Para construction

[lambertiana]

I've been eyeing the Paramilitary lately, and have a few questions about construction and function.

Are the washers now phosphor bronze?
Are the nested dual steel liners partial or nearly full?
How wide and thick is the handle?
What is the length of the handle below the clip (e.g., how much handle is actually inside the pocket when it is clipped there)?
How smooth is it opening and closing (compared to some others that I own or have handled - Native, Calypso Jr, Manix, mini-Griptilian, mini-Skirmish, etc)?

Washers? don't know.
Liners? partial but, when combined with the G-10, strong.
Thick & wide handle? around 7/16" thick and I have cut mine down so I can't remember how wide. I think it was at least 1" to 1 1/4" or so.
Length below clip? guessing around 2"
Smooth opening? as smooth as I ever had (like butter) mine has film washers.

I will add, try to handle before you buy. Some like the compression lock and some don't.

The ones now are fitted with bronze washers,
and so smooth I can "flick" it open or closed if I want to.
A better knife, you cannot buy! Uses like a big knife carries like a small knife.
