Great knife at a great price.

I purchased the black DLC para2 from national a while ago when they were still hard to find. I'm browsing their site today and just realized there wasn't any reviews. Not sure why but I'll add mine. The knife is excellent. Bottom line. Lives up to the hype, for sure. Let's start with the basics: You're getting a nice sleek cpm s30v blade, perfect size and blade shape for EDC + in my opinion. The tip is very extreme, blade comes very sharp, DLC coating is SUPER tough. Everything about it is on point. The grind is perfect, a beautiful big edge that sets off the black perfectly. Frame/handle is also very nice. A very nicely done G10 that grips well. SS liners, compression lock, good hardware which is also black. And as for the compression lock, it's awesome! One of my favorite lock designs for sure. The knife is a blast to deploy and close. All very easy to do one handed. With some practice, you'll get it done perfectly. Even without practice you will still have no problem closing it one handed, you just will get better and smoother with it over time. It's a great system, ball bearing I belive, very pleasing to open and close. It is also a very light knife, I'm not one to complain about heavy knives.... I would actually prefer if this knife was a little heavier.... But it's not something I'd complain about. I'm not going to write more then I need to, I've covered the basics... This is a very high quality Spyderco knife and national knives was a great place to buy from. They had the blade when no one else did and they maintained a fair low price. Many other places upped the price because of th demand, National Knives LLC did not. And that is why I am going to be making future purchases from them. I'm actually about to buy a Zero Tolerance 0562cf in a couple days from them, can't wait!
