Paramilitary Wire Clip

senorsquare · #1

I bought a used Techno a couple of months ago and the seller sent an extra wire clip along with the knife. Today, I took some pliers and bent the ends of the clip so it would fit between the 3 screws used to mount the clip on my blue paramilitary 2.

I'm very pleased with the results. The matte finish of the clip looks real nice against the blue G10 and I really love the discreetness of the deep carry. The knife almost disappears into a pair of jeans.

Sal, if it is not too much trouble for you guys, I think it would be nice if you added a couple of slots to the tip up end of the PM2 handles so we could have our choice of spoon clip or wire clip. I know a lot of people love the spoon clip but I think putting a wire clip on the Paramilitary 2 takes a perfect knife and makes it a little more perfecter.

That looks terrific!

I've done a similar mod to several of mine:

But I actually cut channels into the G10 and secured it with the top of the old clip.

I've done this to PMs, GBs, Phoenix... Maybe a few others. Always been plenty strong but I think yours looks cleaner.

Thats awesome. I wish the PM2 had a wire clip option.

Wow, the wire clip looks so much better.

That's a clever way of doing it without carving up the G10.

I'm probably in the minority on this BUT...I wish I could have everything stay the same on the Para 2 with the Para 1 clip.

I'm a fan of the old style clips as well.

(OTOH, I also liked the exposed tang, which seemed to be pretty thoroughly reviled, so my opinion may not be worth much... :D )
