Handle chamfering on Military vs. PM2?

For folks who own/have handled both, how would you compare the chamfering on the edges of the handle of the Military (G10 with current CQI) to the Para Military 2?

I've owned a PM2 and I found the edges of the handles uncomfortably "sharp," particularly when bearing down on the knife to cut. I've never owned a Military, but in photos it appears that the edges are more chamfered than the PM2's handle. If they are, that moves the Millie to my buy-and-try list (I don't think there's anywhere near me that stocks them, or I'd go that route).

If you can help, thanks in advance! :)
 
Doesn't seem like much, but the Military is way more comfortable, especially with a firm grip. And PM2 is my favorite...

Nice pic, thank you! :)

That looks like juuust the right amount of difference. The Millie appears to be about as chamfered as the Manix 2 G10, which I found incredibly comfortable.
 
I prefer no chamfering on the PM2. It's all subjective, i guess. Some of the the earlier Para's I've owned had a bit of chamfering.
 
It only takes a coupe of minutes with wet/dry sandpaper to fix the PM2. Do it wet to avoid G10 dust which isn't too healthy to inhale.

I'm not that coordinated/too worried about messing up a nice knife. :oops:
 
Very good and comfortable knife.
Great balance, no play and free drop.
Liner lock is the way to go on it.
