Finally got a Spyderco

[joemac]

The wife got me a paramilitary II for my birthday. She is good for something after all. Sucker is bloody sharp. I am surprised at how big it is.

Nice. You won't be disappointed. I'm considering one of those or the full size Military model.

Very nice wife... I mean knife! Well both! I like the finger notches on the blade. Where did she buy it? And happy birthday!

 

[joemac]

Thanks, she bought it on eBay. It was about $104 on my door. I'll see if I can find the seller. Shipped quick too. Generally I'm a buy it local kind of guy, but when the only one I can find local is $165, they loose the benefit of the doubt. I would have done $130 but not $60 more.

Edit found their store, and searched Spyderco. Looks like they have another black g10 scales with stainless like I have and a couple of different variations of the paramilitary II

I pretty much only carry Spyderco Endura with the wave, Delica and Rescue. I have a Native too but rarely carry it since the blade does not work as a boat fuel key. The others mentioned work As if they were designed for it. I've been looking for a Dragongly II for a while. Heard that they weren't coming out of Japan due to radiation. Don't know if that's true or not, but it's a good story for why dealers don't have them stocked. I try to shop local as well.

Congrats again.

Damascus Delica? Holy shit! Why'd you have to show me that?

If you don't mind ordering online, Jeff at Cutlery Shoppe looks like he has Dragonfly 2 models in stock, including the H1 Salt version. I ordered one from him two days ago.

Very nice. Congrats. One thing to watch out for with S30V is rolling the edge by getting too aggressive with a cut. It's easy enough to resharpen with Spyderco stones, though.

Very very nice. I have yet to hear of anyone being dissapointed with a Spyderco. Im jealous.

One of the guys here just picked up one of the new Spyderco Yojimbo Black G10's for himself on our last shipment. That thing is pretty sweet!

Now why'd you have to show me a knife, make me want to buy it, and it's discontinued?

That is really nice looking. I have never seen one of those!

I just ordered a para military II the other day it should be here early this week.

 

[joemac]

You will not regret that purchase. I have been using mine for EDC since mid November and it is sharp as a mother. Very pleased with how this blade holds an edge. I think it goes back to you get what you pay for.

Anyone a fan of gerber besides me?

Spyderco makes damn good knives as well though.

Yea sure I have about 3-4 Gerber's they are a nice knife. I gave 6 Gerber folders to my nephews for Christmas this year.

I carry a Gerber Multi-Tool everyday and use it hard. It works for me well. I've had several of their knives and been satisfied too.
