>>821486Having recently just got my first PM2, I have to say they are probably Spyderco's best design.
Solid ergonomics, great lock mechanism, good blade geometry for actually being good at cutting things, etc.
The standard s30v model will do well with a coarse edge finish.
I waited for the BladeHQ CPM-M4 sprint because I prefer low edge bevels angles and fairly polished apex finishes, and M4 is a high apex stability steel well suited to thin angles at higher grit finishes.
