Why is the Paramilitary 2 so easy to get beyond sharp??? Its almost mystical.

Mine too is very easy to get crazy sharp. Same thing with my Sage 2 where blade geometry does contribute. Only other knives that seem to get a level above in sharpness are my very thin bladed traditionals.

It depends alot on the tp. The tp at my work is more like newsprint than nice soft tp.

Ouch, must really hurt to wipe with.

To be honest, I don't see much of a use for such a sharp edge unless it's on a kitchen knife used only to cut fruit, vegetables, fish, and boneless meat. Anything other than that just seems to blunt the edge down to only shaving sharp after only a few cuts.
