I think you are right. I hope there are several runs with different color g-10/ blade steels and a titanium integral. I want to see S90V and M4 with DLC.
 
i will probably get one when my para is worn out, probably no time soon :eek: , but the proto looks like a tenacious and a manix 2 had a baby, i wish they kept the blade the same, now the pivot bushing and the 4 way clip is an improvement. :thumbup:
 
I would love to see a Ti framelock with one side Foliage Green G-10 and a DLC black M4 blade. That would probably be my dream Para.

Looks like it is properly characterized as an incremental improvement in a slightly larger knife. Removing the corner, moving the clip holes to the end of the knife, adding a little jimping, etc. All good stuff.
 
IMHO these are all well thought out improvements and I hope there will be some available with CPM D2 blades.

I don't understand the "mini-Millie" argument. The Para2 has completely different ergos, a four way deep pocket clip, and a vastly different and arguably superior lock.

And what's wrong with the Millie anyways?

Not a darn thing wrong with the Military. I go back and forth between the Para D2 and Millie all week. I'm simply saying that the similarity between the Para 2 and the Military is much closer now. I like the ergos, blade shape and such on the Para but will be the first to admit that the tang sticking out with tip down carry can be a little annoying. Personally the ultimate Para "for me" would just have the tang mod if that were possible.
 
Seeing the video is almost enough to make me hold off on buying a Military.

I think the operative word there is almost.
 
Crap!! More crap I'm gonna have to buy. This thing looks too sexy/awesome to pass up.
 
It's that "Devil" part in your name leads to all this sound and good-for-my-wallet advice, right?

I like the longer blade on the Para 2. So, I'll probably have to get the Military too.

Of course. The mili is good for the soul, not so bad for the wallet either;)

Does anyone have any pictures of what a pivot bushing looks like?

It's basically when the Manix 2 has if I am not mistaken.

I'm conflicted about that. I like the looks of the Para 2 so much that I will have to grab one as soon as they're available. It will be black G10 and S30V and there's nothing wrong with that at all. But eight months later when a sprint run is released in grey G10/black DLC coated M4 (or orange G10/S90V), I'll want that one so much more. And I will get it. And it will give me an ulcer. And I will keep doing that, with the Paramilitary 2, with the Sage 3, with the Caly 3.5, again and again and again...

I really wish you hadn't said these things. I told myself that I'll be content once I get my hand on the Para II in G10 S30v

I have a box full of black handled folders with 3-4" blades. How about some color?
