new paramilitary

Black · Mar 9, 2010

I'm looking to buy a paramilitary, but I am curious if I should wait for what has been called paramilitary 2.0. Any suggestions?

no real eta that has been discussed for the Para 2. Some rumors that maybe there's a prototype in sal or eric's pocket, but nothing beyond that.

Here is a thread thanks to Mr. Blonde that contains all the newest Spyderco knives from the Amsterdam Mini Meet -

Thanks to Wouters!

The para may pop up hyere in the thread, those images are not all there is...

We have handled the new para on the mini meet.
It was a proto type.

So there will be a new para but we don't know when they would be released.

I would buy the regular para and when the new para is released compare them

The pics will probably appear in mr blonde's photo topic.

I have just seen the Para 2 and I would personally wait for it.

I have and enjoy a D2 Para, but have modified it. The P2 for me has been refined in all the areas that I and many others had complaints with the first one.

The thread above has pics of the Para 2. Looks okay to me, I'll probably pass for the PPT or some like.

Yes. They got rid of all the things I hated about the Para.

the para 2 looks fantastic. more streamlined and the 4 point clip. it's something that i would love to carry.

The Para 2 looks more like a mini-millie to me so I've got my eyes on some of the others (Sage 3). The one and only beef I have with my Para D2 is the exposed tang when reaching into pockets. I have grown to really like tip down on my Para and Millie so that's not important to me. Looking through the pictures you sure can tell that people love a FFG!

Was there anything changed about the lock?

proguide · Mar 11, 2010

Well......that's it for me. I have to have a few of the new paras. period!!

Anyone have an idea when these will hit?

liner lock?

Lycosa · Mar 12, 2010

That's a very nice folder.

Soulrack223 · Mar 12, 2010

I am ready for the Para II! I want Orange G-10 this time around too.

Looks like it's still using the compression lock. Has the cutout in the back.

The new para looks much more tame and less badass...I need to see one in person. On the plus side, it looks like they fixed a lot of glitches and it appears that it will be a better knife.

I agree with this. I like the looks of the old Para better. I didn't mind the tang or clip. I'm sure a lot of people will like this one better and will be a great seller.
