Para-Military?

Hi KWilliams. It is our policy not to release any pics until we have a confirmed delivery date.

Oh OK. Will it be similar to the regular Military? Or are all specs classified until release? :D
 
G-10 (probably black)
CPM-S30V
Compression Lock (dual nested liners)
4 way wire clip

Wire clip? :( I only have my Meerkat with wire clip and I'm not very fond of the way it performs. I nearly lost the knife a few times, because the darn clip tends to hang the coating of my jacket when I bend or sit. I found the knife not in the pocket (front, right) but hanging inside my jacket - fortunately the spring was strong enough to hold it there.
 
In my limited use of wire clips I have found them to be either to loose (Q)or to tight(Salsa and on the Merkat I had).I like the 3 screw clips much better.You can't improve on perfection.BTW the Barrel bolt clip is as good as the 3 screw too IMHO.
 
I waited in vain for the Trakk'r. I'm sick of waiting for the Paramilitary. It's been three years or more since the model was proposed. Modern aircraft have been proposed, designed, trialed, and put into production in shorter time frames. I think it was vaporware from the start. I just ordered an Emerson Mach I which will be my new EDC!

AFAIK it is still coming. Once they did the pilot pre-production run they found a fundamental problem with the design and it had to be retooled. The same thing happened with the Vesuvius, which has its production stopped and it is being retooled like the Trakk'r.
 
Sorry about that Ajrand. We do our best. Often we try to do too much. Might be easier to keep my mouth shut until production is ready. I hope you enjoy your Mach I. Perhaps in the future you might give Spyderco another try.

I for one don't mind the wait. I'd rather see the thing done right. I too have picked up other knives to "tide me over" while waiting for a new Spyderco model to hit the street. The result? Another new knife for me. Not a bad problem to have. The Emerson will do nicely!
 
Sal - Bummer on the G-10 choice. I guess the "Anything But Black" concept fell by the wayside somewhere along the way. Too bad.


ajrand - geez, its only a knife. Get real. I like my tools and toys too - but it's not like the Paramilitary folding knife is going to change the shape of future!
 
Oh, pardon my fit of grumpiness last night! I'm sure I'll like the Emerson, but I still love Spydies and will absolulely buy a Paramil. when they (FINALLY;) ) hit the market. I yell at my wife sometimes too, but I still love her!
