Cons: Pocket Clip

Wonderful knife!

Wonderful addition to my drawer of Spyderco blades! Weight, pivot, scales, blade are all wonderful. I do technical theatre/production work, and EDC has been an Endura 4, now swapping between that and this PM2 lightweight. More serrated blade on the PM2, more straight blade on the Endura 4. PM2 opens so nicely and is a bit lighter. I have a 3rd party clip on the Endura that gives me deeper pocket carry; might try my skills at a similar clip for the PM2. I'm left handed; my ideal would be a LEFT HANDED blade and blue scales.

Cheap version of the Paramilitary 2

The action isn’t smooth unless you loosen the pivot a lot but then you get a ridiculous amount of side to side blade play. Gets a little better within time. The inside edge is extremely sharp like the Para 3 lightweight but far more noticeable on this PM2 lightweight because it’s longer. You are going to feel it. A standard paper clip has more shine than this wire clip and this wire clip is a lot longer than the Para 3 lightweight wire clip obviously. All in all, it’s an extremely cheap version of the Paramilitary 2, I mean a very cheap cheap version. Why they’re charging $150 I have no idea but I paid for it.
