Update on Spyderco Para-Military 2

Now that I have been carrying my Para-Military 2 for a week I like it even more.  I really like the compression lock and that I can close the blade one handed.  The jimping on the thumb ramp is perfect and it really locks your thumb into a firm position. 

Here is Nutnfancy's review on the Para-Military 2.

Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Preliminary Review

Yesterday my Spyderco Paramilitary 2 finally came.  I have been waiting to order one since last May.  At the time I didn't have the money to buy one.  Then when I had the money to buy one every single Spyderco Paramilitary 2 was sold out.  On every website that I went to every Paramilitary 2 was sold out and then when they would come in stock they would sell out almost immediately.

Last week Wednesday I received an email from gpknives.com and they had a satin finished Spyderco Paramilitary 2 in stock.  I ordered it as fast as I could.  It arrived yesterday to my delight.

I have only carried it for two days so a bit later I will talk about what I think about it. 

Benchmade 940 Osborne Review

About three weeks ago I finally bought the Benchmade 940 Osborne.  I was drooling over it since the middle of 2012.

My initial impressions are really positive.  It is thin and fits very nicely in my pocket.  I love the blade profile.  It is a reverse tanto blade style similar to the the Benchmade 810 Contego.  The 940 also has S30v steel.  I have never had a knife with S30v steel before so I cannot give my opinion on the steel so far simply because I have not used it very much.

The pocket clip is fantastic just like most Benchmade's are.  The knife is incredibly light because of the skeletonized aluminum scales.  Additionally the purple titanium back-spacer looks awesome. 

I bought the knife for every day carry.  It does not have jimping or and texturing on the scales so I feel that the 940 Osborne is not a tactical blade at all.  It is purely an EDC blade.  It could be pressed into emergency tactical use but that isn't my primary use for it.  I think it would be a good camping and hiking folder.
