Yep. PM2 is a gem of a folder knife. It’s the only one I carry. Extremely functional, sharp and very comfortable to hold/use. S110V steel is great too.
PM2 is my favorite edc knife too! Bought and tryed many other cool knives, but I always come back to my trusty s45vn paramilitary 2. It just is perfect in every aspect. Thank you for the video 😊
My favorite 5 Spyderco EDC are Nilakka, Chokwe, PM2, Southard, Manix 2 LW S110V. I own more Spydercos than any other brands. Their cutting performance is 2nd to none.
PM2 is by far the best folder i ever bought and is my main carry since years. I have a lot of others also really good ones, but the Pm2 beats all of them. hands down
The CruWear PM2 is gorgeous. The design is great, but CruWear is such a nice steel to use - easy to keep sharp - stropping restores the edge most of the time, and although it doesn't hold it's edge as well as Maxamet, it's a lot more robust. My Maxamet PM2 chipped after essentially no use. I it was dropped on my desk while Spydie flicking to loosen up the pivot and it chippeda. The CruWear is a really nice balance IMO and has become my go to EDC.
The Spyderco Para2 is my first Spyderco knife & it is insanely sharp out of the box had it for several weeks is it a ton at work. It’s still insanely sharp as the day I took it out of the box
Ever since I seen the Military Model (the verbal description is brilliant) and I actually held one and it's easy to see how it got the name, however I prefer its "smaller brother" Paramilitary.
The New Military ll with the Compression Lock and 4-way pocket clip is Definitely a Must Buy this Year and Beyond , and I'm sure it will be a Huge Success ...👍🖖
Still love my PM2, but my Smock is moving up the list. My bluepurple Manix is amazing on paper and in hand, but I just don’t like it that much. Think it’s the lock.
i definitely like my shaman better than my pm2, it's just the real deal for hard use situations, the pm2 has a too weak tip for what the knife is meant for. my fav. is the southard flipper, that thing just melts in my hand, has a fantastic steel and a very good fit'n'finish. my list is: -southard flipper (looks, action, fit'n'finish, blade) -chaparral sun & moon (perfect slicer👌) -shaman (tough knife but not overbuilt, and still capable of precise cutting tasks) -slysz bowie (gorgeous piece, still sad i sold mine😂) -breeden rescue (weird but super cool blade)
Interesting list, clearly a Spyderco fan, my top would be: 1. Native 5 LW (Maxamet, Magnacut, S90V, S110V etc. it just has all the best steels not even including sprints) 2. PM2 (Magnacut, CruWear it needs the toughness with that thin tip but still a genius design, a masterclass in blade geometry) 3. Shaman (15V, M4, thick blade with BBB heat treat means 15V works here but good luck finding one) 4. Delica (K390, ZDP, even the new PD#1 although you don't need the toughness in such a thin blade) 5. Dragonfly 2 (K390, Wharncliffe, this thing blew my mind for its size)
For me it was definietly the tenacious and the para3. An opinel came pretty sharp out of the box as well, however the tip of the blade still had a burr on it
My yojimbo is scary sharp and I've never sharpened it. My para 2 wasn't too much off... But the sharpest knife I think I've bought to date was a Hogue Deka... Don't take my word, get one and you'll know I'm not lying 😀
It’s so awesome you guys have the pm2 micarta still in stock on your website. I already have one but I might have to get another one. Especially since I accidentally chipped mine a little bit so now it’s a user.
So I got this spyderco at Walmart about 3 years ago, now it’s starting to show some rust after taking it to the beach and swimming with it in salty water. What kind of grit paper should I use to buff out the rust spots? They are very superficial by the way! Thanks!
I only have one Spyderco pocket knife. I bought a Spyderco persistence pocket knife from Bass Pro Shops online. And it has 8CR13MOV stainless steel. And it is made in China. It is the only Spyderco pocket knife that I can afford. And it costs $60.00 Dollars.
My first PM2 is the cuttlery shoppe exclusive DLC Wharncliffe in CTS-XHP with Orange G-10 scales. I have an all black Para3 (except for the Red Cerakote Lynch deep carry clip) for tasks which require a knife blade with belly. It's in S45vn
I need to sell some Spydercos. I wanna keep two but I can't decide. I am not a decider. Shaman 15v, Manix 2 20CV, PM2 M4 lava flow Carbon fiber, Para 3 Cruwear, and Sage 5LW. IF you could only keep 2?
In love with my pakkawood HAP40 Delica and just got me a Micarta Cruware PM2. One for city, one for outdoor and workshop - I think I'm all set and can just give my other knives to friends and family.
1st day i bought my pm2, sliced my finger wide open. got stitches at hospital. love this knife. showed me what it can do first hand. its a whole nother beast. that s45vn
I like spyderco knives. L own 2 of them. The manix 2. G10 Scales. Saber grind on cpm s30v. Stretch 2. K390. But the knives don't change a whole lot. Growing board with spyderco.
They stick to what they know, and do well. But don't write off stuff like the recent Stovepipe or their other unique collabs for example that kind of break the mold. They do all those well too.
I love Spydercos so much and I actually have close to the same taste as you my friend. I pretty much have all the main Spyderco knives out there but the one I been wanting is the one in your list the Mannix X large. I own a Mannix 2 tactical and Mannix FRN.
