The Spyderco Para Military2 has achieved pretty much perfection. It incorporates many improvements over its predecessor and this makes the blade excel on all fronts. The PM2 is a smart choice as a light tactical blade, EDC tool, food preparation knife, and even as a personal collectible. The 3.8 oz carry weight is outstanding given its nearly 4 inch (87mm) modified clip blade. Credit the very aggressive milling out of the steel liners (shown). The full flat ground gives clean slicing capabilities, the sharp tip allows precise surgical work when needed. Be careful on that tip though; it will bend or break if abused. Steel is the fine-grained, consistent CPM S30V with its even carbide distribution (discussed in depth on the long review version), excellent rust resistance, ability to take a fine edge, and toughness. At this price point, scoring CPM S30V steel is another win in the Para2. It arrives offensively sharp as all knives should. Speed of deployment with the enlarged 14mm deployment hole is outstanding; lock up is tight and secure. A revised bushing system with phosphor bronze bushing probably contributes to that and allows the blade to center perfectly within the pillar constructed handle. In-handle blade retention and detent balance is superb allowing "shake outs" when needed but ensuring knife doesn't accidentally open on you. Ergonomics have been greatly improved with key mods: less bulbous handle, longer handle, revised finger choils, and perfect jimping both top and bottom. In any grip, the PM2 locks in tight and inspires confidence. Also easier will be the threading of your lanyard thanks to a larger hole. The pocket clip is now positionable to all four corners of the blade and features the standard, strong Spydie hourglass clip (blackened in some versions). Value is excellent at around $110 for such a versatile, lightweight, good looking, fast deploying, and durable performer. Since 2008 I've been requesting Spyderco and other mfrs to incorporate several of these key improvements; now the PM2 makes them a reality and becomes an instant TNP Hall of Fame blade in the process.///////////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 10 out of 10 - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Just picked up one today! These are hard to find, but luckily I work in Golden about 2 miles from the factory. Went there and they hooked me up. So stoked, what a bad ass knife! Thanks for the vidz nutn!!!
I need to stop buy their factory and check out some of their models. I live quit a distance away, but it's worth it. :)
I've been putting off getting this for way too long....the urge is getting unmanageable
A short Nutnfancy review is like getting a hole-in-one. Awesome. A long Nutnfancy review is like hitting a guy with the ball. Legendary.
What a awesome knive!! This is probably my most favorite knive there is for EDC. It's strong, light and lots and lots of second type of coolness!!
Great review!!
One of the best table-top reviews I've ever watched. Thx Nutn!
Just received mine today. I must say it's the best knife I have ever put in my hand. Great ergo, light and great grip with the G10. Can't go wrong with this one.
Thanks for doing the long review. It adds so much to the depth and experience of watching your videos. I bought my first Spyderco, an Endura 4 in vg-10 a few weeks ago. Now looks like another is in my future! I am a total fan now. Thanks!
part of what we love about your reviews are the fact that you DO take the time to do them. Please don't stop.
I absolutely love the longer videos. Your insight, your knowledge, your enthusiastic delivery just makes me want to get more involved and buy more stuff. After your long video, not only do I know more about the product you reviewing, but it makes me feel better about spending the money. Please stick with the longer videos and please make as many as you possibly can. Thanks - more vids please -
If your in the spirit of the blade, preach it ! Don't hold back, I love the long reviews, and all the thought and effort in each review. That is what makes watching Nutn, a glorious and expensive habit !
long version videos all the way! (and only!) part of the reason us TNPrs enjoy the project so much is because you spend the time and make long, detailed videos without skipping anything. and like someone else said, it teaches us a lot more/gives a better data point for us to go on when looking at knives/guns/whatever!
keep up the awesome work!
I'm all for the longer versions. Gives me something to do early in the morning or when I'm contemplating making changes to my EDC setup.
Love the moderately long awesome in depth knife review....especially on such a sweet piece of steel.
Along with equiped to endure and virtuvoice you are the last word in the thought process of my buying a new knife. Keep in mind I've been in to knives for some 20 years and know a pretty fair amount about knives and steel. You are just awesome brother keep up the good work.
Hey Nut'n. Both versions ROCK for these knives. I did enjoy the longer version a bit more, loved the steel information.
Unbelievable service from Jeff. I ordered a Para Military2 from TCS today (Sat. Dec. 21, 2013) along with (haha, you buggers!) a large SS Kelly Kettle Kit, and received emails within hours that my order had been shipped.
A-Freaking-Mazing!
Awesome job, never stop with the long ones. We love them!
I have the black blade one for about 2 months. So glad to hear ur review . I love my knife just as much
yeah enjoying the longer vids, Its the Nuntfancy enthusiasm we all love and share!!!
I've been waiting for this video for months, could not in good concious buy a knife not reviewed buy nutnfancy, your reviews are the best on youtube(anywhere). Never comprimise! love everything on the channel, and keeps getting better through the years.
I was devastated when Nutn posted the short review on my favorite knife ever!
So happy to see it done Nutnfancy Style!
Done Right Baby!
