Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

[JSumm]

The liners themselves are pretty different. Full nested liners vs partial nested liners. The choil on the M2 is a full choil and the butt of the knife has been thinned up a bit. Feels similar in hand but different.

Another 2 weeks sans Military 2, but at least I'm starting to see more listings in Europe, maybe that's a good omen?

Congratulations to everyone involved in this evolution of the Military🪖
I’ve got my “Knife Funds” at the ready to get one. I really like the changes incorporated on the M2.

[tomsch1963]

I'm still holding my breath for this one. It will be the best purchase for this year I'm sure.

Seeing new productions as paramilitary 3, and chief, I'm pretty sure and I hope, they would go out with a Military 2 lightweight, linerless comp lock FRN and BD1N steel and not last with an affordable price.

I'm very happy with the paramilitary 3 light version and finally I paid my bill to the comp lock and now I feel ok using it

but I would pointed up Military classic it's the best knife I own in my collection it's a pity I don't care this one from years now because in Italy EVERY blade it's unlegal and this one it's really big and massive i prefer delica or para 3 size with this one I could try to convince police it'a an utility blade with a military stretch XL or native chief no excuses

Where did you find the postings in Europe?

I can’t wait for a PM2 Lightweight. A Military lightweight would be cool too.

Also curious…

So far only saw one on Lamnia for a several weeks already with their usual “available in June 2023”, which will be changed to “available in July 2023” and later to August automatically…

[horzuff]

It's not available anywhere of course, but at least it's listed

Cool, thanks!

I am perfectly content with the 6x Military 1's I have.

Do I need more? Nope.

Would I be tempted by a M2 sprint? Probably. I missed out on the M1 in Cruwear, and a potential S90V CF sprint will be another classic.

Do I want lightweight versions of the PM2 or M2? Nope.

I'm happy to watch from the sideline for now.

As a lefty, I never got a Military in digi-cam with black blade. But as I can readily manipulate a Para 2 RH compression lock, I eagerly await the new Military 2 in digi-cam with black blade. I especially love the 4-way pocket clip set-up. Let's bring it, baby! My gauche hand is empty and ready!!

I agree with your sentiments on wanting a more affordable package, however, I believe if this were to become a reality, with all of the price increases over the years, this may not be all that affordable, once released.

As-is, it's quite a feat that Spyderco were able to actually reduce the price for this model with such an overhaul in design.

I am not generally one to express civil disobedience;however, I truly enjoy carrying 4" folding knives and high-cap magazines, purely ... just because. ( I also do 65 in a 60 zone sometimes).

Well...no...but I wanted to express that I think carrying a 4" folding knife in your pocket is about equal to going 5 over on the highway. Here in the Seattle area we have ridiculous laws that are NEVER enforced, but make people feel good about themselves when they vote for them.

[Soulrack]

The aluminum handled PM2s were the lightweight PM2s IMO. I'm really excited to get my hands on a Spyderedge Military 2. I'm not a fan of the PM3 at all.

Thanks, Hans, for capturing my thoughts, though I am curious enough to see how a Thoroughly Modern Millie compares in hand with my Military Model x5.

Been wondering how long it would take for the expression of Thoroughly Modern Millie to appear.

[jwbnyc]

Just one Millie 2 WW?