@@PM-mr8ky I like the frn manix with out a doubt especially for carrying and using for a edc. But my manix 2 G10 is definately a nicer feel in hand in my opinion especially being heavier and feeling more high end. I know its weird but mostly all my knives I dont use I just keep them in the boxes and enjoy looking at them every so often and playing with them with compression lock and so on. To me most higher end knives are just to pretty and nice to use especially when your spending 200 to 700 dollars for them. So I carry a Spyderco Tenascious or another descent cheaper knife for when I need a knife for any kind of cutting task. But I carry my SPYDERCO YOJIMBO every day for self protection every single day no matter what and there's been times I used it for minor cutting task but try not to because I like keeping it razor sharp just in case.
I’ve been religiously carrying the Spyderco Silvermax, super comfortable in the hand, very smooth deployment and a fun one to flip around. Don’t get me wrong the paramilitary will be my backup over the tenacious, dragonfly and police 4 but the silvermax is just blowing me away!
and what about Spyderco Smock. there will be a new version or unfortunately there is no respect for it? I am asking because I did not get this knife, unfortunately
Difference is the Para 2 is not quite big enough for a main edc and #3 is even smaller a mini all too expensive. Start with a new Cold Steel Recon 1 for a hundred. Triad lock, excellent ergos scales a minimum 4" blade length & choose clip, spear, tanto. The Spiderco military is one version maybe worth the ($240)? price as a do everything edc
The difference is one is more pocket friendly this dude wants fixed blade lengths on a folder lol. Most places you can’t even have blades that long. The para 3 is more pocket friendly and disappears in the pocket like a Bugout would and the pm2 is a little longer. Pm2 has a blade length over 3 inches and the para 3 has a blade length under 3 inches so depending local laws or needs one could be a better choice than the other. Personally I love both. The action on both is very similar with the pm2 having more heft in the hand. The para 3 is like a grab and go knife like a Bugout or something along those lines. Personally I don’t like the FRN on the lightweights but if that’s your thing they have those as well. Spyderco is superior to cold steel in every way. You get these old timers in love with a fix blade size and style knife so their suggestions are a bit dated and not what’s actually carried by workers or first responders etc. take that comment with a grain of salt @cold2d
@@ScottSmith-lx5xb 3 inches of blade edge is great for a main EDC for nearly everyone. I do a lot of farm work and never needed anything bigger. Guaranteed you don't need "minimum 4 inches" either.
@@BornIn1500 this guy for sure thinks he needs a 5inch blade just to cut some boxes and a apple that he only decided to eat cause he felt like using his knife. One thing I can’t stand about this knife community has been the how snobby/elitist some of the guys are.
I think that's a fair list. In my list the para 3 doesn't make the cut. I have no idea why..I own both a G10 and a lightweight version, but there is just nothing about the knife that excites me. The G10 version feels great it in the hand, but I just don't like the blade. The lightweight just honestly feels cheap. I put a bugout in my hand and it feels nice.. My list 5 dragonfly 4 Lil native 3 Delica 2 yojimbo/manix 2 (tie) 1 Para 2
I disagree with you the Paramilitary 2 is not my favorite I have PM 2 g10 and a black blade and a PM2 with a Tonto blade and I can't get the same feeling as you. I love the PM3 and own five different ones and the very first one I bought was the PM3 BLK g10 and CPM- 30SV and it's the smoothest opening and I don't like the light weight FRN at all and the Delica's I don't like at all. I guess everyone's taste are different and I own like thirty Spydercos
I haven't found more than one Spiderco to spend my money on since early 1980s. $50 got me a 1982 Police model with a blade over 4 inches and black g-10 handle scales. Nothing in last 40 years has perked any interest for other Spiderco products
The police is nice but way to long. The shaman, the pm2, manix (non lightweight) smock, para 3, lil native with the compression lock, all solid options.
@@mendoafgoo420 there is no knife laws where I live. I carry 2 automatic Benchmades a Buck 119 fixed blade and sometimes edc a Cold Steel Espada XL with no problem. No laws here to prevent carrying what ever I want. I use my Buck 110 folder to cut through the rib cage of the white tail deer I've shot in season.
Same here. I bought mine Spiderco Police model with the aluminium scales in the late 80's, had it sent over to the UK by special order from a Knife shop. I was surprised they still selling them, only difference now is there are more holes for the moving around the pocket clip, which must says how popular they are. It still sharp as hell. 😄
For me there is no better spyderco then the Manix XL. Well i lye there is one but that is the original lockback Manix and spyderco really does not want to make that anymore. ( I think they are scared that they are not good enough anymore to produce such a masterpiece of a lockback ) the pm family is so overrated they are great knives to not get me wrong but the Shaman or sage line are at least as good. And i speak out of experience since i own four pm2’s.
Hot take, PM2 is overrated and dated... Still a good choice but the Manix 2 and Shaman are far superior imo, and if you're dead set on the silhouette/design of the PM2 then just get a PM3, its a better form factor.

