Description
The Spyderco Para Military 2 C81GS2 is one of the most proven and widely trusted everyday carry folding knives on the market, combining a compact, ergonomic design with high-performance materials. This configuration features a satin-finished CPM S45VN blade with a fully serrated SpyderEdge, paired with black G-10 handle scales for a versatile, hard-use EDC tool. Designed as a more compact evolution of the Military platform, the Para Military 2 offers outstanding cutting performance in a more pocket-friendly size. The full flat ground blade provides excellent slicing efficiency, while the fully serrated edge delivers aggressive cutting power—especially effective for rope, webbing, and fibrous materials.

The peel-ply textured black G-10 handle provides a secure grip in all conditions, while the four-position pocket clip allows for fully customizable carry.