Sweet!
The long review rocks! I love all the little details. I like your opinion! I like your humor! In fact I look forward to it. I have to admit that when I first started watching video's a couple years ago I was like "come on man get to the point". But now I have learned so much. I really appreciate all the little things that you do and say. I love the long reviews! There are plenty of other places to get a short review. Keep up the long review and all the good information. Thanks.
Best krv of all time.
I've watched it 4 times now
My Father got me this blade for my Birthday, oh boy did I have a good B-day! This Blade is SICK! I have EDCed many blades, and nothing comes close to this. Perfection. I can not tell you how much I love this blade. It cuts through anything, with NO effort on my part. I would recomend this knife to anyone! Oh, wicked factory edge, great job Spyderco!
Your a genius! Short videos for those that complain non stop! And long videos for us that want to learn!
Always love the longer reviews.....thats why we watch
Love the longer videos. Please don't stop making them. They give TV show quantities of entertainment as well as the facts about a product. Hopefully the silent majority that have no complaints about longer videos will chime in here.
Watched both! But I love hearing all your fine points and rambling! Longer all the way!
Diggin' the longer version on the awesome gear... the stuff I don't care for I can find another review on.., or skip forward on.... so if you're trying to figure out which way to go..... it's pretty clear! Love your project, gear and opinions/camera work... Top notch. You rule!
I love the long review Nutn. Best gear review I've seen in a long while.
Keep on doing what you're doing Nutn! I absolutely love the longer vids; For people who are knife "freaks" like many of us, THESE are the kind of vids that we have come to love your channel for.
i'm planing on watching both, every single knife review nutn puts out i love, and the longer the better
totally love the long version and the steel discussion..... you sir are the man
One of the best Spyderco knives! Especially the camo colouration with black blade!
I like longer reviews. More in depth. Makes me as a customer feel more informed when I decide to purchase something.
I was a little worried that we'd only get a 9min review on such a fantastic knife, I'm glad to see a long version.
I like you long videos, for several reasons. I know it sounds super creepy, but you have a really pleasing voice to listen to. I put it on in the background when I'm doing homework sometimes, and I've actually fallen asleep to your multitool review playlist several times.
And you go into more detail than anyone else. I can buy with confidence after a good review from you.
Picked up a camo/satin paramilitary 2 at the gun show while I was in Texas a couple weeks ago. I was a little worried it wouldn't live up to the hype, but long story short, it absolutely does.
I absolutely LOVE my Paramilitary 2. Also, don't stop doing the classic TNP 20-30 min reviews, nobody else can pull them off like you can. Keep up the great work.
Thanks NutnFancy, great review. I live near Golden, you've motivated me to head on down to the factory store and pick one up.
looks like I have a new blade to, gotta feel the steel adduction. Glad to see you got around to reviewing this blade nutn, keep up the great work sir!
i love the longer vids with all your in depth knowledge kepp it up
Sometimes I like the long vids and sometimes I like the short ones, good videos!
That Para Military 2 is worth every dime, just like the information in this video is worth every minute. Long version for the win.
the long reviews are waaaayyyy more satisfying. so much better...
Fantastic EDC knife. I think I'll get a black one to go with my camp version.
probably my favorite knife right now. it just works.
Great video I love how excited you are about this blade and that lanyard is really nice.
Long reviews are what make you the best dude!!!! If I'm purchasing a product I always come to your reviews! You put weapons and gear through true tests instead of buying it and putting it and letting it sit. Just last night I was looking at your remington 870 mossberg 590 and discontinued winchester 1100 (I think), saw you rated the 870 and 590 both 9 out of 10, just by your rating and great review (not 1 vid but 3 part videos!!) I am now confident in either. Good lookin out Nutn, u da man!
Way cool review Nutn...one of your best!...the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is probably the one of the most capable light EDC blades currently available...
For the record, I love the log videos, in fact the longer, the better. SO glad to finally see a Para 2 review as this has been my favorite EDC blade for a long time. I have a couple sprint runs, and then 2 DLC blade/Digi-cam scales and 1 satin blade/digi-cam scales which I rotate for use. DLC coating has amazing durability - 2 years of daily use (some hard use) and it looks brand new if I rub a little oil over the surface. Everything about this blade is perfect, my Military never gets used now.
Awesome review. Coincidentially I ordered the manix in translucent blue this past weekend. I can't wait for it to arrive. Highly considering the paramilitary2 after watching this. Huge thanks to Nutnfancy for always going the extra step on excellent information.
I'll always watch the longer reviews. I think most of us come back to TNP because we love to hear the talk, not just specs on the blades. Thanks!
Great video. That dusty blue shade worked perfect, especially when the blue Manix ll showed up. Just can't get enough of the tabletop knife reviews, my friend.
Love the longer reviews. Great knife.
This is a gorgeous blade.
Just picked up a paramilitary 2 today, it's the best feeling edc blade I got.
I love all the sprint runs in them... I've got the M390 and S35VN versions and they're really awesome. Had a CF and S90V verion... that one was awesome.
