Just bought a new Paramilitary 2. Is it fake? Many high res detailed pictures inside.

Bought one from sooner state knives, had my suspicions until reading here...also just bought a brown pm2 (s35vn) from www.lighthound.com it is super smooth and appears real. Has anyone ever bought from Lighthound or sooner state knives, please tell me they are reputable dealers! Any input is appreciated.

I have bought from Soonerstate and everything seemed legit.

I just bought my para2 last weekend and the first day I decided to look for one I found 4 reputable blade forum legit retailers that had multiple styles in stock. Can't see how people have to resort to eBay. I may have gotten lucky because an hour after I ordered mine from national knives, bladehq emailed me and had the 4 s30v styles in stock. So maybe I decided to buy one right after all the retailers got a shipment in... I don't know but I had zero problems finding one at a major retailer. Only mentioning this because I keep hearing how it's so hard to find them. I think if anyone waited for a week or two and just checked the major sites everyday they'd have no problem getting which ever of the 4 common styles they wanted. I would guess that they get a shipment in once a week or two.

But anyways, it seems real to me. I noticed the silica pack in yours but figured it was added by the seller to make sure his knives he's trying to sell don't rust on him.

Sooner State is a legit dealer. They've been at it a long time. Never heard of Lighthound. Just because a dealer is on eBay doesn't mean they aren't Okay.
