Para Military2 Info

#1

Post by TazKristi »

One of the challenges of making a great product is making enough of it. The Para Military2 is one of our most popular designs and is in very high demand. To meet this need, the Para2 remains at the top of our US factory’s priority list and we have done everything possible to increase the volume of our production. These photos, taken this morning, show our skilled workers assembling Para2s as part of that effort. If you’re in line for a Para2, we apologize for the wait and thank you for your patience. Please know that we’re working as hard as we can to meet the demand for this knife and remain committed to making its quality and performance worth the wait. Thank you again for your confidence and patience.

Cool. Those wouldn't happen to be the elusive green sprint para's by any chance?

I like the factory pictures. Would like to see more behind the scenes photos like these.

Thanks Taz, I appreciate the update. I purchased my first one a week ago at my local hunting shop. First time I handled one and just had to have it. I understand now what everyone is after, it's a great knife at a great price

Half of the fun is the wait. If we got everything that we wanted, when we wanted, we would get bored :)

The Para 2 really does live up to the hype. My favorite knife by far. With such high demand and limited production capacity, I really respect your guys integrity in A)Keeping the price down, and B)keeping the quality as high as it is for this exceptional knife.
Awesome!

It's really nice to get an update that upping the supply of Para 2's is a priority. I really like the pictures of them being assembled and can't wait to pick one up when I see one available. The incredible quality my first two Spyderco knives have shown really assures me the wait will have been worth it. Until then I'll enjoy my Tenacious and new Sage 1.
