Great knife out of the box.

I just got this knife. It has great quality out of the box that surpasses many of the the knives that my family and I own. Razor sharp from the factory. I agree with all the positive things people have said about this knife in their reviews. I have not used it much yet, so I will write a later, more extensive review.

My #1 EDC knife I love this knife! The digi camo para was the first spyderco knife I ever bought and until I had one in my hand never thought much of spyderco knives. Now I have 2 paras and a mili and I'm lookin at the earth brown. Its light, opens and closes smooth and locks up pretty good. The blades are always centered with no up/down side to side movement and love the way it fits in my pocket. For the price I have nothing to complain about. I definitely recommend tryin one out

One the best EDC's out there for the price.

My wife purchased this knife for me as a late birthday gift and it hasn't left my pocket since. It sees your everyday EDC use from opening packages to field food prep. The dead on blade centering and buttery pivot will make you smile. The knife is surprisingly light for its size thanks to it's g10 scales and milled liners. Deployment speed is great, especially via the "spydie flick" method. The blade comes scary sharp from Spyderco and makes for a phenomenal slicer. This is my first experience with Spyderco's Compression Lock, it is absolutely rock solid. Me being a lefty it took some time getting use to, but is now second nature. The knife feels at home in my medium large hands in every grip. Being made in the good ole USA you can't go wrong. I now see why this is a "must have" knife. The only con that I have found is that the very fine tip of the blade can bend relatively easily. This can easily be fixed with some taps in the opposite direction and a couple of swipes across a sharpening stone.

Great knife! Sharp!

Well I believe when you buy any knife it should be used for a specific task. However I wanted a knife to do all task. So I ordered this spyderco para military for the hopes to use for many task. And it has not disappointed me at all. I use it fishing from cutting lines, tape, pot lines, fish, bait, boxes. The jimping is well placed and grippy and to my surprise the handle is grippy like a light sand paper so it holds well in slippery conditions. And stays in the pocket even if your upside down. Love this knife. Strongly made,

Blown Away

This knife just leaves me speechless. stepped up from a tenacious and it was worth every penny. Blade holds it edge and the centering deployment, EVERYTHING is just perfect. I love the compression lock and the best part about the knife is the tip. The tip and blade part of it is so sharp and precise, it wisks through paper, tape, string. I just love this knife. All i wish is that they made the deep wire carry clip. but i will just have to order the titanium one from that guy who makes them

Great Knife!

This is the second Spyderco (first was a Tenacious) that I have purchased and I was looking for a high quality edc. The G-10 on the handle has just the right amount of grip, but slides in and out of the pocket smoothly. The blade size is adequate for just about anything, but not so big that you always feel it on your person. I continually touch the end of it in my pocket to make sure it's still there. The action is smooth and the lock-up is firm. I love the Digi-Camo and the black blade is positively evil looking. Awesome knife!

Sweet blade

At first when i got this knife out of the box it was allot lighter then I expected and it kinda threw me off, i carried it with me for a few days anyway just to see if it grew on me. Boy did it grow on me, it went from a not so interesting knife to my most carried with a click of the fingers. Only problem with mine was it wasnt that sharp out of the box but for me thats easily fixed. Good Job spyderco!

This knife is...AMAZING! SOOO friggin sweet! If you're into Spyderco at all but don't own this knife, what's wrong with you?! If you don't have a Spyderco yet, buy this and you'll be converted! This knife is top of the line. Fit and finish are the best out of any knife I own, including my Benchmades, Spydercos, Kershaws, Cold Steels, etc. The g10 is awesome. It's a tad grippier than Kershaw's Skyline but not nearly as aggresive as Cold Steel's Recon 1 or AK-47. Quite frankly, its perfect! The pocket clip is typical Spyderco and the digi camo looks friggin great. I can't say enough about this knife. Get it and enjoy!

First of all, I own quite a few Spyderco's and other brands. This is by far the best EDC I've ever had. No questions. Everything about it fits "me". S30v blade - check. G10 scales - check. Blade length - check. Liner lock - check. Digital camo - check. Sharpness and ability to keep an edge - double check. I've had this on me everyday for 8 months now and no complaints. It just works so get one.

The para 2, an Icon lives!!!

