Caly Jr. Mili and Para

Hello everyone,

I just want to know if someone can post a picture of those three in one shot, or refer me to a link. It can be bad and blurry, from a phone camera...it's just as a reference for lenght...

Oh, it can also be very clear and sharp, I don't mind... :)

Well, I thank you very much...

Great pics.

Now I've seen a very clear picture of it I'm almost sure that my next knife will be the Military SE. I only wonder if the serrations on the Military will work as good as VG10 serrations. In the picture they seem rounder(less sharp?) I have mentioned this issue in former threads.

I bet they do. If you use the knife for its intended purpose (no abuse) and you regularly touch up the edge on the Sharpmaker , I think the serrations and their sharpness will last you a loooooooong time. :)

Thanks Burnett,
When I tested my used ScorpiusSE and my ParamilitarySE on a thick canvas strap I noticed that the cutting with my Scorpius went easier than with my Paramilitary(which was new out of the box)
Nevertheless I ordered a MilitarySE(just seems like a great knife and I wanted to have it) Hope I will not be disappointed(which I was a little with my Paramil) We'll see, I'll let it know.
