Got a thread going on BF also but know there's a few regulars here that don't tread over there.
Here's a few quick ones taken upon arrival.

I agree with you two. This is a terrific shade and if we can get a military, we can have a serious green collection going.

Man, I thought I was early on the pre-order, paid 3 months ago... and I still don't have any update.

Thanks for sharing. Does the Green one have a smaller handle than the blue one? All of your pictures make it look that way.

Sorry that's just the angles of the pictures, handles are the same size.

One more vote for a matching Military.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Has anyone noticed the slightly different peel ply texture on the green G10? Look at the pictures of the blue and green Paras together. I like the new peel ply texture - it has a very grippy, slightly abrasive feel to it...

Even rougher than the blue? The blue was a bit coarse, wasn't it?

I thought the Orange and Blue had an equal coarse texture. They feel like the militarys, but not as smooth as the Manix 2s.

Hmmm now that you mention it, I agree about the blue and orange. The brown millie does feel about as coarse to me too. I have a camo millie and a black/satin and a camo para that feels smoother than the orange and blue and the brown millie though.

You peaked my curiosity so I opened the case to discover you are correct. The OD Military and Brown both share the rough texture with the Orange and Blue Para.

I really prefer this texture and wonder if a quick sandblast would turn my old smoother G-10 back into a renewed grippy version?

A weird thing about my blue para, one scale has a rough texture and the other has a fine texture.

One difference I've noticed between the green and blue is that the edges of the green PM2 are more rounded, softer if you will, and the edges of the blue para feel sharper in comparison. Not a huge difference but the green is slightly more comfy in the hand.
