I've had my camo black coated Para 2 for a week now. I like it a lot and it cuts like a razor. I have a few questions for Para 2 owners:

Have you taken it apart to clean? If so, was it difficult to put back together?

I have the CPM-S30V Premium Stainless Steel? Is there a difference b/w the premium and the regular? What is the S30V blade heat treated at?

Thanks!
 
If you take it apart the warranty is gone. I don't think the premium is any different that regular, just how they describe it. I've heard Spyderco has the heat treat figured out pretty well with the S30V and mine if sharpened and no burr is left over stays hair popping sharp for days even with moderate use.
 
There is no need to take it apart to clean in my opinion. You can just wash it with hot soapy water and a toothbrush, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.

As for the CPM S30V premium steel, premium is just describing the steel as being a premium steel, not different grades of the steel itself. I believe they aim for 59-60 HRC when heat treating.

I just read S30V in Spyderco knives are easier to sharpen then other brands. It may be the higher HRC.
