knifebros explanation is :thumbup:
btw, somewhere I read the smaller version of PM 2 would not be called PM 3, but Minuteman. Am I wrong?
I am confused. Thought Para 2, Paramility 2, and PM 2 all refer to the same knife. Was I wrong?
Thx. That illustrates well. Is it safe to assume that there will be no official Paramilitary 3 in the future? If so, I think eventually many folks will call this Para 3 as Paramilitary 3 or PM 3.
The Blade is fully flat ground CPM-S30V done in the Para-familiar shape. It's satin finished and three inches in length to accommodate most locations' knife laws.
Makes some sense to me by looking at the names closer...
Military--->ParaMilitary--->Para 3
Same lineage, progressively smaller
And the next one will just be called "4"![]()

Wouldn't it be cool if it had the wire clip?
"Para 2" is short hand by knife nuts for "Paramilitary 2". Kind of like "Millie" for the Military. The Para 3 is officially named the "Para 3" not "Paramilitary 3".
