    Ok, for the ignorant, such as myself, explain the significance of the CTS- 20CP... ;)

    I can see Tyler's fingers spontaneously combusting as he types out his dissertation full of facts and figures. I wonder if he can include anything about his favorite knife company in there. :popcorn:

    the long and short of it is it's basically a finer grained S90V. what that means? technically it should hold an edge just as long as S90v(forever) but also get sharper than S90v.

    No really, I planned on my next knife purchase being a ESEE Izula II.

    BUT, then grunt showed me his Military...I fell in love. However, I'm leaning towards the Para Military 2, since you can change the carry clip. I would use it in my weak side pocket.

    Little more info on the knife. It has grey G10 handles, four way pocket clip, full flat ground, compression lock(the one thing I don't really care for. I'd rather have it be a liner lock) and it is using spydercos new pivot bushing system, which in my limited experience with it and knowledge about it is very similar to chris reeves type pivots. I can say it is extremely smooth and rock solid.

    I can't tell you what I paid for it but if you can find one from a dealer and not the secondary market(good luck) expect to pay between $160 and $170. Other your looking at $225 and up, which will go up with time remember these JUST came out in very limited amounts.

    yeah i played w/ tylers blade today while he was touch his tactical cock (no homo at all) and its a smooth operator for sure (ps this is all kinda purple but true at the same time) but i have to agree i an not a huge fan of the lock either. its basically a reverse liner lock that puts the lock on the back of the knife so it makes one handed closing very annoying.

    nice blade for sure

    Do any you Spyderco fans have a Sage? My edc is a manix ll which is an amazing piece, however in some settings would like something just a little smaller. The sage looks to fit the bill. Any other suggestions?
