Gotta agree with you bro.markg wrote:IMHO, the Paramilitary 2 looks like The Military and Manix 2 had a wild night in Vegas...
I honestly prefer the original. The clip looks like the Manix 2 clip, which never seemed to flow with any knife. It looks like someone just bolted a clip on the knife from spare parts. And the large lanyard hole... Dang it is so big it almost make it a Karambit.
I think I prefer the original Digi-Camo version that is riding in my pocket.
Now of course I will HAVE to get one of the newer ones, and of course I will post a thread that says "gee, I have change my mind on the Paramilitary 2."
So just consider this post a precursor to that thread when it comes out. :)
I hate the clip on the Manix 2 and now the Para 2. On most knives (other than the Delica and Endura) it looks like it was put on as an after thought.
I like the original clip with the knife sticking up out of your pocket more. It's easier to grab.
I also hate the huge lanyard holes. I don't see a need for them.
I also don't like the pivot bushing system that the Manix 2 and the new Para share. I don't ever want my blade to be that easy to flick out.
I will not be buying one.
I am obviously in the minority.

Blunt is the handle shorter on the new one? It looks like it on your photos.

Bushbadger here is one more I took outside with the cell phone. You can get a better idea of the handle length.

I really don't like the clip too much but I'm thinking I will appreciate it a lot more when I switch it over to lefty. :)

were did you get your from?
Does it weight more then the PM1, PM2 has full liners right?
Mine will be here Monday, bought from knife center on June 14th.

Jylong_away: The closed retention is significantly greater on the Para2. The lockbar holds pressure on the blade tang in the closed position. One of my only gripes because you can no longer fling the blade out while depressing the bar.
