Paramilitary collection

[DrtyHarry]

WOW!! I am very very impressed!! Tell me, are you able to torque down on all of the pivot screws so that the blade gets stiff and hard to open/close? I am able to do that with ALL my PM2s, just not the BHQ M4. I finally figured out how to eliminate any blade play that some of the ones I have had, but I can't seem to fix this one. Going to send it back next week along with 2 old school Millies that need to be sent in. Any advice? Thanks!!

Which ones are the users?

None of them - they are all NIB. I have quite a few doubles which are in my EDC rotation.

Amazing collection!

However, you still need the one and only serrated D2 PM1...

Thanks. They are all the officially released PMs. I guess you can take any of them and ask Charlynn to add a spyderedge for you. Would that make a new release? IMHO it does not. But, personally, I would buy all SE PMs and Militaries that Spyderco cares to make available...just love SE!!!!

That is a great collection WCC, you put that together pretty quick too, didn't you just start like a year or so ago, I think I remember you grabbing a big hand full off the exchange at the start. That takes some doing to get that many that fast, good job.

Thanks and yes, I went a bit crazy. :D

Is this remarkable trove for ogling or for use? If the latter, understand that you are among a unique few who can be meaningfully asked: What is your favorite Para Military?

EDIT: Oops, you got in before me with your answer. But I suppose the question can still be asked...

You can't be married. Each purchase I make I have to either add to the honey do list or break her resolve not to let me buy more toys. Either way it ages me considerably. lol

Great collection you have there. :spyder:

Marc, the PMs I find myself carrying most often is the black blade with camo handle (I do quite a bit of shooting so have a natural tendency to like camo :D) and the older PM1 with black serrated blade. Re the steel, I prefer the stainless rust resistant steels. Sharpening used to be a factor but I have grown so accustomed to getting a very sharp edge with the Sharpmaker, so it is not really an issue for me anymore.

Thanks for the comments. I am married and perhaps my wife is alien as she has never bat an eyelid on my hobby spending habits. :D

Funny how our preferences get formed. My recent S110V and M4 PM2 acquisitions do not lessen my affection for my 204P PM2. It was the one that finally sold me on the PM2.

Granted, I've been alternating my M4 PM2's (they are my newest, and M4 is my favorite steel), but once that novelty wears off, I will hardly regret carrying my 204P.

You know, seeing them all together like that confirmed something for me. I think the s110v dark blue handle is the nicest pm2 ever made in looks and quality. I thought for sure I'd like the m4 natural g10 better, but I've got to give the edge to the blurple (not to mention the action on that model is perfect, the blade swings open and closed effortlessly). I should add im not a fan of carbon fiber.

I think "Blurple" is my close 3rd in looks. I'm torn between the Jade and Orange with black DLC blade for 1st and 2nd. The pic with all the PMs really does not do the Jade scales justice. Here's a pic that's slightly better iro the Jade scales.

I see one fake one in there.

Just kidding.

If there is one it must be a **** of a good one. :D

It really is a beautiful knife, it's a very close second to the blurple. Blurple hides wear and dirt a little better than the natural g10, otherwise it would be a tie for me.

Love that pic. :D

orange handle/black blade FTW!

You know what, add a spyderedge to that to put it over the top. :D

Beautiful collection of Para Militarys you have there, WCC!

Very impressive. I didn't realize we'd made so many variations. Thanx much for the support.

Excellent PM2 collection, WCC. I've only seen one other PM2 collection that was almost as nice as yours. Well done!

Thanks for the complements Sal and everybody. Cudos to Spyderco for such a great design. :D If only we can get the PM2 in a spyderedge.
