About a week or two ago I made a rash purchase of an edge pro and a StarTac. The StarT is arriving tomorrow. While I am bursting with excitement, I cant help but obsess over pictures of the digi-camo, satin blade, PM2. I'm a very utilitarian type of guy, only needing and wanting one tool. Many people here told me that if I buy a CR knife, it wont be my first and only knife. I strongly feel I will only stick to ONE knife. I've never been a collector. I've always purchased what I thought was the best version of something I wanted and made do. I don't like owning items that sit on shelves or in drawers. Although I researched over many brands of knives, the StarT was the one I was initially drawn to. Of course I was given an illegal amount of support for purchasing that knife from many knife junkies.
The paramilitary 2 was a knife I initially skimmed over. I thought it had an elegant blade shape, and looked very ergonomic to me. I've been watching youtube vids on sharpening knives with the edge pro, and would occasionally see the PM2 in some of the videos..
The more I glanced at the PM2, the more it beckoned me. The more I began to listen to myself and appreciate the subtleties of it. Although the StarT will arrive tomorrow, a part of me wishes it were the PM2. I've never held either knife, so this obsession has no basis in reality. I know deep down if I don't hurry and purchase a PM2, its going to slowly continue eating away at me. My fear is- I'll appreciate both knives and keep them both! This will also eat away at me, owning two knives when my personality is that of logic, screaming at me- I only need ONE. I know this post will seem like nonsense here, as most of you are of the collecting type, the more the merrier. I'm going to stick to my guns here though, and make myself decide on ONE, once they're both in hand. Which will be chosen to be my EDC for the foreseeable future? And which will be hitting the classifieds?..
My gut feeling is the PM2 is more "me," but maybe Chris Reeves' marvel of engineering and tolerance excellence will spell bind me. I guess its time to find out!!
