Para 2 SMKW Lava Flow

#1

Post by ed9957 »

I just got my Para 2 SMKW Lava Flow. I must admit it's even nicer in the hand when compared to the pics. I was unsure about smooth Carbon Fibre scales (initially I posted they were G10) but I like them and they have a great feel in the hand. Very cool the way it changes colors depending on the angle the light hits it. It has cured my obsession with the Manix 2's and I'm fallen back in love with the Para 2. I have quite a few different Spydies, 50+ but if you asked me today to just keep one knife, this would be it. I don't mind the M4 steel either..I will be on the hunt for the past SMKW Para 2's now 🤣

That lava flow material is a carbon fiber composite, not G10 - just a FYI. Cheers, Radioactive

You are totally right! It's carbon fibre and I got mixed up with the description I will edit the original post.

Thanks
