i have found a link for the patent of the so called "stop lock" http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6918184.html could this possibly be for the millie 2? i hope so :spyder: :spyder: :)
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the Military 2 eventually come about. The stoplock definitely looks interesting. It should have the strength of the compression and axis locks in a unique design.
I for one am VERY glad that it isn't a compression lock. I have tried to like them...and I can put up with it, but I will never like the compression lock. For this reason...If I need to push down on the handle with my thumb, the cutouts and tab dig right into my thumb and it is more than just a little painful. I find that really there is no position at all with the Para2 that I can push down with my thumb. Limits the knife a lot IMO. If it weren't for the great steels that we are seeing in this platform I would never ever own one. In fact I think that I might get some custom scales made for my 20CP and my S90V so that I can actually get more use out of them.
Might be a hand size issue. I never had that problem on the Para 1, Yojimbo, ATR, Lil Temp or Salsa....but I haven't handled a Para 2 yet. Either way I'm really excited for the Military 2 whenever it comes around. I'll be buying at least one, probably a more though :)

Not in the palm, but when pushing down with the thumb in a saber grip.