Im thinking this one is a must have. Thanks for the hard work Nutn
Just bought my first one for BladeHq a couple of minutes ago and I can't wait to receive it! Thanks nutn! Also anyone looking they have them for $120 and free shipping so hurry while they last.
We're going to watch them both any ways.
1 of the best reviews of a knife I've ever seen!!!
Bingo! I bought this knife a couple of months ago; even before this review. I just likes the looks of it. I knew i loved it, but now it's affirmed! Yep, it rocks.
Got myself one for Christmas from bladehq and it got here today!
Love the extended videos!
Love the review long and short bought a tenacious about a month ago loveit
thumbs up for nutn talking for 30 minutes of stuff you like to talk about!
!!!LONGER VERSION ALL THE WAY!!!
thumbs up guys
I watched both...can't get enough.
long version for sure. got me hooked.
Great review. I watched both short and long videos. Then I bought one. Had to replace my tenacious that had to be given up...Thanks and keep up the good work.
Love the longer reviews!!!
I bought a sprint run FDE PM2 in CPM S35VN. Watched your video and had to have one. Also found a really nice titanium deep carry pocket clip. My other primary edc up until now has been a ZT 0560, and this Spyderco just blows me away. Light, strong, sharp, and let's face it...sexy as hell. Thanks for all the great reviews. I've bought a lot of knives based on your reviews and I've yet to be dissatisfied.
Spyderco Paramilitary 2 (FDE sprint run)
ZT 0560
Spyderco Endura 4 ffg
Kershaw Cryo
Cold Steel Recon 1
Cold Steel Espada XL (holy crap it's big)
KelTec PF9 (wife's edc)
Glock 30s (my edc)
Seriously man, the long versions is what TNP is all about!
Another great review. Never ending I hope. I would love to get a hold of some S30V knives now.
I love all your videos! I watched both the short and the long version! :)
i bought a digicam black blade version used off amazon, i thought i would have to sharpen it when i got it because its used. it came in original box, but the box was cut along the front. but when i opened it the knife was in the wrapping and brand new. used/cut box, BRAND NEW knife. half the price of a new one. i was stoked
I just walked into the local surplus store and saw the sprint run of this; was planning on just picking up a Delica for my first Spyderco, but I couldn't resist.
Thanks for the long version the ups man hasn't come yet! So frustrated. Your videos are keeping me sane. I like the longer versions on cool gear.
By the end 33 mins felt too short, love it!
I keep almost buying a certain knife, but then I see another or am reminded of a certain review of yours. Mostly switching around between Spydies. So many great knives, what a wonderful problem to have!
Picked up my paramilitary 2 about 5 months ago. Im military LE and it is defiantly a reliable EDC, worth the money! keep up the good work nutn!
Mine came today, I bought the blackout. Wow.....the videos do no justice for this knife, it is WAY nicer in hand. I think I may have drooled on it a bit. I got it from Hero Outdoors in Oshawa, Ontario. 150.00 with free shipping.
Love these nutnfancy reviews.
p.s. this thing is scary sharp out of the box.
If you own a Paramillie, try opening it with your dominant hand middle finger. It is fast, and requires no readjustment to get the proper grip. With this particular knife, i've actually found tip down to be slightly faster, as there is no shifting required.
I knew for a fact that you would love this blade !!!
I prefer the longer reviews as they are much more in-depth and they completely transcend the typical crap out there. Comprehensive, truthful reviews and entertaining digression are at the root of TNP.
This is my hands-down favorite knife that I own. I've got the black handle with the satin finish blade. Got it from the Spyderco outlet in Golden, CO. Love the Spydercos!
love the vid. I had the 2011 product guide and was bummed when in feel in the toilet.
Thanks for the review. Well done. I have one on order in CTS-XHP steel. Can't wait till I get it.
you will love it, its honestly one of the best purchases i have ever made.
Long version hands down. Thanks for a great review.
Ive watched this vid probly 20 times....for real, love this knife!!
Great knife, I`m lovin` the longer review too.
Great review, love all the comparisons/contrasts of the other goodies. Currently carrying the SOG Aegis as my EDC. Strongly considering this knife as a backup or even replacement! Great job man keep up the outstanding job you do!
The long review, I think us best. The short review was good also, like all your videos. Keep making them and we the view will continue to watch them...
that para military 2 is just freakin awesome!!
Love my spyderco Endura. I will have to check this blade out.
after a good committed effort I find your right, i still find i like slightly softer steels because i can maintain them a little easier.
nice good timeing i just got my paramiltary 2 today and im loven it.
I watched the shot video first and it is great, but I love this one.
I prefer longer reviews, but respect the effort to try and help those that have limited time too! VIVA LA TNP!!!
Thanks for killing the bank account, went ahead and purchased both. Thanks for another top notch review...
I had the Tenacious for a couple years, used it every day at work. I ordered this the other day, I can't wait!
+muthaflaco75 like it?
+Michael StJohn I did. If you have the choice, I'd go with the P2. The steel is better and it's amazing how long it holds an edge compared to the Tenacious.
