Your Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Folding Knife Questions Answered

The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is a durable, two-thirds sized version of the Military model featuring the signature high-strength compression lock. This series offers a vast range of premium steels and handle materials suited for everything from heavy-duty work to everyday carry.

What steel is used in the Paramilitary 2 series?
The series offers various premium steels including CPM-S45VN, Maxamet, and CruWear steel, which provides a balance of high toughness and edge retention. Specialized versions also feature CPM-MagnaCut for rust resistance or CPM-SPY27 for a proprietary Spyderco blend.
How does the handle construction differ between variants?
While many models use G10 scales with inset liners, the Micarta version features full liners that extend to the edge of the handle. This change in construction means that standard aftermarket scales may not fit the Micarta-handled Paramilitary 2 variants.
Is the Paramilitary 2 easy to operate with one hand?
The Paramilitary 2 is specifically designed for easy one-handed operation thanks to its signature Round Hole and compression lock mechanism. Users can safely close the knife with one hand while keeping their fingers away from the blade's path during the process.
Does the Paramilitary 2 support different carry positions?
Most Paramilitary 2 models come with a four-position pocket clip that supports tip-up, tip-down, left-handed, or right-handed carry. The Lightweight variants typically substitute the standard clip for a deep-carry reversible wire clip.
Why is the Paramilitary 2 so popular?
The Paramilitary 2 is highly regarded for its exceptional action and the safety provided by the compression lock, which allows for a fidgety deployment while keeping fingers clear. Its reliability is further enhanced by high-performance materials like CruWear steel and ergonomic handles that accommodate diverse grip styles.
