Good morning,

Does anyone know whether the hardware between these are interchangeable? That is, the lanyard tube, two spacer things with T8 screws, and the pivot part with T10 screws?

To my (non expert) knowledge, all of those parts are compatible EXCEPT I don't know about the pivot parts; someone more knowledgeable would have to chime in on that. But yes, the other screws, standoffs, and lanyard tube can be swapped out between CQI'd Militaries and PM2s.

Thanks, maybe I’ll take it apart and measure the pivot to be sure.

Pivot screws are ABSOLUTELY different :
Spyderco Paramilitary 2 pivot screws are T10, thread size 6-32
Spyderco CQI Military pivot screws are T15, thread size 8-32


Scale screws are the same : T8, thread size 4-40

Clip screws are also similar : T6, thread size 2-56
