Bought this about a month ago - basciallty to see what a para 2 was like (without the associated price tag).
Of course, this is not a Para 2. This is a chinese interpretation of one... but the size, shape, lock-type is very similar.
Clearly marked on blade as "china".
Steel is also marked as VG10, but I couldn't confirm or deny the validity of this.
Handle advertised as countoured gG10; description was "teal", but looks kinda green to my eye.
Unlike Para 2, blade is on bearings, not bushings .. and is pretty slick.
Decent enough budget-knife, but just can't get along with the 'compression' lock which, to my mind, is simply another interpretation of a liner lock ... but on the top, not the bottom. (Of course YMMV).
Cut some paper, added a drop of oil.. so is essentially BNIB really. (Pretty nice box too, if you are bothered about such things)
£25 all in.
Thanks for looking.
