love the steel. If you read ankerson's test comparison of 20cp and S90V, then they are comparable. I have my s90v one and it holds its edge forever. I was outside cutting up tons of ivy and vines and it can still slice like a boss. Plus I have't sharpened it since January. 4 months and still slicing cleanly. I just lost its shaving edge like a week ago.
