After getting in my first spyderco knife the Tenacious I am officialy hooked. I got it yesterday and despite my fear of the blade shap and thumbhole it turns out that I actualy love it thanks for the suggestions. That being said I would like to upgrade. Did some research on the Para-military and found out that a 2nd one had been released. The problem is where the heck can i find it lol. Been looking everywhere and everyone is out of stock.
 
Glad to hear how much you like the Tenacious. The Para 2 has been popular indeed, I'm loving mine. Good luck.
 
will be nice to find out where i can find one. I actualy have my cousin who is in the airforce looking for me at their shop now lol.
 
I placed an order for mine,, and it was out of stock. I'll get it when I get it.

Also started with the tenacious,,, love this knife.
 
I must have waited too long to place my pre-order. Been waiting for many, many weeks and no idea when the next batch is coming. Hopefully, it will be a big one.....However, I do still have my original Para to keep me company.
 
i realy liked the looks of the para but it turnd me off because not drilled for tip up carry so the para 2 was perfect
 
I ordered one on Tuesday.
There were three places online that had them and I just ordered from the cheapest one ;)
Your google-fu needs to be strong though.
Search by model name, sku number etc. in various combinations (paramilitary2, para-military 2, paramilitary 2 etc.) and be prepared to make a lot of phone calls to see if these places really have them in-stock or not.
Good luck :thumbup:
 
I've been on a waiting list of one of the larger internet stores since mid July if that gives you any sort of idea in terms of timeframe.
 
no good lol Also just to add guys I noticed that alot of websites are selling the Para 2 for alot less then the para 1 why is this? Double checked it just now it appears to be between 30-40usd cheaper then the original para-military.

Probably because the MSRP is $50 lower. Reason for that could be a combination of the thinner blade stock, a design that allows more efficient production. It may also be one of the models where Spyderco is experimenting with a lower profit margin.

It's easy to grin when your ship comes in and good fortune and fame are your lot, but the man worthwhile is the man who can smile with his shorts twisted up in a knot. - Morey Amsterdam

That was what Sal said in a previous post.
 
Mine has been in backorder for a month... No rush though. This just means that Spyderco's test on lower MSRP has been successfull. Enough to make Spyderco use it more in future I hope.
 
I'm such a picky knife person though. I have to have NGK look it over closely before I order it sight unseen. The few small defects were the cause of my last Para's departure.

Time for me to get another Kershaw RAM in the interim while I wait for the Para2.
 
Hi Animal,

Sorry 'bout that. We're between production runs. I guess we didn't make enough on the first run. Might be a month or so.

That actually might work out better. It was suppose to be a birthday present from my wife, but I got impatient and decided to buy it myself. Might go back to birthday, since the timing will be real close.....
