Paramiltary Help

Fake. Your pics are not clear but i can see the font didn't look right and the overall shape of blade is off
 
OP - if you dont mind, how much did you pay for it and where did you buy it? The answers shall tell a bit about the authencity of the PM2.
 
Dang, it was an expensive clone at that! Sorry you got got bro. Hang around, read some and soon you'll be a pro at spotting all the clones!
 
Are you shure it’s not aftermarket handles the dealer said it might be

My iron test for many fake Spydercos is the jimping. Real ones the jimping climbs the arch over the hole like a set of stairs. Fake ones the jimping points much more straight up like ^^^^^.

Best bet is to just buy from a reputable dealer.

I posted some links on how to tell between a real and fake PM2. You have a 100% fake Paramilitary 2. Yours just screams CLONE!

No.

My s90v military that I bought directly from Knifeworks has exactly the same jimpings as the fake one in your picture.

That’s really odd. Every real paramilitary I have looked at has the stair style jimping where the corners of each peak is swept back. I guess it isn’t true for all militaries.

I can see in this picture of it that you are right.

I am thinking this is a counterfeit too the logo is what looks the most off to me. I guess we could ask Sal for the expert opinion.

All you have to do is look at the writing of spyderco and cpm s30v......
I could already see it's messed up in the pixelated photos he posted earlier, where you can't event see whats written. This one is too easy..
