The Spyderco Para Military 2 was released in 2010 with several changes over the classic version. Implementation of a new Bushing Pivot System generates fluid action and more consistent manufacturing tolerances. The G-10 handle is narrowed at the end improving ergonomics. The handle and blade have been profile thinner to eliminate hard angles when in the pocket in a closed position. It features a Compression Lock and an ambidextrous-friendly four way clip which carries tip-up/tip-down, left/right-hand that rests deep in a pocket.

The Para Military 2 has a high-performance CPM S30V full flat-ground blade but we've lengthened the blade's tip and added additional surface jimping to both the spine and finger choil, then we coated it in non-reflective DLC (Diamond-Like Coating). Screw-together handle components, the pocket clip and the blade are coated in black to inhibit the folder's reflective qualities.

Overall construction refinements are not drastic or even visible to the eye, but from the G-10 textured handle to the CPM S30V steel full flat black blade, everything is sharper, smoother and guaranteed to provide performance and user comfort.

Made in Golden, Colorado U.S.A.

Ground Rules:

To enter,
  1. Comment down below saying that you are in (or similar)
  2. One entry per household. Duplicate entries mean you get disqualified from the contest, same if I discover you have multiple profiles.
Main prizes are limited to members with paid subscriptions, or registered users with a registration date prior to November 2, 2018 - this is to combat people registering multiple free accounts to stack the deck.

If you have a profile with a registration prior to Nov 2 2018 and ARE NOT a paid member, you must a letter in a stamped envelope to

BFC
921 Barret Ave
Louisville KY 40204​

Shipping will be covered in the US & Canada only. You are welcome to enter if you live outside North America, however you'll be responsible for shipping charges, and I have no idea if customs will allow the item in your country; if it's seized, it's on you.

Bonus prizes will be open to any member with a registration date prior to November 2, 2018, no letter required.

If you are a winner, you will be contacted via PM and the email address listed in your profile so it'd behoove you to make sure you have your profile info up to date. If you don't have a paid subscription, you'll be contacted by the email listed in your profile so again, make sure it's updated.

Make sure your profile contact information is up to date! If you win a physical prize, I'll need contact you to get your address for shipping!

CONTEST ENDS SATURDAY APRIL 6, at MIDNIGHT EASTERN, so enter before 12PM / 23:59:59! Winners will be drawn sometime on Sunday, probably around 5-6pm. The winning post(s) will be chosen by random.org and I will be announcing the winners via a YouTube livestream at http://www.youtube.com/therealbladeforums

Vote for next week's giveaway above!

Giveaways are determined by you guys voting in the poll in each thread; we do family rules: 'everyone gets firsts before anyone gets seconds' - every manufacturer gets a chance to have their donation given away before they go back in rotation. Manufacturers who donated multiple goodies: Kizer, Boker, Buck, Spyderco, Benchmade, Ka-Bar, Cold Steel, White River, Himalayan Imports, etc - so once they have been picked, they won't go back into voting until everyone else gets a chance. We've finally gotten through all the donors for the first batch, after next week we will go back to you guys voting!

IT PAYS TO WATCH THE LIVE STREAM: Random prizepacks have been awarded including a Benchmade Ambush, SOG Powerlock pliers, a Himalayan Imports Kukri, Boker Neck Tomahawk, SOG Bad Axe, stickers, hats, an ESEE Arrowhead, a BFC W&S patch, and more - who knows what I'll toss at a winner next week?

Live Stream giveaway every Sunday at 5PM Eastern - http://www.youtube.com/TheRealBladeForums
