About this item

  • An Improved Classic - Undeniably one of Spyderco's most popular and in-demand designs, the Para Military 2 distills the world-class performance of our legendary Military Model into a more compact, Pocket-Friendly package.
  • Superior Quality - We kept the same high-performance full flat-ground blade but we've also lengthened the blade's tip and added additional surface jimping to both the spine and finger coil.
  • A Secure Grip - The G-10 handle is narrowed at the end improving the Ergonomics. The handle and blade have been profile thinner; removing uncomfortable angles when in the closed position.
  • Easy-To-Use - The Para Military 2 features extreme strength, reliability, and ease of use of our patented Compression Lock mechanism and versatility of a 4-position pocket clip.
  • Dependable -Refinements to overall construction may not be drastic but from the G-10 textured handle to the steel full flat blade, everything is sharper, smoother and guaranteed to provide performance and user comfort.

The Para Military 2

Crafted for Life

Considered by many the perfect everyday carry cutting tool, the Para Military 2 distills all the proven performance characteristics of the iconic Military Model into a more compact package.

It then enhances the platform with the addition of Spyderco’s patented Compression Lock, which uses the handle’s nested stainless steel liners, the stop pin, and an upward-facing ramp on the blade’s tang to create a high-strength, extremely user-friendly locking mechanism.

A versatile, four-position clip and large lined lanyard tube complement the blade’s fully accessible Round Hole to allow a full range of carrying positions and fully ambidextrous one-handed opening. Hands down one of Spyderco’s most popular and in-demand models, the Para Military 2 is available with a variety of different blade steels, finishes, and handle materials.

Product Description

Spyderco Para-Military2 Black Blade ~ C81GBK2 STATE OF THE ART MSRP $209.95 length overall 8.281 " (210 mm) blade length 3.438 " (87 mm) blade steel CPM S30V length closed 4.812 ", (122 mm) cutting edge 3.078 " (78 mm) weight 3.9 oz (111 g) blade thickness .141 " (3.5 mm) handle material G-10 Spyderco Para Military2 Black Blade The Spyderco Para-Military2 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-Military2 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars My main squeeze now
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2019
Good stuff:

- Very sharp out of the box. I could've (albeit with some discomfort) shaved my face with it.
- Great ergonomics, with a few options for holding it in different situations
- Open and close action is effortless, Spydie flip for days.
- Compression lock is sooo nice
- Very slicey blade geometry, but thicker stock for durable spine
- Acute tip, great for stabbing stuff
- Very grippy G10
- Durable construction (full metal liners, G10, etc.)
- The S30V is a quite nice steel
- Flawless blade centering and tuning
- As big as it gets without getting cumbersome in the pocket

Meh stuff:
- The tip seems fragile, makes me fearful to do certain things with it.
- Edge is a smidge chippy if you accidentally glance something like a rock
- DLC coating and G10 scales show mild wear readily. I personally think it adds character, but others may disagree.

Bad stuff:

- One screw in the pocket clip was tightened down way too hard. It ended up stripping before I could move the clip to tip up carry; it took convincing to finally move the clip.
