SP81GPCMO2: C81GPCMO2 Paramilitary 2 Digital Camo
Spyderco
Available here at the KnifeCenter is the Digital Camo G10 Paramilitary 2 folding combat knife. Why change something if it works? Because, at Spyderco, they practice the principle of C.Q.I. - Constant Quality Improvement. If they can refine and improve the ergonomics or cutting performance of an established model, they do it.
The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 tactical folding knife has several changes over the classic version. The G-10 handle is narrowed at the end improving the ergonomics. The handle and blade have been profiled thinner; removing uncomfortable angles when in the closed position. It features a Compression Lock and an ambidextrous-friendly four way clip which carries tip-up/tip-down, left/right-hand and rests deeper in a pocket. They kept the same high-performance CPM-S45VN full flat-ground blade but they've also lengthened the blade's tip and added additional surface jimping to both the spine and finger choil. Implementation of a new Bushing Pivot System generates fluid action and more consistent manufacturing tolerances. Larger lanyard gives more options for carry.
Refinements to overall construction may not be drastic or even visible to the eye but from the G-10 textured handle to the CPM-S45VN steel full flat satin blade, everything is sharper, smoother and guaranteed to provide performance and user comfort.

Spyderco Para2
First of all I have always wanted a Para2. I love the feel in my hands. Also it arrived very sharp right out of the box. The deployment is excellent and also the locking mechanism. It’s definitely my EDC now and my favorite of my collection.

Substantial
It’s a little bigger than what I normally carry. That’s my fault by misjudging the measurements listed. It is substantial when holding it in your hands and as usual, easy to open and close with one hand. I kinda like the bigger knife for my every day care after all. Well made

Just got married!
I received this otherworldly blade a week ago. It's my 1st high quality knife. Fell in love with it. I awoke in the morning, clutching my PM 2. The feel of the scales is AMAZING. My blade didn't initially feel sharp but cut through thick plastic food bags without resistance. Blade thickness was surprising. I am a left that is sometimes ambidextrous but LOVE the compression lock. The JIMPING makes it so that the blade becomes one with the hand. Amazing purchase. Can grip with full confidence. For me, this is my urban combat knife. Getting stupid here in NYC. I almost want to CRY and tell you how AWESOME Knifecenter service, variety and shipping is! Top notch professionals. I love the Knifecenter new knife reviews with Mr. Anderson. Incredible knowledge. I have bought a lot from this AMAZING website! Their quality knows no bounds! Thank you Knifecenter!!!
