The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Knife Dark Earth Brown G-10 (Satin S35-VN) C81GPBN2 is now available at BHQ and CS. This is for newbies like me who missed out on the first run.

This is the continuation of the Motang distributor-exclusive ParaMilitary2 Earth Brown G10 Handle and Satin Plain S35VN blade.

Thanks for the info and pic RamZar!

You cannot complete your PM2 collection without it. :D That, is really the only reason to get one IMHO...it's my "ugliest" PM2 and the steel does not do much for me, practically, compared to the others.

If you like brown or want to complete a collection as noted above. The steel difference between the S30V and this is negligible. I have never found any practical difference between S30V and S35VN in use or sharpening.

I love this one and to me if s35vn is treated right it outstanding.my hinderer holds a edge great and gets a nice mirror polish.I would like this brown pm2 with a dlc coated blade that would look sweet like the new tenacious.this pm2 will impress you it will cut like a dream and hold a great edge.

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the answers.
Yes there is something strange - fascinating in this color.
Reminds me of military service, long ago.
We had green trousers and sometimes you got a brown one.
Made you some kind of "outstanding".

For that price I think I will pass. Need to save up for the Ti Millie KW exclusive. :)

Yup!!!
I have it on a Pro Tech TR-3 and a couple of ZTs and I find the same thing. Great steel!!

BHQ just updated price on the brown para 2. $144.00. Best price I have seen on one for a while.
FYI

FYI, Massdrop currently has these for $137.99 shipped to US residents.

I got mine from BHQ just before Christmas, when they dropped the price to $144. I think S35VN is actually an easier to sharpen steel than S30V (that may be totally in my head though ) and I like the brown/tan G10 better than any of the standard colors, so it was an easy choice for me to spend the extra $20.

No regrets so far!

For any of you guys with brown scales looking for something different... I have a blurple set in great condition that I would like to trade straight across for brown factory scales. Email or PM works great! New here, but lots of references over on ADVRider. Thanks!

Hi there, welcome to the forum. Unfortunately no buy, sell, trade allowed here. Lots of good options for that though including blade forums and USN.
