BHQ Paramilitary 2 CPM M4 Exclusive.

[Able Dog]

Has Blade HQ ever done an exclusive before? If this is their first they're hitting it out of the park.

This is their first Spyderco exclusive, but they have sold a lot of previous exclusive models from other manufacturers.

[xinam]

Looks good, might have to give this a try...

[ohcyclist]

Dare I ask about the timeline for this?

I would say be ever vigilant if you want to acquire one.

[bearfacedkiller]

I hope they ordered enough! :D :eek:

This might get crazy.

[wrdwrght]

Grail achieved. BHQ, please commission same set up in a Millie too. It will also sell faster than the speed of light.

And, perhaps an M4 Manix2 with jade G10?

[Tsa1]

Hopefully they ordered about 1500 of these bad boys. Limit one per address and we should all get one.

Knifeworks is going to have to drop the price of their exclusive. I'm thinking $199 lol

[Brock O Lee]

Not the same ole same ole para2..

We've taken the Para2 platform and tweaked it slightly to bring you a unique knife that you'll be proud to have in your pocket or display case, while keeping the cost reasonable.

"This next generation Spyderco Para-Military knife features a number of inspiring changes. The revised handle has a thinner profile at the end to improve the ergonomics and the ambidextrous four-way reversible pocket clip rests deeper in the pocket as well. The blade has an elongated profile, with an increased cutting edge, finger choil and thumb ramp. Implementation of a new Bushing Pivot System generates fluid action and more consistent manufacturing tolerances. The Para-Military still has the solid, confidence inspiring Compression Lock on the handle spine. Lastly, the size of the lanyard hole has been generously increased, giving the user more carry options. This all results in more than just change for the sake of change, it's a real improvement on an already great knife."

The marketing blurb above is similar to the one on Spyderco's catalog for the current Para2:

I think it explains the improvements going from Para1 to Para2, not 'new' improvements to the existing Para2.

But you had my attention there for a moment! :D

At $150 I'm in too, heehaa!

[Molle Ninja]

Whoa. Game on.

[WireEdge Roger]

Love it! Lots of win there. $150 is a nice surprise too.

[Tdog]

I'm definitely in. Love the similar Halpern scales on my S110v Mule. Very clean looking.

The KW, as we know is limited to 1200. I am not seeing a production limit on any of the info for the BHQ. I wonder if that is impacting the price difference.

AFAIK, runs go up to 1200 max. That's the limit but subsequent runs can be requested.

I haven't purchased from BHQ in years, my other dealers esp KW always has them beat in price. For once, they got something that I will buy.

I could care less about BHQ price vs KW. I flipping love natural G10 and could take or leave CF. Think how great it will look with patina!!

[Johnnie1801]

Wow, great news to wake up to :D This has win win written all over it :D

I wasn't blown away by the KW exclusive but this one hits all the right notes (blade steel, handle and price). Just wondering if the knife in the BHQ photo is a production sample or a computer generated image? If it's a production proto then it could be hitting the streets soon :D

Yep..you are correct..I edited my post.

Pricing does matter a great deal to a lot of people so we talk about price..the price difference between the KW and BHQ M4 Para2's is $90..that's not small potatoes..

Other than the CF/G10 handles they are the same knife..is CF really that much more expensive than G10?

[twinboysdad]

I might have poorly conveyed my thoughts. I have a limited knife budget, so price matters, I just meant between CF and natural G10 I really like natty G10 a whole lot better. It is a Grail scale for me and I would by one of every model in that configuration- money willing

[Joris Mo]

This is a grail PM2, I've been wanting to get ghost jade handles made for a PM2 for awhile and have been waiting for an m4 one as well.. :D

[Doc Dan]

Now for a Military made just like this :)
