You are paying an extra $15 to get a brown handle instead of a black one so the price seems reasonable. Good deal if you like brown or want to speculate on how much the price will go up after it sells out. S35V is designed to perform exactly like S30V so there is no functional advantage. add -> Act...

Doesn't exist, that's the not-yet-available Para2. Assuming you mean the Military, yes, if you shop around, though it is discontinued and a little hard to find at rational prices. I found a link for the s35nv brown one. Is this a good price (ie worth the money)? http://www.finalknifestop.com/produc...

Let's see.. brown millie in CTS XHP, CF millie in M390, 2 green para's in CTS 204. That's $560 in pocketknives plus shipping so far this year. And it's only February. When are they going to stop offering stuff that's so hard to say 'no' to? How come you dont have the brown millie in S35NV in that c...

The brown Military had a CTS-XHP blade. The brown Paramilitary 2 will have an S35VN blade, which is approximately equal to S30V. Buy it only if the brown color sends you. (I did... ;) ) Okay, thanks for the info. Is the one I linked a sprint run? I ask because this link shows it an exclusive to a d...

Hey all,

I too am looking at different Para Military 2's with the sprint runs and I found the brown one with s35nv steel not the XHP. Can anyone explain this to me. Here is a link to it.

Thanks for the info, I will check them out. I hope it is less than that!

I can't remember what steel the Turd PM2 has, but I don't think there is a much better steel than M390/CTS-204P, unless you enter price into the discussion. Which one came with the M390? Is that the blue one? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question but I am new to the Para 2's and just working on ge...

Hi all, I did the pre order on this one too and I think it will be a nice knife. I was also interested in the Earth Brown one cause I seen them around for about $113. Is that a good price for it? I see it is in two different steels so which is the better steel? Any help is appreciated. I did want an...
