                  This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates to the Schedule
13D, dated January 26, 1996 (the "Schedule 13D") filed by Jonathan M. Spiller
in connection with the shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of Armor Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the

                  This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule
13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated February 6, 1996,
by further amending the disclosures contained in Items 1, 5 and 6.

ITEM 1.           SECURITY AND ISSUER

                  Paragraph 1 of Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby deleted
in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

                  This Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Statement") relates to
the shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of
Armor Holdings, Inc. (the "Issuer"). The executive offices of the Issuer are
located at 13386 International Parkway, Jacksonville, Florida 32218.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

                  Paragraph (a) and (b) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby
deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

                  Mr. Spiller is the beneficial owner of 646,664 shares of
Common Stock. The 646,664 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr.
Spiller include options exercisable within 60 days to purchase 474,000 shares.
The 646,664 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by
Mr. Spiller constitute approximately 4.0% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer. In addition, 43,541 shares of Common Stock are owned by
Mr. Spiller's minor children. As custodian for his children, Mr. Spiller has
the power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition
of the shares of Common Stock owned by such children. In his capacity as
custodian for his minor children, Mr. Spiller may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock that are owned by such children.
Mr. Spiller disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock owned
by such children. The 690,205 shares of Common Stock collectively owned by Mr.
Spiller and his minor children constitute approximately 4.2% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

thereof:

                  Any dividends payable on the 646,664 shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by Mr. Spiller individually, and any proceeds from the sale
of such shares, will be paid to Mr. Spiller. Any dividends payable on the
43,541 shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Spiller's minor children, which may
be deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Spiller, and any proceeds from the
sale of such shares, will be paid to Mr. Spiller in his capacity as custodian
for his minor children. No other persons have the right to receive or the power
to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the
shares owned by Mr. Spiller and his minor children.

                  Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting

                  On July 30, 1997, the Issuer completed an underwritten public
offering of 4,000,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $10.125 per

"Offering"). As part of the Offering, on July 30, 1997, the Buyer completed
the sale of 495,859 shares of Common Stock as part of the underwriters'
over-allotment option (the "Buyer Sale"). Pursuant to the terms of the

                           Letter Agreement dated January 18, 1996

Dear Jonathan:

                 The following shall set forth the understanding that we have
reached with respect to certain tax consequences that may arise in connection
with carrying out the provisions of the Letter Agreement among us, dated
January 18, 1996 (the "Agreement"). Unless otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in
the Agreement.

                 We have agreed as follows:

                 1. In the event that KFH sells Common Shares, and as a result
                    of such sale, Spiller is entitled to receive a portion of
                    the net proceeds thereof or a stock certificate
                    representing a portion of such Common Shares, all as more
                    fully set forth in the Agreement, Spiller shall hold KFH
                    harmless and indemnify KFH for any and all capital gains or
                    other tax liabilities assessed against KFH by the Internal
                    Revenue Service or by any state or local taxing authority
                    (a "Taxing Authority") including, but not limited to,
                    interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys' fees and related
                    disbursements and other expenses incurred by KFH in
                    connection with such tax

                     Liabilities"), which are attributable to such sale
                     by KFH of the Common Shares. All such Tax
                     Liabilities shall be paid by Spiller to KFH within
                     ten (10) days of the date on which KFH is required
                     to pay any such Tax Liability and after notice by
                     KFH to Spiller.
