Originally designed to condense the defining features of Spyderco's Military Model into a more compact format, the Paramilitary took the knife world by storm. Its second-generation version, the Paramilitary 2, reigns as one of the most popular folding knife designs ever created and continues to inspire an expanding family of variations. The lean, open-backed design, nested stainless steel liners, and high-strength Compression Lock mechanism of this highly evolved folder complement a full-flat-ground blade, an oversized Trademark Round Hole, and a four-position clip. Together, the synergy of these elements yields a truly exemplary cutting tool that has had a profound impact on modern knife design.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
G10 Handles
Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.
S45VN Stainless Steel
An evolution of the S30V family of steels, S45VN maintains the desired toughness of S35VN while achieving higher edge retention.
The knife itself is awesome, but I hated the placement of the pocket clip. It was at blade pivot end of the knife. I decided to switch it to the other end, which was a mistake. The pocket clip screws are pretty soft metal and the torx head stripped out. I had to send the knife back to Spyderco for new screws and have them change the position of the pocket clip. I sent a check for ten dollars to cover their shipping. If they charge me for new screws and a repair I will never buy another Spyderco.
My first spyderco was a used delica a friend gave me. That led me to buy a para3 then that led to the pm2. I've had 4 versions of the pm2, maxmet, magna cut, cruwear, & the full serrated. All have been awesome. I've lost one, gave another away as a gift, & currently using the fully serrated version. This one I bought because of Black Friday sale & will put away until I need it. Received order in 2 days! Highly recommend any PM2
