Description
SP81GPCBL2: C81GPCBL2 Paramilitary 2, SPY27, Cobalt Blue
Spyderco
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. This model features Spyderco's proprietary CPM-SPY27 stainless steel and gorgeous cobalt blue G10 handles. 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.

One of the Classics
I'll be honest. I have never been a fan of the hump with the Spydie hole so I had never bought one of these but I was convinced by all of the articles describing this as one of the knives you should have. Now that I own one I can see why this is such a great knife. It comes sharp. It is easy to open and gives you four options for the clip. It has the strong compression lock and ergonomically the handle just fits my hand. There is grippy jimping on the back of the blade. Fit, finish and quality is outstanding. It is made in America so you are employing Americans. Depending on blade material one can get a Paramilitary 2 for the mid $100s. It is truly a classic.
