This is a question thread as much as it is an experience thread. I don't have much money as I am a student working very little hours. To compound it all, my dad is a pipefitter and construction is not doing so well in my state. He goes for long periods of unemployment and he can't use his skills to get hired by a non-Union company. We get by, but I don't have much extra cash. So when my student loan comes and I get a little excess cash I like to buy a knife. This time, I purchased a Paramilitary 2. I love this knife. What I found interesting is this: I find that I love my Militaries even more now that I have a Paramilitary 2. That's my story. My question is this: have you ever owned a high quality knife that you loved, but at the same time caused you to love another knife in your collection more than you did prior to owning the new knife? I make this distinction so people don't think I am saying something like, "This 25cent knife really makes me realize how amazing my Military is."
