Re: "Reprofiled" Native 5

Re: Putting utility aside, what's the best looking Spyderco ever made ?

Re: Has the Paramilitary 2 ship sailed?

I’m done buying PM2’s until a new lefty version is released. I sold all of my righty’s except for an OD green s90 and a Tanto M4. I’ve been carrying my lefty S30v for about a month now.
