I recently bought a Spyderco Para 2 honestly I can say this is the best knife I have ever owned it comes razor sharp from the factory and is such a good quality knife it is worth every penny you’re gonna pay for this knife. And trust me I was skeptical about this knife but all that went away and am sooo happy with its performance and look.
I know this video was several years old but it has to be one of the best presented knife reviews on all of RU-vid and I have seen hundreds if not thousands of them kudos to you for a great job
That's a toss-up for me! The Hardness (Rockwell Hardness - HRC) is similar, so if I had a choice, I just go for the less expensive option at the time !
S110V. Overall better steel. Extremely tough steel and fantastic edge retention. A little more expensive steel, but worth every penny. Probably only second to M390
When buying the Paramilitary 2 beware of counterfeit knives. Do your homework and watch videos that describe the differences between the fake and authentic.
I have a question, would this be too intense for a every day carry? Thanks for your time and kindness. I would like to have this as my first knife. I enjoy the style of it.
Hey David; I'm the guy in the video (now my active channel is Rugged Outdoors Guide). It depends on where you'll carry it and what is your daily lifestyle/routine. If you're a construction worker in Arkansas, then it's not too intense. If you're an office worker in Des Moines, I'd stick with a sleeker, smaller knife (I love my Carter Trinity from Ontario Knife Company).
I have not noticed that at all, but I've really only done a cardboard test one time and I don't use it on a regular basis for cutting down boxes. Perhaps if I did I might notice the same. Hmmm... now I'm curious!
My EDC changes every year or so (as it does I think for most people) but the one I have may be my choice for many years. Why? Because it's not just a good quality knife, but it looks very cool and sleek, but most importantly, it has a hefty blade and VERY small, minimalist (but very useable) handle that makes it feel like I'm not carrying it at all when it's in my jeans pockets. My EDC is the Ontario Knife Company (OKC) Carter Trinity.
Hi Gabriel. Thanks for checking out our video. The answer to your question is YES, as far as our research has revealed. You can see our whole outline of California knife laws here: knifeup.com/california-knife-and-balisong-law/
I love my EDC because of its small handle and substantial blade. It's the Ontario Knife Company (OKC) Carter Trinity flipper! We have a review on it in our small collection of videos here on You Tube. I think this is my only EDC for awhile moving forward!
