    Thanks guys, enjoyed the video. Always worth packing a Victorinox or Leatherman in your pack with tools that feature a wood saw, reamer, file, chisel and can opener. Its amazing what you can Bushcraft with those extra tools on hand in addition to a folder or fixed blade.

      +Northern Territory Bushcraft Agreed; have used the Trekker (www.bladehq.com/item--Victorinox-One-Hand-Trekker-Black--25395) and Hunter (www.bladehq.com/item--Victorinox-Swiss-Army-Knife-Hunter--16187) which both have good little saws on them and they are fantastic.

    The PM2 has been one of my favorite edc folder for some time now. I also edc a larger fixed blade and a neck knife (for tasks that's not ideal for pm2)... so I rarely need to abuse the PM2 (or any other folder for that matter). I actually love the thin tip for puncturing packages and other softer materials (which I go through often).

    I've.got the same pm2, dlc blade w/digicam scales and just ordered a blurple millie w/s110v. Will see how they measure up. Also have a Resilience, a Manix 2 xl, and an endura 4 in zome green. If I could only have one I'd pick the Manix. A lot of blade, nice weight and solid lock. Only thing is for longer use I'd need to wear a glove, the jimping is pretty aggressive. Not as bad as my Benchmade Contego though. That knife will tear your hand up without a glove.

      The thin tip worried me too, but this knife is not designed for bushcraft (despite all thr youtube videos). It is an excellent EDC, and food prep knife though. I felt the Manix 2 at the Surplus Store, perfect everything knife. However, I loved the feel of the paramilitary more and it was love at first flip. This was before I found out it had a cult following. If you want an excellent outdoors knife that"ll out last you... Look at the Cudeman Mt5 with mova steal. It's a fixed blade... but I refer to it as the "perfect" knife in my collection. Plus... cheaper than PM2 or M.

      @@pedroordepo9860 Let me tell you about that thin tip. I was practicing the Spydie flip with my Military, S30V steel, and dropped the knife. Of course it landed tip first on my tile floor. I picked it up, expecting to see a broken or bent tip but was surprised to see it was only blunted. It was only 13 days old, my new knife. I sent it to Spyderco on Sept. 25 and it arrived back in my mailbox Oct. 3. I was only charged $5.00 for shipping. They didn't charge me for reprofiling the tip. The blade is exactly like new again. Lightening fast service on an excellent knife. I have a Delica 4, a Tenacious, and a PM2, all great knives. I love Spyderco.

      Buy a cheaper brand, don't support the fakes (they really do not compare to actual Spydercos). Even the Chinese tenacious is a fantastic knife, terrible copies but completely worth the 40ish bucks if you get a real one. They are tough and reliable knives, had one for over a year until I got the PM2. Only reason I bought one is because TSA threw my tenacious away.
