The compression lock is not like a backwards liner lock. The compression lock actually has a spot milled into the blade that it interacts with, unlike a liner lock that just springs into the way of the blade and you move it out of the way to close. Compression is stronger than your typical liner lock.
Ha ! This is absolutely a knife everyone should own (Paramilitary 2 *or* Para3, depending on hand size). I can still remember the time that these were *So Hard* to obtain because they sold out quickly & Spyderco didn't have their factory outlet expanded yet. They were like a Hinderer or Sebenza. Always out of stock. And this was just the standard black or digital camo s30v version. Now they are readily available, which is great. I still have a small stash of 3 or 4 new in box O.G s30v Paramilitary 2's from them. Never had any issue with my very first one.. after years & years of use. It's a knife that will last over a decade. My blade has shrunk a bit from sharpening & the DLC is worn nicely.. but it still performs flawlessly with s30v. Great knife for sure !! I always recommend these & some pivot lube if someone has a $150-200 budget (spyderco used Militec-1 lubricant on it's U.S.A manufactured knives in the mid 00's.. so they probably still do. Great lubricant. Especially for a PM2.)
Very interesting! I didn’t know they were so rare when they first came out. I agree, as time goes on and I handle more and more different knives, I still think the PM2 is one of the best designs ever. Looks wise it’s not for everyone, but you can’t deny that it’s just built for work. Amazing ergos, perfect blade shape. Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤠
@@doodysdaggers Yeah man. In the mid 00's.. they were constantly Out of Stock. It was crazy. Very frustrating. I ended up buying x2 digital & x2 black (one satin and one DLC of each model) when I could because they literally couldn't keep up with demand. Now I have many different versions but I always carry one variation. I'm sure you know.. never had a failure on you. Always ready to work. Stiff lockup.

