Para2 cru-wear version - Spyderco Para Military 2 3.45in Folding Knife

As perfect as an EDC as it gets. Perfect size, deployment, and extremely sharp. The brown micarta feels a bit 'cheap' for such an otherwise premium knife. It looks much better after I apply a thin coat of camellia oil on the light brown micarta handle. The oil darkens and provides a less rough texture. The overall feel is much better. The blade...is what makes this version of the Para2 stands out. My first Cru-Wear steel blade and it's become a favorite in my collection: super sharp and looks great. The pivot deploys smoothly, as in all the Para2's. The compression locks works quite well with one hand. Overall it's a 9/10 perfect knife. The only thing I wish Spyderco should have included are nine extra T6*3mm screws to cover all the extra holes. With these holes exposed, the handle looks unfinished and small particles (e.g., sands, and food particles, etc.) will get into them. While the factory clip works okay; it would have been better if it is a true deep pocket design. The factory clip leaves ½ inch of the handle exposed. Even these minor design shortcomings, the Para2 remains one of the best pocket knives for daily use.
