Best praise vs top criticism for Spyderco Paramilitary 2
“Something I love about the para 2 is the degree of EDC it gets. Some are crazy custom reblades with different scales, stop pin, lanyard. And then some guy in construction has the same knife that looks like he cleans it in a blender.”
“Even this sub is so far from serious EDC its laughable at times. Ppl be carrying a leatherman, knipex cobra, pm2 and a fixed blade. I heard you like redundancy so we put some redundancy in your redundancy... I edc a victorinox compact, my keys and my phone. The victorinox solves 99% of my daily issues. Sometimes I wish I had a leatherman for the pliers, but it's too annoying to carry for the 2 cases a month where I might need it.”