by far the most classy PM2 I have ever seen. Beautiful mod.
spyderco legitimately has the best factory production heat treat whether it's 8cr13mov or s90v and I'd challenge anyone to find another production brand that does that better and more consistently than spyderco, awesome video man! I've been a Para 3 guy for a minute but now I think I need to get one of these..also the shaman..I should definitely get a shaman
Get the Shaman. You won't regret it. I've got the standard S30V with black G10 and I absolutely love it. I needed to work on it first but when I got it working, it has become my favorite folding knife in my collection.
Yuuuup! Fully agree. Imo there are a handful of absolutely MANDATORY Spydercos every collector should have. You HAVE to have the classic Spyderco, the Delica or Endura. You HAVE to have the venerable PM-2 or a Military. You HAVE to have the best reasonably sized and overbuilt hard use knife, the manix-2. And finally, you HAVE to have another classic, either the native, the Sage or the chapparel. From there it comes down to specifics of one's tastes. Spyderco has so many greats. You can just go wild! Once you have the "Big 4" you can just waller in the goodness!
I picked up two today. One is Black G10 and the other is digital camo G10. I have other models from Spyderco, but these are the first PM's for me. Very impressed. Great video!
Just to help solidify ur point on how awesome the pm2 is, the other liner locks use the pushing plate itself to hold the blade open and to collapse the blade, the compression lock doesnt , it actually allows a bigger piece of metal to hold the blade open. Which proves that its safer. Great huh? I love mine also.
Nice customization. My first PM2 arrived today, CPM Cruwear with canvas micarta. Being in Australia, the supplies are limited as getting folder's through customs can be risky for the individual, the state I live in requires folders to need two hands to open...
@@blakeolson2036 Mine is loose, free falls and the detent is a little light IMO. The pivot I can tighten, the detent might take a bit of playing with, or I could get used to it.
I ran into your channel and subscribed. I’m relatively new enthusiast, collecting for almost 3 years. But I jumped in deep water. I think my collection is around 135 knives. I’m what you would call a “collection collector”. That is, if there is a particular knife or designer that I really like, I purchase several. I love the PM2. I picked up 8 each with different steels. My favorite knife maker and knife to date is the Chaves Redencion. I own 10 Chaves. At any rate, I’ll be watching.👍🤘
Awesome man, I really appreciate the sub and comment! It’s always great to meet another enthusiast. Wow that’s quite a few PM2s! That’s one of the great things about them, so much variety in blade steels. Which is your favorite, can you pick? I’ve never handled a Chaves, but damn I’ve had my eye on them for a long time. One day. 🤠
@@doodysdaggers I really like the looks of what Knife Joy does with their exclusives. The orange and OD green G10 scales. Also, the SMKW carbon fiber exclusives were pretty sweet. I picked up the red “lava flow” model. I passed on the green and blue, before I bought my 1st PM2, which was the lava flow. Now, regret passing on those.
I’m pretty much the same. For sure Monday through Friday I always carry my pm2. I rotate a second knife. I think I’m going to keep mine stock. It does everything I need it to.
Haha good, I did my job! You’ll love it man. But the wharncliff Paramilitary 2 is really badass too.. you can get them at Cutlery Shoppe. Just something to consider, both are fantastic. 🤘🤠 cutleryshoppe.com/spyderco-c81gpwcorbk2-para-military-2-3-44-cts-xhp-black-dlc-finish-wharncliffe-blade-orange-g-10-handle-cutlery-shoppe-exclusive/
I just received my DLC coated Wharncliffe CTS-XHP blade with Orange G-10 scales. A Cutlery Shoppe exclusive version. Oh and it came from them with flawless centering and pivot action. I also have a blacked out S45vn Para 3. I think I need to buy another knife for a while unless someone starts selling a Wharncliffe Para3
Dude that’s freakin rad!! I didn’t even know there was a wharncliff version. I just looked it up, it looks so nice. Might have to try to get one of those soon..
I just ordered a CPM-M4 PM2. Originally I ordered a magnacut Hogue deka but I guess the sale I was buying from oversold and I didn't buy quick enough so I started looking around for knife models and steels I wanted to try and just do happen SMKW had what they called jungle wear fat carbon PM2 with M4 and that checks 2 box's for me.
My blade bounces off the stop like that and it's annoying, I'm used to the Manix which snaps shut and doesn't bounce. I can avoid it with a light close and quick lock press, like a button, but it's still annoying, I like the PM 2 but love my Manix 2's.
IMHO anyone with a vague interest should definitey buy a PM2. As their first Spydrco. Becasue every company has a signature product/model. For Spyderco it's the PM22. For Benchmade it's the 940 Osbourne... ...from there it's up to the us where we go from the PM2...do we stick with Spydrco and buy more? Or do you end up hating the design for whatever the reason?? :) Everyone has their list of wants in a folder's design. For me one of the items is having a "full metal linder" and maybe a metal back spacer. Soemthing overlooked by many "knife heads" or guys like me with a casual interest. Why most Benchmade knives dn't interest me. ..besides their high asking prices for what I feel is a "lesser" brand because most models lack "metal liners/ful". ...e.g. the Bugout...obvious flex in the scales...looks cheap...is there still flex in the alu scales on standard 940's? Shrug...
I’m with you. I want to like BM but I just can’t. I’ve tried five or so of their knives and I didn’t love any of them. And then there is the prices… geez.
Just got my first Spyderco today, been ogling the Para 2 Crucarta for quite some time and finally found one at a fairly good price. DAMN the action on this thing, straight outta the box, silky smooth. Blade centering is spot on and the factory edge is better than expected by far.
Awesome man congratulations! I’m sure there will be more to come. Once you get a taste you keep coming back 😉 Spyderco consistently has some of the sharpest factory edges I have seen
@@doodysdaggers This was supposed to be "the" one and done knife, but I have a sneaking suspicion you're right. Your Channel just started popping on my feed, great content!
I KNOW they're great knives... but I absolutely HATE that duck bill blade shape. So I bought a Smock for my first Spyderco and love everything about it. Removed the 2nd detent, putting Skiff bearings in. Then probably Metonboss frag Ti scales and custom clip. Nice video tho.

Yea I'm VERY picky 😂 but if I'm going to spend a couple hundred dollars (or more) on a knife, then I expect to like the basic design/shape right out of the box before I modify it. Keep up the informative vids man. To each their own.
Where do you buy your knives from? Back when I was collecting, I’d go to Chesapeake Knife & Tool, but they closed down. The nearest shop to my house is over thirty minutes away, and they’re super expensive. I got a PM2 from Amazon, which I found out is a terrible place to buy from due counterfeits. I inspected it thoroughly, and am 99% sure it’s legit. Anyway, do you have any online retailer suggestions?
@@doodysdaggers Awesome! I lucked out and ordered my first one yesterday. It’s one of those new 15V PM2’s. I can’t wait to deck it out like you have yours, but a little different. Thanks for posting this video! The button and the lanyard hole plugs are badass ideas!
Your knife looks sick I think I'm sold I been stuck on microtech am my halo 6 buy I think I'm digging Manul life an u can open quietly if needed .what other knives do you favor
Thanks man! The Halo knives are awesome, I’ve never gotten to handle one since they are illegal where I live. I’m jealous! I’d really recommend the PM2, or the Manix 2. Both very good work knives, or for light EDC you could go with the Para 3 since it’s a little smaller.
Actually man, the compression lock is a lot stronger than a liner lock because it uses the crossbar as a standard liner. Lock does not have a crossbar.
Is it new? Mine took a while to break in well. It just keeps getting smoother and smoother. You can also loosen the pivot screw a little bit. Sometimes if you want drop shut you may have a very little blade wiggle

