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.

The Para 2 is an awesome knife. Action is incredible. It is a beautiful work of art. I am so impressed with Spyderco I just bought the Manix 2. Can't wait for it to arrive!

Trust the reviews on this knife!
The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 (PM2) is highly regarded for its quality construction, ergonomic design, and versatility, making it a popular choice for everyday carry. It features a 3.44-inch SPY27 blade, a comfortable G-10 handle, and a reliable compression lock, earning praise for its performance and durability. This is my second of these knives. Once you have one of these you’ll see why it makes other knives obsolete. The SPY27 metal is Spyderco’s first and only foray into their own steel. It’s worth it. The handle is blue because of the blue cobalt they added to the metal steel mix for the blade. Pretty neat! Try it and you’ll see too.
