Similar in size but worlds apart in feel. The Para 2 is significantly lighter than the GB. I have found that I tend to carry my lighter knives more frequently, and those over 5 ozs., even the very nice ones like the GB, tend to get left behind.
When did you order that one? Hope it wasn't recently and then you end up with one of the first models. Maybe they had a return or Spyderco was sitting on some from the original batch until the CF sold out. I placed a preorder recently but my expectations will be the new upgraded model (lock,etc). I had the original and was not happy with it once I had the CF and was able to compare the two models.
Do you think the next batch out will be the 20cp?
I expect some of the S30Vs to hit next, with the Carpenter versions later this year. I received one with S90V on Friday, which arrived at a dealer earlier in the week with some S30V versions.
