The Paramilitary is indeed a full flat grind.

Nice to see more fellow flat-grind addicts. :D
My favorites:
the Military; which brought me into this whole Spydermadness.
the Caly jr.; it's lefty-friendly carry in a smaller package revealed the true advanteges of a flat grind to me for daily use.
the Chinese folder; excellent blade design in a gorgeous package.
the Li'l Temp; for showing that 'sharp' and 'flat grind' can also come together in a very sturdy and strong package.
Since then, the flat grind has become on of my primary criteria for selecting new knives.

If you like the flat grind you will positively love the hollow ground! It has a thinner blade for easier cutting.
Here is what Mr. Joe Talmadge, a Jedi-knight, wizard, guru knife maker says about various type of blade grinds. The Spyderco guy's I'm sure concur since their earliest blades were hollow ground.
