    The Tabasco mail order was perfect. Love that style flavor.

    I have a few cheaper knifes; ok - most of the knives I own are on the cheap side. But my Kershaw (china made) was having some issues staying locked open. So I decided to give two knifes with good reps for quality hardware a try.

    Right now I think the Mini Griptilian folds much better than the Spyderco. Tho I did have to spend a bit of time flicking it open closing it up to break the knife in right.
    The Spyderco has a back compression lock that requires a blood offering if I try to close it one handed. Yea, training on my side of the house is lacking. Both knifes are good to go for EDC use in my book, Well below the Colorado 3.5" length law so that is a major plus to me.

    My goal was blade length of about 3" due to company policy; plus that size seems to be fine to carry 100% of the time.
    I went with the Light Weight version for the Spyderco - it sort of feels too light weight. However, the Spyderco does feel grip wise better than the Benchmade.

    [added]
    The Para 3 seems to be working out a bit better than I expected as I break in the knife by doing the flick it open and close routine. There seems to be a bit more drag in the Para 3 design - but the knife still works quite well. I did the dab of oil on the pivot point early as I switched to the Para 3 for full time use. The amount of blood needed to keep the knife happy when closing has almost dropped to zero when doing a one handed close routine.

    I have found the factory edge on both knifes superb. For US made EDC knifes both seem to be worth the money.

    Ah, didn't think about that.

    I helped a client begin their road to recovery after they got hit 2 weeks ago. Can't say who directly but it was newsworthy.

    Can't do tape restores without the (unnamed) backup server, can't restore the backup server's database or data from encrypted tapes when they take out the key servers...

    They're still struggling but can at least read tapes. Their VTL and Tier1 primary (block) storage and tier 1 compute wasn't affected but I think they had to recover some lower tier storage and they had backups on tape that were not on VTL.
