This is my baby. I am a collector of knives particularly spyderco. I love my paramilitary 2 and carry it often for defense. Hair popping sharp and solid as a rock. Let me know what you guys think

Welcome to the forum! I love my spyderco knives as well, my edc is the manix 2.

I also carry a PM2 daily but mine is the blacked out version. I love it! :anim_headbang:

Great knives. I own a PM2 (coated blade, camo scales), a Manix 2 LW, and the Zero Tolerance 0350. I also carry the PM2 pretty much everywhere I go.

Nice! I re-sharpened my Spyderco (Perrin) Street Bowie only yesterday. My Endura Wave in my my pocket...right now!

That's a very fine sharpening job. What sharpening tools & methods are you using to polish the edge that cleanly?

 

[Boomstick75]

I'm guessing a good leather strop is somewhere in his process.

I use the wicked edge. It was an investment but I own roughly 15 spyderco knives most of which are high dollar knives most expensive I believe is the southard. It is a diamond stone system. I use the diamonds in a scrubbing motion until I get to 1000 grit working a burr on both sides. I then switch to ceramics for the 1200 and 1600 still in a scrubbing motion. I then switch to the leather strops using 5, 3.5, 1 and .5 micron diamond paste respectively. I do most of my bevels at 15 degrees or 30 degrees inclusive. I love talking about it. And would love to answer any questions. I will post pics of the collection soon.

Wow. Sounds like sharpening your knives is a full blown hobby. I love my knives and knives in general, but $120-$140 I've spent on my PM2 and ZT are about as high dollar as I want to go. lol I also have a Becker BK2, but that's strictly for outdoors activities. It's a great high carbon fixed blade, though. I like the ZT, but as an EDC knife it simply doesn't work. Great blade, but it's too heavy for carry, and the pocket clip is vastly inferior to the one on the PM2, which is about as perfect an EDC folder as you can get without spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

Spyderco...good stuff!

Sounds like you have your sharpening down to a science. Beautiful edge. :king:

Yojimbo 2 is my EDC. I've trained with Michael Janich's Martial Blade Concepts and he specifically designed this blade for his system. I'm very pleased with it.

You probably already know this, but "yojimbo" is the Japanese word for "bodyguard" - and a fine Kurasawa movie with Toshiro Mifune.

Can you recommend any knife fighting technique resources

Go to Home page

That will take you to Michael Janich's website where you can explore his Martial Blade Concepts (a series of 5 DVDs) along with many, many other defensive topics and tools. Nothing replaces training under the watchful eye of a qualified instructor, but the videos are of exceptionally high quality. As you explore them on the website, you will be able to look at several excerpts to help you make a decision. There are many approaches to using a blade. I like this one for several reasons. Feel free to pm me or ask questions here on the forum. I'll do my best to give you good answers.

Got my yojimbo 2 in yesterday. I think I have a new favorite knife for edc. It came razor sharp and the compression lock is perfect. Honestly I hate it because now I want another one just in case they ever stop making it.

I have carried this C07 with a serrated blade for the last 25 years. Its a big knife, but very thin.

 

[TacticalEnigma]

I love that. Is that the police.