What can i say about this knife that hasn't already been said? Its just a great folder in every aspect. I have read reviews where the person states that he wouldn't want to use this knife all day because of the handle(he states something like a mora rubber handle would be more comfortable for all day use) but doesn't back this statement up with actually using this knife for hours on end. Every one is different, but i do not find this knife to be uncomfortable in my hands for prolonged periods.Dollar for Dollar this knife is a great buy and its made in the USA, what more could you ask for!!!

Folding survival knife

Love this little blade. I took it on a mock bug out over the weekend (of course I also had a fixed blade but I wanted to see if the PM2 is as tough as everyone says it is) and used it to perform a whole bunch of survival and bushcraft tasks (batoning, carving, cleaning fish, etc) and it handled it like a champ. Still razor sharp and zero damage. The black coating on the blade held up amazingly well too. The spine is sufficient to strike a ferro rod or shave bark off of a stick as well. Also performs EDC tasks extremely well. I've beaten the heck out of this knife over the past 4 days and still have yet to need to sharpen it even after cutting tons of boxes, skinning, batoning, carving, etc. I highly recommend this knife

update :Heres a lil' testimonial, I was recently clearing my land for a fence line...I have a folding saw, for cutting the light stuff, but left it at home that day. so I pulled out my spyderco pm2 and spent the better part of the day cutting saplings up to the size of my thumb..at the end of the day I was surpised at just how sharp the knife still was.I don't have a genuine strop but I fashioned one from an old leather belt and rubbed some "Marble's Green Rouge Strop Compound" on one side and man let me tell you, with little effort and a few swipes I was able to get my knife back shaving sharp in a matter of a couple minutes ... great knife.... holds an edge like nobody's bidness !

Serious light weight unit

In this political climate ,whipping out your typical EDC tactical knife might draw unwarranted attention. Spyderco has always been a very unobtrusive tactical that much like they advertise "are always working on improving" doesn't garner bad intentions. The Para Military II is the next evolution from Spyderco to be that EDC tactical knife.

excellent fit and finish. crazy sharp.

as the title says excellent fit and finish, the blade coating is flawless it looks awesome. the action is smooth and very satisfying the lockup is solid and feels very strong. the compression lock takes a little getting used to to close and open it with 1 hand but a little practice and it becomes muscle memory. the only flaw i notice with mine was one of the liners had a burr sticking out a little although it didn't touch the blade. i took a small file and removed it and notice there was a very very ( less than 1mm ) small semicircle divet on the top of the one of the liners. not worth taking a star from since it doesn't interfere or weaken the knife in anyway that i can tell. looks like the spot where the water-jet or plasma cutter initially started the cut. the lanyard hole is also very nice able to fit 550 para-cord with no issues. the gimping on the blade allows for a very solid grip. the handle feels great and i have big hands. the size is just right for mine. my only concern is the tip is very fine but it shouldn't be a problem unless u use it to pry something which it is most defiantly not intended for. overall if ur on the fence about buying one of the 3 flavors go for it. you wont be disappointed.

Light weight fits my hand perfectly, love the compression lock very easy to use. Service from knifecenter was awesome ordered on Monday had it in my hand by Thursday that same week. Bought a Manix 2 a couple weeks later and had the same great service. Highly recommended Knifecenter.

Perfect folding edc!

This is a fantastic knife,comes shaving sharp out of the box.Great handle shape, conforms perfect to the hand.Balance,jimping and choil are dead on.Deep carry pocket clip and large lanyard hole is a plus.Handy lock and quick deployment.The weight is light for a folder this size and carries in the pocket with plenty of room left for other gear.The precise tolerances of the lockup may cause the lock to be a tad sticky on a new knife but will break in after some use.If you move the pocket clip to tip up carry,remember to blue loctite the screws.This is one of the best thought out knives I've ever owned!

Best folder for the price.

I use this for EDC. It has a great quality blade, opens easily and secures firmly in the lock position. Razor sharp and the G10 handle provide plenty of grip. This size is more than sufficient for EDC and its much larger than it appears in pictures. I like it and my friend is already purchasing one for himself. I bought this particular knife and the coating appears of high quality. No regrets in this purchase, the Quality Control upgrades was done right. The only negative is that its difficult to slide into your pants. You will have to sand the small part of the handle under the clip. I also changed the clip to the other side of the blade.

