@Josh:

I have the 6" version of that knife. Yours looks just like mine, I can barely tell it's damascus anymore

[Josh James]

I think it's water marked.

Spydie Southard arrived. Perfect form finish and flip. Great production blade and edc. Super strong detent. Spidey hole is hard to even use.

[DougNg]

I've heard that complaint from a few knife forums. The hole is almost relegated for show. The Domino corrected that issue

[mclaincausey]

I do enjoy the strength of the detent though.

[Seul]

It's a lovely looking blade either way!..

[mclaincausey]

Thanks. I think the brown micarta is questionable but it does feel good. I was planning on pimping with CF or Ti.

[DougNg]

That's G10 not micarta

[mclaincausey]

Well, technically it's both. G10 is a micarta of fiberglass…

Though I did mean G10

Btw the jimping on the blade is too smooth to be effective. Will possibly need to have some filework done on it.

Found the Para Military 2 this past weekend, great knife. I like the blade release on it, I'm left handed so it's
perfect. Didn't find the Case Russlock like yours mac, they had a few but wanted about $75.00 for them.
I'll try the gun show at the end of the month, I seem to have luck there.

[mclaincausey]

Score!

Good luck on the Case. Great blade.

[DougNg]

They still have gun shows in CA???

[Blackheart]

Thanks mac, diggin' the Para 2 a lot Yeah, I'll keep looking for the Case, I know of two local places that
might have it so next weekend I'll check them out.

Yeah Doug, we still have gun shows. Costa Mesa fairground has the big one about 4-5 times a year and then
a smaller one in Pasadena that's a combo gun/knife show which is a couple times a year.
If you find yourself ( mac too ) on this end of town when one is coming up let's go.

[mclaincausey]

I haven't been to a gun or knife show in ages, I really need to do that.

[Blackheart]

I'm seeing a lot more knives at the gun shows now, good deals too. There's a guy who shows up from
Oregon who brings factory seconds from Kershaw, a small nick on the frame or the color wasn't quite right
and you get it at about 60-70% off. Discontinued models as well. Next show is on Nov. 30th, I'm sittin' on
go.

[mclaincausey]

Dave Curtiss posted a mini F3 with a scratch in the blade for a deep discount…. of course right after I ordered one

[Blackheart]

Bummer! This guy from Oregon has a ton of knives, got my ZT 0301 from him with a tiny nick on the
frame. Goes for about $272 online, up to $340 in the shops, I got it for $223. Also picked up a discontinued
model, not sure of the model number but it has a tanto blade, retailed for around $200, got it for $75.

[DougNg]

Recurved tanto from zt?

[Blackheart]

Yeah, I think that's it…Nice knife, very solid. Interested to see what he has at the end of the month, I might
pick up another one of these if he still has them.
