Paramilitary 2 or manix 2

Did some searching.... The post I referenced was from April. It was BladeHQ.

Sorry guys. I didn't pay much attention to it when I was reading and was going from memory.
 
These are the only folders I own. The pm is lighter and a little narrower in your pocket. The manix feels like a more substantial knife but weighs more. Seems like I carry the manix more when going to do outdoor activities and carry the pm more when going into town. Sorry I am equally happy to rotate either into my pocket.

I like both but prefer the basic platform of the PM2 over the Manix 2 for the following reasons:

1. Fits in pocket better
2. Open pillar construction makes cleaning easier
3. Edge to compression lock over BBL
4. Less jimping
5. Pointy tip and narrower blade profile adds to utility
6. Has R & L Tip down clip options in addition to tip up

My like for the Manix 2 is mostly tied to certain versions that the PM2 has no alternative to. Specifically the BBS M4, the EDCF GITD and the FRN S110V versions of the Manix 2. Standard PM2 S30V vs Manix 2 S30V I would pick the PM2 everyday of the week.

Yeah...at the end of the day, having owned several Manix 2s, I decided I preferred the Para 2 mostly because the Manix 2 is too "tall" in the pocket and in the hand.

Para 2 in S90V, 20CP, 204P, M390 doesn't give up much to anyone... ;)
 
PM2 is usually my spring/summer carry knife and Manix 2 XL I like to carry in fall/winter when I can stash it in my coat.
