Paramilitary 2 204P 2013 vs 2018

[Soulrack223]

As I have posted in the Heads Up thread, this was my most coveted re-release. I so wished I would have bought two to begin with. So I'm so excited to get another chance.

Here are some comparison pics and there are more differences than I expected. Top one is the 2013 release, bottom 2018.

The scales are the same size but the newer one has a larger ricasso and longer blade overall.

The newer one also has a hyphen between the CTS-204P (vs CTS 204P).

And they're slightly different shades of green, neither of which I would call foliage.

Thank you Spyderco for another awesome Paramilitary 2 release. Now please re-release the red G-10 M390 too.

Great looking knives. I just missed out on the new release. They sold out fast

Nice to see they make little improvements over the years

Maximizing the blade to handle is definitely better. Both are centered with smooth action and sharp as can be.

the ricasso area on the 2018 gives the looking that the knife has been already sharpened many times.
