Southfork and cts204p para have ruined knives for me

[legato1]

The s90v and cts204p are such good cutters and easy to maintain that all my other knives never see any use. I try but i instantly notice the lower edge retention and less aggressive cutting edge in my other knives of various steels (vg10, aus6, aus8, 154cm, s30v, s35vn, elmax, 1095, and h1) and wish i had carried the para or southfork instead. Although the serrated h1 is pretty awesome. These super steels are ruining my standards. I guess i have to get some 10v and s110v now that the lightweight manix and k2 are out. Im glad spyderco is pumping out models in crazy new steels because i dont think i can go back to anything less.

I hear ya man! I own em both and they are awesome. The Southfork gets used a ton cleaning fish and cooking! Here's a pic from an hour ago.

The South Fork and the CTS204P Para 2 are now my two favorite knives. I frequently carry both, and hey, they match!

I actually sanded the polish off of the handles of my Southfork with 150 grit sandpaper to bring up the fibers and make it rougher. I found the polished handle a bit slippery when wet and bloody.
