Spyderco: Para 2 - Black Blade - Plain Edge - Digi Camo G-10 - CPM-S45VN
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.
Our 2010 Para Military 2 has several changes over the classic version. The G-10 handle is narrowed at the end improving the ergonomics. The handle and blade have been profile thinner; removing uncomfortable angles when in the closed position. It features a Compression Lock and an ambidextrous-friendly four way clip which carries tip-up/tip-down, left/right-hand and rests deeper in a pocket. They kept the same high-performance CPM S30V full flat-ground blade but also lengthened the blade's tip and added additional surface jimping to both the spine and finger choil. Implementation of a new Bushing Pivot System generates fluid action and more consistent manufacturing tolerances. Larger lanyard gives more options for carry.
Refinements to overall construction may not be drastic or even visible to the eye but from the G-10 textured handle to the CPM S30V steel full flat blade, everything is sharper, smoother and guaranteed to provide performance and user comfort.

Ehhh
Anyone who says "best folder" is delusional or never held an actual ergonomically perfect, do it all type knife before! The knife is square in shape.(edges) and not ergonomic or comfortable in any way shape or form whatsoever! The compression lock is great once you figure out how to position your hands as to not painfully pinch your palm and upper palm w it while thumb flicking! Spidey flipping works just fine without the pinch. Lastly the long leaf shaped blade imo isn't that great either. Needs to be wider but all in all the pm3 was far superior to the 4 but def without a doubt nowhere near in the class of say the manix2 or native series! It's not even close honestly!
