so i broke down and decided to buy a spyderco knife and everyone said the paramilitary or the manix. i got a paramilitary 2 because of the custom options. i had it arrive at a decent time and i got that little jitter you get when something new comes in and i opened my box and when i first held the paramilitary 2 i was so disgusted that i literally put it down and left it in the box it came in for a day. i did not like the g-10, I did not like the opening of it, I did not like the way it felt. i was at a loss of words and all i kept thinking was that i wasted all this money on this "thing". the next day i felt like i was a little to harsh and tried it again, loosened the pivot so i could open it with ease, practiced opening it and got the g-10 to rub down a bit. i started to like this knife and when i first carried it for the day i loved how it felt and looked until i actually had to use it for work. i had to cut some cardboard and by the time i got done cutting maybe 3 boxes i looked down at my blade so see how she was holding up and again i felt that empty disappointment when i saw it. half the dang knifes edge had literally disintegrated...i know my knife is not a fake as i checked everything and it passed so i do not know how people can say they haven't sharpened their paramilitarys in a year and only stropped it cause after only 10 minutes of use my knife was nothing more then a butter knife... i am not going to buy anymore spydercos for quite some time now because of this. if their top tier knife cant do this simple task i have absolutely no need for it to be anywhere near me sadly...and i tried taking pictures of the edge but i cant upload them or get a decent enough picture in general
