That's interesting "brownshoe" and I'm not disputing you because you may be right about that. But what I do know is that from guys I've talked to on at least 3 forums that had the serrated version of the Ayoob told me that because of the belly and overall blade geometry it was the very best fully serrated knife Spyderco ever made.
Low sales and great performance aren't mutually exclusive. I remember seeing Ayoobs in the SMKW catalog for years at crazy low prices. It takes a certain kind to like the Ayoob design. It takes a different certain kind to appreciate serrated edges. The subset of the two is pretty small. I love serrated edges but have no desire to own an Ayoob at all.
I'm still hoping for a Para 2 in fully serrated. I'm committed to buying a dozen if it will help the cause. If I had the bucks I would commission my own sprint run, keep 20 and sell the others on eBay.
