Any news on the Para-Military 2?

[Flatlander1963]

Looks like I missed the discussion on the ParaII.
So, let me ask this...How long will the blade be on the new Para.
I watched the video and he said slightly longer but it looked maybe 3/16ths longer.
So I'm guessing its a 3.25 blade or maybe 3 5/16ths.

What'daya Sypdie experts say?

My Para Military models are 3 and 1/8" and that new one looks to be at least 3 and 3/8" if not 3.5" for blade length to me.

3.5 inches would be awsome.
I'm looking forward to getting this one.

I saw that Sal mentioned a Christmas target release for the Caly3.5.
Has he or anyone else mentioned a target release for the Para II?

Nothing. Maybe if we keep asking Sal will chime in?

I'm game!

So has anyone heard any news on the Para 2, maybe a release date even?

 

[Flatlander1963]

Yea...What's the DATE Sal, What's the DATE!!! I'm just dieing to know!!

Just joshing around but it would be nice to know an aproximate time frame. Thanks

i'm not sure if it's been asked before but when is the new version of the para-military's release date?

 

[D1omedes]

Well, Spyderco just released their mid-year supplement catalog. The Para 2 is there, so I think it's safe to assume that it will release some time this year.

I just looked at the supplement catalog. The knife will be 210mm long overall, 78mm cutting edge, and 122mm length closed. I think 210mm is a good size no?

 

[vpsaline]

so 88mm blade then? vs. today's 81mm?

 

[Sal Glesser]

We don't have a date 'cept for "this year".

For you provincial types that like inches

OAL - 8.26
BL - 3.46
Closed - 4.8

I like those sizes a lot!!!!

 

[Soulrack223]

It's black g-10 and s30v too. Which is ok. I hope it sells well and we finally get both orange g-10 and integral versions. I'd also like to see m4 and s90v.

Any chance of brown or tan handles Sal? Carpenter steel in a sprint maybe

PS! is the hole pattern for the clip the same as on the Delica 4 and Stretch II?

I think the Para 2's clip is the same as the Manix 2's clip.

I also hope that there will be a sprint run of Carpenter steel with tan G10 handles. We'll just have to wait and see.
