So, I picked up two new blades. I got a Spyderco Para-Military and a Vic Farmer (kept hearing everyone talk about them, and I had to try it out). First impressions, I like them both. I might have to start leaving the fixed blades at home. The Para is sharp as hell, and the G-10 handle fits my hand perfectly. Flat-ground, S30V, american made. Can't go wrong. :D

Ooh, forgot to mention the compression lock on the Para. It's great. Locks up solid as a rock, and is just a really neat feature. I'll try to get some picks up, but I really stink at photography. I dont have the time right now, because my wife is dragging me to the movies to see that horrible-looking sex in the city movie. I'm hoping to break off and go see the strangers. Wish me luck. :(
 
The Para-Military is an awesome knife. Like you said: FFG S30V, G-10, Comp Lock, Made in USA = a winner.
 
I actually got them both at Smokey Mountain Knife Works. I was in Pigeon Forge, TN on vacation, and went by the store. It is a wonderful place.
 
Here you go!

Damn. I probably should have ordered mine from Amazon, because I paid nearly twice that for the Farmer. Still, worth every penny I paid.
 
There are rumors that Vic may be discontinuing the Farmer (it is based around the Soldier, which is being switched to a different design, Swiss MilSpec has changed). If you are thinking of getting one, it is probably better to get one now than later.
