Para Military 2 new model

Montanabladefix · Oct 31, 2013

This might be a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway....

How do you tell the difference between the paramilitary 2 new model and the older model when ordering online?

I'm specifically talking about the digital handle black blade model.

Thanks for your help

The easy visual clues will be the much larger lanyard hole and the four-position "spoon" clip rather than the Military-style clip with the triangular mount and a hole for the pivot screw in the center.

If it's a picture of the actual knife your looking to order it should be easy. If not, you might have to go by the model #. The digicam/DLC version of the Para 1 is C81GPCMOBK, if its the Para 2 Gen of the same knife, then it'll be C81GCMOBK2

Notice there won't be a letter "P" since the PM2s have only been offered in plain edge (the 1's had a serrated edge option), and most obviously it'll end in 2, designating it as a ParaMilitary "2"

Very easy to identify when the knife is closed . . . P2 no blade bump like P1.

No, found online. His last one.
But Army Navy Whitefish and Kalispell have a great selection of Knives.

The early Para2s Camo/DLC models had satin finished screws, new ones are all black hardware.