I agree with PM 2. I thought you were going to ignore it. This is the sharpest knife out of the box I ever bought. Perfect knife
Pm2 s45vn satin and camo g10 got it last week. Sharpest anything I've ever had the pleasure of being cut by.
Thanks for this and yes delica is the one for me. Had it for 10 years...
Just picked my first PM2. The Crucarta version. Absolutely amazing knife.
Yep. PM2 is a gem of a folder knife. It’s the only one I carry. Extremely functional, sharp and very comfortable to hold/use. S110V steel is great too.
Yep 👍 my dude

Spyderco just released a salt version of the PM2 with Magnacut steel. Thing is amazing
I “liked” when you said doing the Spyder flick makes you cooler. Because yes, yes it does.
The Spyderco Para2 is my first Spyderco knife & it is insanely sharp out of the box had it for several weeks is it a ton at work. It’s still insanely sharp as the day I took it out of the box
My favorite knife is my fully serrated endura I have many knives Paramelitary 2 But best work night around is my endura
Manic and para military are my fav! Awesome video sir!
Delica stainless i love, and of course pm2
I sharpen the factory edge off on the harder steels as soon as I get them so they don’t chip as easily.
Manix2 my favourite of all Spyderco before the pm2 or 3 . Nice one. Jim 👍
I bought that exact Paramilitary 2 you showed. It is excellent.
Ever since I seen the Military Model (the verbal description is brilliant) and I actually held one and it's easy to see how it got the name, however I prefer its "smaller brother" Paramilitary.
I've carried an original Endura G10 combo blade, ever since it came out. Still sharp as a razor.
Just grabbed the paramilitary 2 from your link, can’t wait for it to show up!
Thank you so much! You will love that knife.
The New Military ll with the Compression Lock and 4-way pocket clip is Definitely a Must Buy this Year and Beyond , and I'm sure it will be a Huge Success ...👍🖖

The sharpest edge out of the box lnever came across was on an Opinel.
Only problem is that it is attached to an opinel lol
I just learned that carbon steels are not food safe, now I can’t imagine any reason to own an opinel
For me it was definietly the tenacious and the para3.

I'm surprised they're not all gone already!
Are these good for fishing and outdoor cooking on the go ?
Just ordered a Delica wharncliffe and I hope it's the sharpest. But of all my knives the best factory edge is on my ZT 0470.
Great list! Love that CRUwear PM2.
Thank you! It's my personal favorite PM2 as well.
Would you rather buy the cruecarta pm2 or the cruecarta manix 2 xl?
Benchmade Adamas in cruwear has the best and sharpest factory edge I’ve ever seen it’s pretty insane
Talking about ergos, how's about the Shaman? Do you own any?
Do you know if the pm2 is legal in the UK
Right now, I edc a Para 3,handle in camo.
Fantastic list bud!!!

What about the Spiderco Sharman? In my opinion the Sharman is the greatest toughest, most ergonomic and best designed knife sold by Spiderco.
The Delica Wharncliffe is my fave EDC knife I own

Glad I watched this I was debating which first spyderco to get (PM2 or Manix)
My first PM2 is the cuttlery shoppe exclusive DLC Wharncliffe in CTS-XHP with Orange G-10 scales.
I have an all black Para3 (except for the Red Cerakote Lynch deep carry clip) for tasks which require a knife blade with belly. It's in S45vn
I lost my Maxamet Para 3… been devastated ever since.
I’d switch the manix xL out for the regular manix 2 the delica out for the domino and the native out for the gayle bradley
Crucarta! Great knife
90% of time I'm carrying my lum Chinese folder. I have 2 of them and love the blade shape .
My Watu is a lightweight laser beam.
Para 3 s45 steel is also very impressive out of box
I need to sell some Spydercos. I wanna keep two but I can't decide. I am not a decider. Shaman 15v, Manix 2 20CV, PM2 M4 lava flow Carbon fiber, Para 3 Cruwear, and Sage 5LW. IF you could only keep 2?

Para 2 is my first Spyderco. Looking for something smaller, and less conspicuous now.
If you like the 2, can't go wrong with a Para 3. It's the mini version!
Or Sage 5
I love the Native 5 for smaller EDC knife
Bevor have seen what the spyderco hype is about but I will have to get the para 2 to check.
