Was for the army, became for civilians
The Para-Military 2 model is a modification of the Military knife only in a smaller size, which brought it out of the category of edged weapons and greatly simplified carrying it in a pocket in an urban environment. However, the design has not undergone any special changes, so it is not difficult to recognize the original army version. And, as you know, what is done for the army is not bad by definition. The quality, of course, is beyond praise, but the cost upsets. The price still bites, and is not suitable for every low-cost, especially considering that the knife does not have any breakthrough technologies. Looks like just a brand surcharge.
Really big ring
The features include a wide ring on the butt, which serves to open the blade. Its diameter is as much as 14 mm, i.e. the indicator is one of the highest among folding knives of the EDC class. This was done to increase the comfort of opening: gloves, dirt, extreme situations - nothing will prevent you from quickly finding the ring and pulling it up, bringing the knife into working condition.
Cuts perfectly
The cutting properties of the model are affected by the shape of the blade and straight slopes from the butt. The blade is best for cutting. Moreover, almost any materials, from bread to tin, given the high hardness of the blade (60 HRC). At the same time, there is an additional thumb stop to better control the knife during power cutting. Of course, he will cope with both punctures and cutting, but it is the cut that the blade can be considered a leader in among competitors.
About the spring - separately
An important design nuance is the CompressionLock blade lock. Its principle of operation is based on a spring-loaded die that blocks the blade shank. The system is convenient, opens and closes gently, you can bring the knife into working condition even with a sharp movement of the brush. But reliability is also in question, because the spring can burst or weaken. and then the blade will close, having lost its support.
