Has Spyderco “revealed” a Para 2 lightweight?

Has Eric shown a Para 2 lightweight at SHOT or Blade show? I seem to recall something, but can’t find it. Am I just imagining things?

I thought it was at Blade this year, but I might be mistaking that with the Millie 2.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

It has been in the prototype display, but no announcement.

Idk, I don't remember seeing any video of a Para2 LW in the Bladeshow coverage, but maybe they discourage video of early prototypes. Seems like a big enough deal that forums would be abuzz. All I recall is the Military 2 and maybe the FRN Native Chief. I could see those two swirling around in the subconscious and making a hazy memory of a Para2 LW

As far as I'm aware, the closest has been the aluminum handle Para2 with the lock tab insert. It seems to be a precursor to the hopefully inevitable FRN Paramilitary.
