Well first off I'm new to the forum, so I want to say HI to everybody, and second ( I know you guys/girls are going to hate me) but I just don't like the Delicate 4 FFG, I like the way it feels BUT, I don't like the way it opens, I'm assuming it's of the back lock design?. Even with my small hands its to hard to open, so I sent it back to Amazon, but I want to get another Spyderco, I want the Paramilitary 2, but it's OOS at Amazon, but they have the Miliatary available, should I grab it? I love the Camp G10 with the BLACK blade..SO SEXY, or should I get something else? Thanks

id say wait for the pm2.
With a bit of patience, you should be able to score one here for around $100.
If you had big hands or wore gloves all the time, id go with the milli.
since I've been playing with my camera for the last couple days ill post a comparison pic for you.

If you like the size of the Delica you should wait for a PM2 over the Military. The Manix2 might be something to look at too, as well as the Sage series or Chaparral.

TY for the reply, Im unpainted so I might opt for the Milli or the Manx 2 now, but I don't want to get a used on as there are a TON of FAKES out, so I will wait till Amazon gets me in stock, or if there's another place to look at?
 
TY, I have the Tanicious now, but it squeeze when opened,, it makes it feel cheap to me, but I LOVE the spyder hole.
 
I went through something very similar as far as liking the Delica but not how it opens, I had already bought the Delica when I soured on it and have ended up buying a Manix 2 Lw (still inbound). If possible, try to handle them in person. If not, buy online from Blade HQ, GPKnives or one of our other supporting sponsors, their sponsorship helps to make this forum possible and in my personal experiences both are first class operations.
 
Wait for the PM2. The compression lock is awesome!!! And buy from a reputable/non epray/non big river source.

Big River these days is just as bad as epray, so if you are comfortable with rolling the dice.....please feel free.
 
BTW, many DELICA's are a bit stiff but quickly work themselves into opening and closing easily with one hand, even small hands. It's my daily EDC.


For PM2's, keep an eye on the Knife Exchange - http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/892-For-Sale-Production-Folders-(Individual)

Easy peasy.

And no worries about the Big River sending you someone else's return or fake.

TY for your experience, i have no places by me that has them.
 
UPDATE..... I order the Military and A SOG Aegis, i will let you know how it is, i chose 1 day shipping so i will get em tomarrow, i wantedto thank everybody that helped me out.
 
The Military is a sweet knife, it's big but that's good, the asOG is horrible....I have nothing more to say about that knife.
