Mini PM2

[PC87]

Mini southard would not work, would need to be a PM2. Southard is a flipper, PM2 has that nice big hole for opening, which is all one needs.

Not sure if I missed something but if you look at the previously linked videos and others by Bower you'll see he does make mini Southards as well as the PM2s.

I am mindful that you guys are talking about the PM2, would a mini southard work?

I'd love to have a mini Southard, but I think Brad Southard would have to design it.

Bower started with the mini Southard mod before the mini PM2 mod.

I was saying a mini southard is not something I would want. This is a thread about a smaller PM2 which it appears a lot of guys would like.

Gotcha, I was thrown off there for a sec since you weren't the OP. I wasn't sure if you meant the Mini Southard wouldn't work in terms of being modded from a regular Southard, not that it wouldn't work for your needs specifically.

I know he makes them, but it's probably around twice the price of a Spyderco Southard by the time it's all said and done. I was saying I'd buy a mini Southard if it was designed by Brad Southard and mass produced to bring the price down. If I'm spending ~$500-$600 on a hacked down Southard, I'd rather save up and buy a custom knife from the man himself.

Yeah, cost would be a prohibitive consideration if you are after a mini southard proper.

If a PM2 mini is made, count me in too.
I generally like those around the 3" length.

fwiw- The Para Military1 was close to perfect.

Thank you. That is what I have been trying to say in a couple of posts in this thread and no one even commented on it.

I've wanted a paraminitary since I got into knives

Yea except that the handle was about 4 ft long with a 3 inch blade. I was shocked at how big that handle was for a smaller size blade. Thats why i got rid of it. Looked goofy and didnt feel good in my hand in my opinion.

Agreed.

My thoughts as well, the blade to handle ratio was way off, Para 2 was a step in the right direction. A Mini Para 2 is definitely possible, I have average size hands and when holding my Para 2 I can see where the design could be adjusted to remove length.

I hear ya and agree. Right now my pockets aren't that deep to afford the knife then the third party custom work. They do look pretty nice though.

Para 1 GOAT

 

[FDE]

Bought my 1st Para 1 because of the people recommending it in this thread. All I can say is the Para 2 is a MUCH more refined knife ergonomicly and a Para 1 does not fit the criteria I am looking for. All I can hope is that we've planted a bug in Sal's ear and he experiments with the idea in the future.

 

[KyleMS11]

The price really isnt as bad as i thought it would be. If you have a used para2 or southard. I thought it was going to be alot more then it was.

 

[Evany]

I like to see a maxi Para 2, with enough blade to fill the entire handle.
