No Full Knife Disassembly for Para 2 Back Spacers...
Back spacers for the Paramilitary 2 which requires no full disassembly of the knife to install. The lanyard pipe opening in these G10 back spacers snap over the lanyard pipe due to the flex in the spacers lower tang. The Para2's stainless barrel spacer fits into the back spacers hardware hole and you just rotate the spacer into position for securing with the hardware screws. Only the two screws and barrel spacer need removal for installation of this type of back spacer.

Re: No Full Knife Disassembly for Para 2 Back Spacers...
Besides the fact that it looks cool, why would you add a back spacer to a knife that has open construction? Does it improve the knife in some way for your uses?

On some it indeed improves the grip, this one looks like it will as the raised parts, jimping? will give your palm traction. In some situations closing it in as much as possible keeps dirt out longer even if it traps it in once it gets there. Also some people like the added weight.
If you're wielding the sharpest tool in the shed, who's going to say that you aren't...?

Looks can definitely play a part. I wouldn't put this on my 204P PM2 but I feel it suits this knife well.

Re: No Full Knife Disassembly for Para 2 Back Spacers...
The back spacer was the result of a request from a customer having no ability to disassemble his Paramilitary 2... but wanting the aesthetics and utility a back spacer provided. Lanyard pipes can make disassembly difficult for even skilled individuals.
To what degree of aesthetics and utility a back spacer provides... I leave that up to the individual. I'm just trying to fill a niche.

I think it's cool that you're coming up with a solution for your customers, making modding more accessible. That said, I wouldn't personally add this to my PM2.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Looks like a cool solution.

Any pictures of how close the forest green is to the green G10 on the KW 204P PM2? If it's close enough I might just have to try to snag one of these.

Luckily, the grey, royal blue, and forest green in the previous post are mine and should arrive tomorrow. The green one is slated for my KW 204P model. I'll post some photos as soon as I can. I'm hopeful that the greens are a close match as well!3rdGenRigger wrote:Any pictures of how close the forest green is to the green G10 on the KW 204P PM2?

Re: No Full Knife Disassembly for Para 2 Back Spacers...
Mine arrived today... And they are awesome. Installation was straightforward and painless. They fit well. The tolerance is good (e.g. blocks are a consistent height). I didn't realize that they also extended off the butt by 1/16". Not a problem at all, I just hadn't noticed it when ordering. Obviously they add some non-negligable weight and change the balance slightly. I did have to adjust the stop pin screws slightly on both knives to get the blade back to how I like it.
I like the feel of the backspacer in my hand. Kind of like the Techno. No surprise which of my updated PM2s is modeled after that wonderful knife.
I think the Forest Green matches well with the Knifeworks 204P model, but I will let you all decide for yourselves.

Re: No Full Knife Disassembly for Para 2 Back Spacers...
are these cnc milled? laser cut? 3D printed? handmade? I want to 3d print a custom backspacer and I like this idea.
