I know I know.. Im really late joining the party. I've read all the hype.. I've owned plenty of nice knives including spydercos so I KNEW it was going to be a sweet blade.. But even after knowing all o that, I was unprepared. I ALWAYS can find something I'd like to have different.
Well, Its nicer than I thought it was going to be. Its everything I read about (egos, smooth, the great jimping yada yada) but what I didn't realize, because I ordered without holding it, is that the size.. is perfect. Ive had many EDC that I liked a lot
that I wised were just a smidge larger or smaller.. basically I've always wanted THIS size. Also.. the weight, OMG the weight is just a bit less than I was expecting and in a great way. This will be replacing an Emerson that Ive been EDCing and while I like the Emerson
its a bit heavy some of the time. I know that the last thing you guys want to read is ANOTHER gushing para2 thread but listen.. I LOVE folders like this and Im soooooo frigging picky. I've been searching for perfection for years and years and thousands of dollars.
(strider, chris reeve, benchmade, hinderer, spyderco, emerson, etc.,) I have to use this one for a while but so far I can't find anything I'd change. Sal.. you NAILED IT. Could this be it? The end of the quest? :confused:

Edit- Almost forgot another important win for this folder.. $140. As much as I love SNG's and I've owned 6 or 7.. that price tag always bothered me. Whereas with the Para2 I feel like I got a bargain and its not so expensive that I'll hesitate to use it in every instance.

Well, you might have found "the knife," but think of the possibilities with different blade steel, scales, etc.?
:)
