Why change something if it works? Because Spyderco practices the principle of C.Q.I. - Constant Quality Improvement. If they can refine and improve the ergonomics or cutting performance of an established model, they do it.
The current PM2 features several changes over the classic version. The G-10 handle is narrowed at the end improving the ergonomics. The handle and blade have been profiled thinner, removing uncomfortable angles when in the closed position. It features a Compression Lock and a four-way clip which carries tip-up/tip-down, left/right-hand and rests deeper in a pocket.
A CPM-S45VN full flat-ground blade provides ample cutting edge length and additional jimping surface to both the spine and finger choil. Implementation of a new Bushing Pivot System generates fluid action and more consistent tolerances. A large lanyard tube is implemented at the end of the handle for versatile carry options.

Now I know what all the fuss is about!
The Paramilitary 2 is a popular knife. Now I know why. Good looks. Comfy, ergonomic shape that does well with all types of grips. Smooth pivot. Easy opening and closing with one hand. Perfect size. Is solid and sturdy without being heavy. Blade is hair shaving sharp. Good blade steel. Strong clip retention. This is my first compression lock knife and its fantastic. Better than any liner, frame, back or axis locks I own. If I could only own one folding knife I would choose this one.
