Military all the way. One of the best fishknives I have used and the handle length is perfect for clearing blackberries on the trail

I have the para and it is a great knife. I want to get a military.
I have handled both the Military and the Para Military and I own a D2 Para Military and I love this thing I just got done sharpening it and it has a razor edge to it and it is the perfect EDC size for me and I like the Militarys but they will come with time I am even thinking about getting an S30V version of the Para some time in the future.

I have a couple of Paras (S30V and CPM D2) but they don't see much pocket time any more. The S90V Military has been my constant companion since it came out. I'm only 5'-8", but I have rather large hands, so the Military is a perfect fit.

I like the Military (over the Para) for 3 reasons:
- Better detent
- Longer blade
- Handle fits my hands better
Like the Para a lot, but I'm lovin' my Militaries - I'm up to 4 now, all different (S90V, S30V, BG-42, and a D2).
That said, I do have 3 Para's.
if they came out with a wire-clip, tip-up/down Military I'd be all over it.
Hopefully the Ti Military comes out soon

Don't make me pick one, because I won't do it.
My Para's serve more of an EDC role, where as the Millie's come out on weekends for the big tasks.
+2 on this. I like both but use the para the most. I actually prefer the liner lock of the military.

Mixed feelings.
Like the size of handle of the millie but it's a bit to big for edc for me
I like the overall size of the para but when you just hold the handle without choking up into the choil, the handle just doesn't feel right. It's great when you choke up.
Still i love them both.
My 2 cents
PS if i'd had to choose i'd go with the para
