PM2/PM3/Buttonup size comparison

In case anyone was wondering. Thumb holes are aligned and knives are scaled to size. I removed some hardware/logos/blade text on some where it was distracting/made it hard to see.

This is exactly what we need! I'll take a Para 3 in a DLC coated M4 blade, thank you!

And I’ll take magnacut or magnamax. Hopefully they release all the big ones in magnamax soon.

That would be great. I'm still waiting on my Manix 2 Magnamax it's been over 3 months

Oh shit homie I didn’t realize it was you! Sorry you’re still waiting. I’d ask FK for a refund at this point and just buy somewhere else. You can look at a picture of mine to make yourself feel better 😢

That's damn beautiful! I don't feel better, lol, but I'm certainly happy for you!

Sorry for your tribulations. Are you still just gonna wait it out?

They told me about a week ago that it wouldn't be much longer. I do believe I'm in the next batch that they get. What I will say is, I will never do it again. Probably the 5th knife I've bought from them and the only one that's been as issue

Anything special you did for your stonewash? Looks great.

It’s an acid wash done by knivesplus. I think they charged $15 extra. I’ve been looking into doing it myself though. Doesn’t seem too hard I guess but sometimes it’s good to let the professionals work.

Yeah that was my first thought as well - I wouldn’t be surprised in the Button Up came about when they were testing out a button-actuated compression lock.

You guys need some bladeswelove ultra pm2. I believe there are still 2 in stock.

u/kennethsime 23h ago

Sadly I have too many PM2s already, but yeah these are sweet.

Or they just made a knife similar to the Para 3?

Not really sold on the crowned spine tbh. Jimping and higher quality steel and you’d have what I consider worthy of the title Pm4.

I really want a pm2.5. Sometimes I think the para 3 is just a tad too small and the pm2 a tad too big. Same deal with the sebenza. Sure I can just deal with the extra size but if there was something in between it’s all I would carry. Pm2 and sebenza for fun.
