Re: Post your Paramilitary 2s

Re: Post your Paramilitary 2s
Thanks. Can't have them all. Wouldn't want to. Actually hoping that in 2020 there won't be any PM2 temptations. OK, maybe just one.
I think I realized there may be a problem after I bought my second one, almost four years ago. I know there was a problem once I lined these up in early 2018,

Re: Post your Paramilitary 2s
They're beautiful, useful knives. Of all the Spyderco knives, they're my favorite. The lines just seem to flow together.

Re: Post your Paramilitary 2s
It’s missing burnt orange! Otherwise I agree :cool:
Oh, and you’ve done a blade swap on the 52100 and BHQ M4. Where’s the CF-M4 child?
Re: Post your Paramilitary 2s
Thanks guys! Can you tell which is my favorite :spyder: model :p
In a way, I do wish I got the REX45. But I do have it in the Military, and am looking forward to getting the Chief in this steel.
Yes, the CF scales... Good catch, by the way. They were on my BBS M390 PM2. Loved that knife. Favorite at the time, and the scales were a huge part of that. Practically slept and showered with it on me. Lost it while spending a day on/in a river. I have been patiently waiting for another release of a PM2 with CF scales.
By the way, the only two stock models are the 20CV and the K390. The rest are mutts.
- the pictured M390 with darkened and contoured smurf blue scales (BBS), actually has the DLT M390 blade
- the Cruwear model has the Maxamet gray scales. The blade is from the KC smooth G10 model
The last picture, near its final resting place,
Peter
Re: Post your Paramilitary 2s
Right! I’d forgotten about the lost one. Brutal. And didn’t pay close enough attention to your other swaps
I’d like to collect more of the PM2s and Para3s, but there are too many and it’d be too much capital for me. I’d like to try K390 on DBH’s recommendation... and I very much like the one millie I have (cruwear). I wish I’d been able to get a rex45 millie, but wasn’t sure I’d like it. It wasn’t until I won a casual bid on a “wine” dyed cruwear millie that I learned to appreciate the design.
My favorite daily carry is a BHQ M4 para3, it looks much like your 52100 patina. I swapped black oem scales onto it since I don’t care for the “jade”. Would love to trade the jade for some oem CF or forest green G10.

Nice! Just got some green canvas micarta scales for my Para 3, but waiting on some extra hardware too. Looking forward to the install!Roy Campbell wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 9:32 am

Re: Post your Paramilitary 2s
PM2 is my all time favorite and by far my most carried knife.