Great EDC

I have to say that the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 in on the upper range of EDC, for both quality and value. The blade is sharp right out of the box, the steel is good quality and the knife feels right at home either in the pocket or in your hand. It is a bit aggressive looking when deployed (hence the name Paramilitary 2), and it could easily scare people with the aggressive blade shape. So it's not the knife choice for deployment in public areas unless you want to attract attention. However, this knife is very useful and very capable in your daily life and will over achieve in cutting up food, or breaking down some larger cardboard boxes. The jimping on the knife is great for precision cuts, or aggressive cutting.

My first Spyderco

I've been carrying this everyday for the last few weeks and needless to say, I am impressed. I've carried a few other well-known name brands, but this one is a standout for its lightweight (love the digital camo G-10 handles!) and superb compression-locking mechanism. There is absolutely no slop in the knife, and it is really fun to open and close (I've been experimenting with different techniques and they all seem to work well for me). The black DLC on the blade is tough, and though it can pick up "discolorations" from normal use, you only need to give it a good wipe down to return it to a nice, even color. The only negative is that the Paramilitary2 is hard-to-find at many retailers. Now I see why!

Daily carry knife that is everything I expected the knife to be coming from Spyderco...real sharp and high quality materials and craftsmanship. I love the grippy texture on the handles for handling the knife even though I expect it will wear on the pocket a bit. Orient the clip any way you want!

No brainer

A lot has been said about the Para II, I cannot add much too it. The compression lock is unique and much fun to play with. The action is very smooth and it is easy to flick with about every finger on your hand. For that prize it is a no brainer. For me this is a hard use knife. Cheap enough to beat it around and it puts up with it well. It doesn't have a lot of glam, just function. I like it way better that the Sage series on many levels: smoothness, lock, speed and fun. However, quality wise there are a few slips which I haven't seen on the Sage. The edge grind is poorly done, it doesn't go all the way to the coil which looks bad and needs to be re-worked. Also it had some nicks right out of the box. Fortunately this can be fixed and then it really shines.

Great!

For me, this is an upgrade from Tenactions and everything is just better. I'm from poland and tax made it more expensive, but anyway - worth it!

This knife is worth the hype!

After a long wait due to limited availability, I finally received the para2. There is absolutely no blade play and the weight of the knife is excellent for the size. The dlc coating looks stunning under the suns reflection, kind like a Black Sea of diamonds. Kinda cool. It does show wear after use though. Excellent steel, great ergonomics, good blade coating, fun locking mechanism, awesome digi camo g10. The only shortcoming I can think of is the clip, I wish it was deep carry.

Best knife for the price

Product came as expected. You cannot go wrong with this knife. Razor sharp out of the box, smooth action. Excellent feel in the hand. Not too hard to sharpen if you must. Will not regret buying this gem.

Best of the Best

I've had a Spyderco clipped to my pocket since 1992 and I have to say this may be the best knife they've ever made. All the issues I had with the Military are addressed in the paramilitary 2. If you could only have one Spydie this would be the one to have.

Outstanding

There is a reason this knife is out of stock and on back order. This is a quality blade. Sharp as a razor. Deployment is super fast you would think it had a spring but the design is flawless and makes for a great well rounded knife. Thank you knifecenter for a great price and great experience.

A must have!

Bought this knife on the recommendation of many other people. It is an excellent knife that come wicked sharp right from the box. I use this knife as an EBC/weak side defensive knife. It's the quality USA materials and construction you'd expect and I have no doubts that this knife will serve me well for years.

Black coating wears off quick, but love this knife

Love the compression lock and the digi g10 scales. Just surprised how quick the black coating on the blade and pocket clip wear off (no hard use). I don't see that kind of wear on Kershaw/ZT's, even with hard use.

Good knife. But......

Overall an excellent EDC. Size to weight ratio is tremendous. The knife is so well balanced and the ergonomics so well designed you almost forget its in your hand. The price point is unbelievable for how much knife you really get, which is on par with most Spyderco products. However, I am let down by the DLC blade coating as it scratched and scuffed by mere pocket carry before I had ever even used the knife. I was excited about the coating because I feel it was advertised as being quite wear resistant. It in fact did not hold up to its description. My advise is to just buy the satin version and save yourself the disappointment.
