That was the big complaint many of us had about the Para 1 and why I sold the three I had. You must have really big hands. I wear an XL or XXL glove and the Para 2 is perfect for me.razorsharp wrote:Hmm, move the finger swell back a tad, and make the handle a bit longer, for larger hands- a lot of people are pretty much forced into the choil. Even mod the ergos to make it a TAD longer behind the choil while minimally making the handle longer. Keep the blade as is, its supposed to be smaller than the millie. Its hard to improve perfection

Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

Since we're just talking, I'd like to see deep carry wire pocket clip, thinner blade, thicker G-10, and lighter liners.
But really, I just want the wire pocket clip.

I'd like to see a variant with a deep carry wire clip too. My job is such that all I can carry is a UKPK or Caly 3.5...

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

I guess we all agree that the para 2 is a most excellent example of knife design. To improve this all further changes have to be "top notch".
- matte Titanium wire clip (deep carry)
- Titanium scales
- even better screws
- perhaps a more expensive steel?
- polished blade?
- my personal wish: knife tip a hint thicker

Entirely possible, Chuck. See my response on the Tuff not so Tuff thread, if you care to. Olive branches all around.chuck_roxas45 wrote:Did you get enough sleep? You seem to be in a snarky mood. As per your post in the other thread also indicates.

I'd wish for a production run of the modifications this guy made maybe even a Damascus steel version or the Acid etched he did on some ZDP steel.
He also rounded some of the G-10 and rounded the steel right behind the spyderhole.
Also on another note is something going On, for example I have cash but no website period has the Paramilitary 2 In Stock (in particular the All Black Model)

Heh, heh, heh [snort], oh, they are real my friend; in my mind, they are very, very real. And they are deployed on the backs of flying unicorns!Blerv wrote:Maybe laser-guided rockets but "laser rockets" aren't even real. Let's keep this productive people; don't just make stuff up and ask them to integrate it.

How do you propose Spyderco do that?STWesterner wrote:Same handle size and more edge/blade length, it needs a better ratio

I dont think it wouldn't be to difficult to slightly change the shape of the blade and still not interfere with the lanyard hole. Change the angel of blade spine slightly to get a longer blade with the same scales.chuck_roxas45 wrote:How do you propose Spyderco do that?
But I am no knife maker or expert.
