Spyderco Para Military 2 Folding Knife 18

First, a LOT bigger than expected. Secondly, phenomenal build quality. Instantly feels right in the hand. ( Yes, I've already cut myself). Thirdly, how the hell do you do it? Next day delivery a week before Christmas. You must be stealing elves off Santa.

Love this knife can’t put it down did a lot of research before buying and I’m not disapointed.highly recommended

Great product, highly recommended

Great in every aspect, my favourite to date, prefer this over every edc i've owned in the past, and as a person who wears xl gloves, it's an ideal handle size.

What can you say, it’s a PM2, chances are if you’re on this page reading this review you know what a PM2 is. The one I received was in black g10 and s45vn. Took a couple of days of fidgeting and a few drops of oil to make it reliably ‘Spyderco flick’ open and drop shut. This is what a quality made knife feels like

I can see why this is a popular knife. There’s something special about it as soon as it touches your hand. Tolerances are super tight. Materials are obviously high quality. Locking mechanism feels wonderful. The blade finish just kind of sings and the minimal engravings top it all off. Don’t let anyone tell you this knife is soulless. It’s just a perfect bit of minimalist design that you’ll struggle to put down. I also own a Sage 2 and the Taiwan finish is a little ‘neater’ but feels a bit sharp on the non-cutting edges (especially in the thumb ring) and lacks the charisma on the Para 2. The Colorado plant definitely has a bit more flair. Impeccable service from Hennie as usual. Goes without saying really.

So, my first Spyderco knife, delivered super-fast from HH as usual. Thanks guys. I have never been a great fan of Spyderco knives - I don't know why, although the Hundred Pacer has been on my shopping list for a while. Anyway, I decided that my collection would not be complete without a couple of so called 'must have' knives, such as the Benchmade 940 or Griptillian, and of course the ParaMilitary 2. So, without repeating all the good things that have been written about the PM2, I have to agree 100%. It's beautifully put together, everything looks spot on, sharp out of the box etc etc. I had to smile at the engraving on the blade - 'Golden, Colorado USA Earth' !! How far do these knives go?!? So, why the 'but'? Well - I don't know why, but somehow the knife feels sort of soulless, without the appeal of something like my Viper Dan 2 wood, or Mcusta Tactility. I can't see myself playing with it much. It's a bit like comparing a new Audi with an old Alfa Romeo. The Audi is beautifully put together, super functional, incredibly reliable, but wouldn't stir my senses like an Alfa. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. It's still a great knife!

The hype is true. The amount of reviews of this knife on YouTube are staggering and for good reason. Probably top 5 EDC knifes of the last decade

I am glad I bought this knife. I use it for simple tasks any cheap knife can accomplish, but having quality knifes gives me pleasure. I would like to thank Heinnie for making this products available for us for a fair price. I am willing to pay for a high quality product, but if I see that it is double the price of US market, it really repels me from the product and the seller. I am happy with Heinnie, I am happy with Paramilitary 2.
