I believe the blade is a Blade HQ exclusive , totally a big guess . MG2

If they do an M4/Micarta version, I’ll probably break down and buy one.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

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

Ask BHQ, they might be the only source, to answer this question.
Theoretically Spyderco could also provide this information, but they don't announce exclusives of other shops.

I still haven't used my tanto M4 but I really like the idea. I am really interested in a tanto Military 2, assuming they can work the same magic and keep the blade tip in the same place in the open position as the regular blade shape. My biggest gripe with tantos is the tip is usually very high up relative to the handle, but the Para tanto managed to put the tip in the same place so un use it doesn't require you to crank your wrist to make cuts with the tip. If they do a Military 1 or 2 like this it might be my first EDC tanto.

I'd buy another. Maybe some day I'll get the courage to actually use mine. I just play with it.

A military 2 tanto is my dream grail knife man - it would be so good! I use my PM2 S30V tanto all the time and it is a wicked knife, just a bit short. A 4” plus version would make my year.

Good to know at some point, there will be more. A PM2 Tanto is on my must have list.
