There could be a Paramilitary 2S
There could be a Paramilitary 2S which would share the same grip of the Paramilitary 2 but the blade is diagonally cut down (reverse tanto) to a length of 3.00'' which is great for those who likes the handle of the Paramilitary 2 but their knife laws outlaws knives above 3.00''.

Make us a prototype out of one of your PM2's so we can see what it will look like...
Re: There could be a Paramilitary 2S
That's a great idea. No need for Slyderco to do it since it's so easy. Since the PM2 blade is ready under 3.5", you won't have much work to do.Ncmiked wrote:Make us a prototype out of one of your PM2's so we can see what it will look like...

You could always mod one to be shorter yourself. I did that on an endura once with sandpaper and some patience. It came out pretty good.

Seems like a good plan. Can't sit around waiting for Spyderco to do everything you want.Ncmiked wrote:Make us a prototype out of one of your PM2's so we can see what it will look like...

2. negotiate on the price and buy it
3. regrind your PM2 to a snub-nosed config as you describe
4. Post pictures in the "Show Us Yer Mods" thread here

Re: There could be a Paramilitary 2S
you could always hunt down a yojimbo 1. They were specifically designed to be under 3 inches. also kahr arm delica is 2.5 inch. And although it's not a spyderco product, i feel the Emerson "Snubby" is worth mentioning, if you live somewhere with blade length restrictions.

Re: There could be a Paramilitary 2S
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what the Para-Military 3 (as it's been called) is going to have: 3" blade in a full size handle? I believe it's also planned to be offered in both G-10 and FRN versions.

Re: There could be a Paramilitary 2S
That's my impression also. The PM3 would be smaller all around.Mikael Andersson wrote:I think that it will have a smaller handle than the Paramilitary 2.jabba359 wrote:Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what the Para-Military 3 (as it's been called) is going to have: 3" blade in a full size handle?

They should call this new PM2-esque knife the "Puny Para". :p

Re: There could be a Paramilitary 2S
Ah, bummer. I love the size of the PM2 handle. It fits my hand really well.Mikael Andersson wrote:I think that it will have a smaller handle than the Paramilitary 2.jabba359 wrote:Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what the Para-Military 3 (as it's been called) is going to have: 3" blade in a full size handle?

and dont forget to ditch the spydiehole and add a flipper and the rainbow colors Sal!
Re: There could be a Paramilitary 2S
Mikael, I think you're on to something with this one! But mate, seems like you're taking a bit on. Will you be lengthening the blade as with the other thread you started, then shortening it as you described here? Will the new knife you are modelling have a long and short blade (perhaps your new design may also incorporate the original blade) or will you model two separate knives? Do you have any preference towards a particular blade steel?

Re: There could be a Paramilitary 2S
Triple blade PM. Long blade, short blade, and original, all in the same handle that is very ergonomic.Bloke wrote:Mikael, I think you're on to something with this one!
