I will continue to put the info out there for our "old school" collectors.<br />

Back in the day, when I was your age (LOL). I received a MANIX 2 Lightweight, it came with the CTS-BD1 blade. Big knife but light weight. I was enamoured with the ease of carry and the durabilty of that knife. Having been a long time proponent of Bencmade quality and design, that is saying a lot. For instance, I received a gift card for my local knife shop, I went to buy a new Leatherman Wave. That left me…

For instance, I received a gift card for my local knife shop, I went to buy a new Leatherman Wave. That left me with $100, so i bought a BM Griptillian because i never had one. Regrettably it is not up to my standards. It feels hollow and cheap. Had i another $20, I would have bought another PM2. Ron,

Ron,<br />
The Southard will share time with the PM2, but I will reserve final judgment for later. But, probably not.<br></br>

Your first photograph of the Southard posed next to the brown Para 2 is precisely what I was looking for since the brown Para 2 with its CPM S35VN steel is the same model that kicked the digicam/black blade CPM S30V Para 2 out of my pocket over a year ago and has remained my EDC up until the present time. Even though I own a green Para 2 with the same steel as the Southard I have not been tempted to carry it. It's just not as aesthetically pleasing to my eye, and it doesn't function as smoothly as its brown brother. 'nuff said.</p>
<p>So, having said all of the above, my question to you is: Will this Southard kick the brown Para 2 out of your pocket and become your EDC?</p>
<p>Thanks for taking the time to do this review, also! Happy Birthday, old man!</p>

<p>A great review Brad. Looks like a good choice for an EDC. I am not a big Spyderco fan, and don't own at this time. If I were to buy one, this one would certainly be in the running. Thanks for the review. Oh, by the way, I thought I was old. You are so much older than me (almost exactly a year), thanks for making me feel young too. LOL</p>

<p>Brad,</p>
<p>Thank you and I appreciate the side by sides, for those of us with limited time spent with the more modern patterns, it helps a great deal. In looking at them it appears that this knife has a more user friendly handle shape (IMO)</p>