I love my PM2. You took yours to the next level. Looks great.
I recently bought a leather, belt holster/scabbard for my 4 PM2’s allowing for handy carry & quick-draw. Luv the knives, luv the holster.
Hey that’s cool, I’ve ever seen those! Where’d you get it? I may need one
@@doodysdaggers , I got mine thru AliExpress.
I have the PM2 I love it, I have the camo G10 with black coated s45vn . I think the only thing I’d change is the clip. I love the grip.
I have the pm2 and the pm-3 and I carry the three as the blade is just a more friendly blade size-wise
Yeah it definitely is! And you hardly ever need a longer blade
That CME is definitely the way to go. Great video.

Have your tried the PM2 Ultra from Blades We Love? Button lock mod :)
I haven’t! Always wanted to though

No, it just takes time to break in. When I first got it, it was stiff. But be patient and it will get glassy smooth like mine! 🤠

Sick merch!
Thanks man!!
What can it do beyond Endura? How heavy, bulk, in pocket.
I’d say about the same as far as cutting performance
The S90V version is a real slicer. I'm in the process of tricking it out!
I’ve just bought a „new“ pm2 with s30v, is the S45VN that much better than the s30v?
They’re pretty similar in the edge retention department

Thanks man! The Halo knives are awesome, I’ve never gotten to handle one since they are illegal where I live. I’m jealous! I’d really recommend the PM2, or the Manix 2. Both very good work knives, or for light EDC you could go with the Para 3 since it’s a little smaller.
@@doodysdaggers illegal where I live too weird I can carry my 1911 10 mm but I can Cary an auto knive laws make no sense anyway take care bro
Am getting one !
Do it!! You’ll love it!
who makes that bigger line lock safety you have in there?
The thing on the compression lock? It’s called the CME, it’s made by ocd-4-edc. It’s to make the lock easier to use
@@doodysdaggers wow, that upgrade is way over priced ....
Just bought a crucarrta pm2
Lucky!
Actually man, the compression lock is a lot stronger than a liner lock because it uses the crossbar as a standard liner. Lock does not have a crossbar.
How did you get yours to drop close so easy I have a pm2 with copper flytanium scales and it won’t drop at all
Is it new? Mine took a while to break in well. It just keeps getting smoother and smoother. You can also loosen the pivot screw a little bit. Sometimes if you want drop shut you may have a very little blade wiggle
@@doodysdaggers yeah it’s pretty new thanks for the tip!

Polish your washers

I've got the same setup

KPL
The only thing not changed is the blade
Great knife platform if you’re a collector, and/or a light duty edc user. Horrible knife if you use your knives hard and like ergonomics.
In Australia they are almost $400, how is that a reasonable price
It’s not
You Australian's pay mad money for everything.😂
@@brianthompson9485but kangaroos r freeeeee 😂
I like Ganzo
Maxamet pm2s available atm.
Oh yeah? Where at?
@@doodysdaggers knife center. I got mine from an Australian distributor though.
@@false-set okay sweet! Thanks for the heads up!
I recently got a PM2 in Maxamet. I love it.
You left the picture in the middle of the screen during the video
Are those flytanium scales?
Yep!
@@doodysdaggers thank you sir
@@hoss4876 no problem! I really recommend their brass lanyard tube stoppers too, I think they’re only around $20. Unless you’re a lanyard guy 🤠
@@doodysdaggers I probably will, unless I can find a copper one.
@@hoss4876 I actually had copper on this knife before I got the titanium. It looked really good but holy crap it was soooo heavy!
lol, did you tattoo over cuss words on your knuckles?
Not quite, on my left hand it used to say “dumb” and I’m in the process of covering it up. Drunk tattooing isn’t always a great idea. 😉
do not buy one if you haven't seen it in real life, they're comically large.
Too bulky
intro almost made me have a seizure
Where did you get the quick release, the black small thing? Thanks
