The more I've used mine, the more I like it. The improvements were well thought out, and the ergonomics have definitely been improved, especially when not using the coil. that little bit of room makes a big difference, and it looks a lot better when closed.
the one thing I miss is the old clip, I am a right-handed, tip-down kind of guy though, but I understand that a large number of people were put off by that on the para 1.
With the 4-way clip, and the G-10, S30v version priced just over $100, I think this knife will be a top seller for Spyderco. That fantastic Military blade shape in a smaller package, premium materials, nested liners, fantastic ergo's, one of the smoothest pivots I've handled, and a tough tough lock. I could go on and on, but really, with this knife at this price, there is nothing out there that can even compare.
Good job Spyderco!
