Spyderco paramilitary CPM D2

[ncvarmint]

I saw an original paramilitary with factory box and in like new condition for $230 and almost bought it but hesitated as I didn't know anything about it besides it was i think a 2010 production. Should I have bought it? It is that or a para 3 15v sprint run.
Thanks

I would go with either a 15v Para3 or 15v Military2 . . . while you don't see too many CPM-D2 knives anymore and CPM-D2 is way better than just plain "D2" frequently seen on cheap knives these days. Unless the CPM-D2 Millie is a piece you want or 'need' for your collection, BBB 15V is just amazing stuff to use and when the sprint is gone, it's gone.

cpmd2 is really nice. I EDC'd the Millie version for five years and have nothing but good things to say about it.

That was a cool sprint from back in the day. Always regretted not buying one back when they were made.

Thanks for the responses, sounds like it not really that special. Would like to have it but I guess a new para 3 is a better buy. If wife was okay with me buying it I would stop back by and get it anyway just to have.

I think you might have liked the paramilitary a bit more.

Think I'll be carrying mine today to honor this thread

That is nice and I regret not getting it now. I am debating between the Micarta cru wear or the 15v Sprint. Love the micarta scales but love the finish on the 15v blade. Would buy both but also wanting a Bodacious spy 27 version to put AWT scales on it.

Get the 15V. They're sprint runs and once they're gone they will never be available again.
