Main question: how is the ergos on the Para 2 vs Para 3?
Why I ask:
I started my Spyderco «collection» with a Para 2 s30v in 2015. After that I have bought the Endura VG10, Bradley 2, Tasman Salt SE, Assist VG10, and lastly, a Native 5 Salt SE.
I sold the Para 2 because I got a good price, and because the steel was wrong for my uses for the knife. I sharpen with the Edge Pro, and set a bevel low enough that I can maintain a micro bevel with the 15 deg setting on the Edge Pro. That resultet in some chipping when I used it because I accidently hit metal or sand/rocks etc.
The problem is that the Para 2 had the best ergos out of the Spydercos I have tried. The new Para 3 LW in BD1n might be better steelwise for me, but the ergos on both Endura and Native are not optimal, my middlefinger lays right on the bump in the handle. The Native 5 works when I use the choil, Bradley 2 is just a bit thin in the handle. They all work ok, but just not really good like the Para 2 was..
