SP81SBK2: C81PSK2 Paramilitary 2 Lightweight Serrated

Spyderco

Spyderco’s Para Military 2 is hands down one of the most popular, recognizable, and carried knives in the cutlery industry. Now this iconic design is available in a lightweight format that trims the knife’s overall weight by more than 25 percent and adds enhanced grip security. The secrets to its remarkable design start with injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle scales. Lighter than G10, they feature the signature Bi-Directional Texture pattern for a high-traction, non-slip grip. They also house a streamlined Compression Lock mechanism that further reduces the knife’s weight while locking the blade securely open during use. The business end of the knife showcases a full-flat-ground CTS-BD1N stainless steel blade, which is available in both PlainEdge and fully serrated SpyderEdge formats. To ensure discreet, convenient carry while keeping the knife poised for instant access, the Para Military 2 Lightweight includes a deep-pocket wire clip that is reversible for left- or right-side tip-up carry.

Cons: Pocket Clip
Wonderful knife!
Wonderful addition to my drawer of Spyderco blades! Weight, pivot, scales, blade are all wonderful. I do technical theatre/production work, and EDC has been an Endura 4, now swapping between that and this PM2 lightweight. More serrated blade on the PM2, more straight blade on the Endura 4. PM2 opens so nicely and is a bit lighter. I have a 3rd party clip on the Endura that gives me deeper pocket carry; might try my skills at a similar clip for the PM2. I'm left handed; my ideal would be a LEFT HANDED blade and blue scales.

Cheap version of the Paramilitary 2
The action isn’t smooth unless you loosen the pivot a lot but then you get a ridiculous amount of side to side blade play. Gets a little better within time. The inside edge is extremely sharp like the Para 3 lightweight but far more noticeable on this PM2 lightweight because it’s longer. You are going to feel it. A standard paper clip has more shine than this wire clip and this wire clip is a lot longer than the Para 3 lightweight wire clip obviously. All in all, it’s an extremely cheap version of the Paramilitary 2, I mean a very cheap cheap version. Why they’re charging $150 I have no idea but I paid for it.
