As far as I'm concerned, Spyderco's ParaMilitary model is one of the best knife designs ever. Particularly as an EDC knife. I like the compression lock, though the location is a little counter-intuitive. It is lightweight, features an ideal blade shape...made from S30V steel and it's G10 handle scales are perfectly textured. People who have viewed my photos previously should know that I have a black-handled version. This camo-edition is a new one for me. Ironically, this knife really fought being photographed.
