Mini skirmish or Paramilitary

[moonlight]

What is the best between those two knives? I want to buy one of them but I don't know which one...
Somebody can advise me?

i love my mini skirmish...built like a tank....i'm sure youll hear plenty about the paramillie though

Although I usually prefer spyderco's I think you should go with the Mini Skirmish. Thats just my opinion, they are both very good knives and it is a tough question. Because of that if I were you I would get the one I was really drawn to. If you can handle both knives see which one you prefer and buy it, you can't go wrong with either of them.

I've owned both and carry my mini-skirmish more. I just like the way it looks better and think it's a bit more solid than the para.

Just don't get one of these. It will make you forget the other two.

See, the design has gotten old and cold....but....WOW!

Paramilitary for the principal of the matter, and I think it's a better knife.

And i will wait for a sebenza instead of the mini skirmish :thumbup:

Been carrying the Buck Mayo Cutback to see if I would even like the lighter, better steel, titanium handled, frame-lock, tip down Buck Mayo TNT.

Yes I would.

Best,

I would get the mini skirmish.

I own the mini-skirmish and have handled the para and would personally go with the mini-skirmish. to me it felt more solid with a more comfortable grip and i equal handle to blade ratio's which was a big turnoff with the para, but made the skirmish fit perfectly.

Both awesome knives, but I'd trust the paramilitary more as a survival knife. Better handle ergos, IMO, grippy G10, more useful blade shape, easier to clean, fewer moving parts.

I personally find the compression lock the most reliable on the market, but others on this forum will have his own opinion. I like the fact that the compression lock fundamentally has no mechanical failure points.

That's what I've always disliked about the Axis lock. It's nice, and very slick, but you're depending on springs to make it work. They fail.
