This distinctive expression of the Spyderco Para Military 2 combines all the proven qualities of the best-selling classic version of the model with Carpenter® steel's state-of-the-art Micro-Melt® Maxamet® blade steel.
Maxamet is a tough high-speed powdered tool steel explicitly developed for use in the rollers in Carpenter's steel mills. It contains properties that transcend conventional high-speed tool steels and approaches those of cemented carbides—the ultra-hard materials used to machine other steels.
Spyderco is only a handful of companies to master the technical methods necessary to machine, heat treat, and grind this challenging material to yield reliable, high-performance knife blades from their U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado. This knife's full-flat-ground PlainEdge™ blade fully benefits Maxamet's qualities, offering an unparalleled mixture of strength, low-friction cutting performance, edge retention, and point utility.
Housed in a handle featuring dark grey textured G-10 scales and nested stainless steel liners that form the basis of its high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism.
A versatile four-position pocket clip and generously sized lined lanyard hole complete the package and support all possible carry preferences.
