Spyderco PM2 vs ZT0562cf - more fun

[archieblue]

I choose the PM2 based on price and build quality. For your criteria I would also choose PM2. There are more ways to manipulate it. Plus you could get a PM2 AND a Millie for the price of the 0562CF. ...and the Millie is my overall fav.

I think opening the 0562 is more fun. I think closing the PM2 is more fun.

Between the PM2 and 0562, I like the the 0562 more for just just flipping around. The flipper with KVT has incredibly smooth action, and the heftier handle just feels better in hand.

Just to throw out another idea... I like the Delica even more for use as worry beads. Once you get the one-handed closing motion down (it is a little more involved than a frame or compression lock), it's actually rather therapeutic. And the Delica is a great knife too, in case you need to cut stuff.

I will add my endorsement for the Delica. For some reason I find it more fun to open and close than the PM2, notwithstanding the fact that it's just a plain ole lockback.

I have both and really can't give a definitive answer.
The Para 2 is the Para 2......amazing knife, I have 5, that is loads of fun to flick away on. My 562CF is a joy also....I'm able to flick mine with the blade stops, so I have a couple options.
I guess for plain old flicking fun......PM2 by a hair........but I LOVE the 562!!!
Not much help I guess.......so get both!!

I was able to do that exactly twice. It's definitely no Hinderer in that department.
