Your favorite (Para)Military?

#1

Post by Buck Knives I Like »

I was too lazy to write it all out in the title, so as it sort of dictates my goal is to see what military, paramilitary, or paramilitary 2 knife is your favorite. This can also include a current or discontinued sprint run, etc. Thanks.

A CF/S90V Para2 gets about 50% of all my pocket time, so I'd pick that one. I also carry a regular S30V Millie, occasionally my Ti Millie, and every once in a while, my D2 Para1.
On order: Maxamet Native 5
Current pocket hog: S90V Para2

Thanks. Spyderco makes great knives and I feel fortunate to have gotten a number of the nice ones when they were available.

Camo DLC PM2. S30V is plenty for my EDC tasks. I also think this color combo is kinda signature of this piece.

Those are two nice ones too Holland. Is that D2 patina natural, or did you help it along?

M4 Millie is about as good as it gets...but the CF S90V (which I will one day own!!!) is pretty ace too.

As much as I love my CF s90v para2 I think I like my grey 20cp Para2 just a little more since it was the first sprintrun that I ever preordered and didn't get second hand.
I love the grey g10, can't wait to get the Cruwear Military.

I love my M4 Military but I prefer the lightness of CF versions, followed by S90V PM2.

I like them all. But my personal favorites are probably the S90V Para 2, and the M390 Military.

It's hard to beat CF and premium steel. :D

I only have one at the moment, the blue m390 para 2. I used to have two, but I sold my backup and quickly realized that was a mistake. I am really hoping for one more batch to come through so I can pick up an extra.

Still wating for an M4 Para 2.

in the two plus years since I've had it, it's seen roughly 90% of my pocket time.

I only own 1, so I'd have to go with my Black on Black S30V Para2. It lives in my backpack next to my Fenix PD32.
