Paramilitary2 tip test

[zuzja]

I think all of you remember my last video about para2. Before i will send it to Spyderco - little tip test. Sorry for a quake.

Some people think that tip on military/paramilitary is too thin for hard use. As you can see - tip is OK.

Hahaha, I doubt this vid will be near as controversial.

You're not really testing the tip like that. You're testing the cutting edge towards the tip.

 

[Damn_Animal]

i think people are worried about using it for light prying not like THG said its ability to cut on its tip

i didn't try to break the tip, i've just tried to do some job with fine tip. if i want to break tip, i know some tricks

So what happened with your last P2? or are you not saying anything about that?

 

[Mr. Hands]

Wow you tried that with a collectors model?
Looks like the lock didn't hold up to that little whack you gave it

i have only one p2 and i'm going to send it to spy.

Mr. Hands, i'm not a collector, so i just use the knife i have

This Para is one with a faulty lock that is getting sent in for repair/replacement so it was used for this tip test before sending it in. My Para2 has a very solid lock-up and doesn't fail when tested like this one did.

this is the only one para2 (as i know) that have this problem

I agree with rororo, get the lock fixed then do a video. I was looking around this morning at home with my sick son. So board-um plus bladeforms equals me spending money. I was getting ready to pull the trigger on either a military or paramilitary until that. Now I am back to doing my research.

Yep, never seen another lock fail with it:thumbup:

I really enjoyed that video.
It shows how the fine tip is über sharp and reliable too in wood working !
Knowing your tools and using them wisely is mandatory.
Great video !
The Paramillie rocks !

Note that at 2:09 in the video the spine whack is not actually a spine whack. It seems to me that the back farthest part of the spine AND the foremost part of the lock made contact with the log. With the positioning of the compression lock I'm fairly certain you disengaged the lock when it made contact with the log.
