Ive gotten so used to the comp lock now that going back to a liner or frame lock for a few days is a real pain. I have cut a great deal in the past week and really appreciate the fact the Pm2 is just a laser. I hit it with the UF's on my SM and then stropped it with 1 micron diamond upon receiving it and I mean its the sharpest knife Ive ever had. FFG and that tip makes it ideal for ED cutting and defensive work if needed. It is just about .75 inches to long, take off little of the blade and a little of the handle and it would be the "perfect" size, for me anyway.
