Its been a while since I have bought a new knife, but the other day I won a poker tourney at a neighbors house and thought to myself what can I buy with the winnings. I looking at knife reviews online and came across this forum. There was a lot of good reviews and info on the forum. I was swayed to buy a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 just by the shear amount of enthusiast of the knife on this forum. I then searched on here for the place online that I could get the knife. Again from all of the patronage to Newgraham.com on this forum, I knew this was the place to get it. I was not disappointment in either case. I ordered the knife on Sunday and by Wednesday it was in my hot little hands. The knife is a piece of hard use mans art. I cannot put it down. It is everything I have ever lusted for in a knife. My Spyderco Delica, sorry to say is going to be retired after 5 years of dependable use. Just wanted to say thanks to you all for the good info and making my decision real easy. To bad now that I am up to date on all of the cool stuff out there, I have a few prospects for new knives and my girl and wallet are going to hate you all for it. Cheers!
