For the past year and a half, I was carrying only a DLC Para 2. Before that it was a Delica 4 ffg, and now I dont go to work without a Southard in my pocket. I do commercial plumbing, and usually use my knives pretty hard everyday(cutting fiberglass pipe insulation, thick rubber, zip ties, silicon, drywall, cardboard etc... And find that the CTS 204p is incredible. I had to sharpen up my vg10 Delica every day after work, my s30v Para 2 every couple days and haven't even touched up the edge on my Southard since I sharpened it the first time 3 weeks ago and it still pops hair. I love this friggen knife!
