I see pictures of spyderco paras with 'PARA-MILITARY' on them. Then I see other with just the spyder bug, what's the difference? I want one with a spyder bug on it, where do I get one of those?
 
I've never seen one with the name on the blade. Mine came from NGK and it's got just the bug on it. Hope that helps.
 
AFAIK, if you saw a picture of a Para-Military with the name on the blade, it was a prototype. When those photos were show, there was considerable negative reaction to writing on blades in general, and to para-military in particular due to its association with unsavory groups at both extremes of the political spectrum. Spyderco decided to omit the lettering from the production version and dropped the lettering from the Military sometime thereafter as well.

I don't think I've seen "PARA-Military" on the blade, but I've seen "MILITARY" on some of the older Millies. All the new ones (Militaries) just have the bug
