His son, Eric Glesser had a big part in modifying/redesigning the Paramilitary model as well. I'm glad you have come to love it so much and I showing your gratitude. I agree wholeheartedly, thank you for creating my favorite knife designs like the Para 2, Stretch 2, Caly 3.5 etc. (I could practically list like half the spyderco lineup).
I agree that the Para 2 is a phenomenal knife, no doubt whatsoever. Even though I was enamored with it long before I held it in my hand, the more I use it, the more I like it. I think that like most Spyderco's, it's one of those knives that you have to use to understand just how great it is, and the more you use it, the more you appreciate it. It is just about perfect for my EDC needs, and is similar in blade size, amount of belly, and handle design to my favorite EDC, the Stretch 2.
Can't wait for the Gray G-10/CTS-20CP sprint!!! Sal, if you read this, could you let us know whether the sprint is scheduled to begin production any time soon? I remember you saying that you were waiting on the steel from Carpenter

Sal, I would also like to thank you and Eric for your redesign of the P-Mill. I have four of them including the cf S90V version and it's an absolute gem. I can't wait for the Gray Carpenter sprint to roll through.
Would you ever consider making a peel-ply carbon fiber S90V Caly 3.5? That would be an amazing knife and I would buy as many as I could, for sure.

Totally agree about the PM2 and the Caly 3.5 which are my two favorite knives. I missed out on the 2 Para Military 2 sprints even though the gray G10 one has yet to be released, I'm too far down on the lists to have a realistic chance to get one except from the secondary market. I hope there will be some more done in the future because I'm sure the demand for them is very strong.
Also I'm certainly looking forward to whatever special versions of the Caly 3.5 the future may bring. Carbon fiber scales plus S90V would be awesome but since it's a Japanese made knife, I suspect we will be seeing a ZDP-189 version which is fine. I hope that somehow screw construction can be added to the Caly 3.5.
