The Spyderco Para Military 2 Dark Gray is a knife that’s earned its place among the most respected everyday carry folding knives in the world. Renowned for its performance, ergonomics, and versatility, the Para Military 2 has become a benchmark in the knife community, and this version with a Maxamet steel blade and dark gray G-10 handle takes everything to the next level. Designed with purpose and crafted with precision, it’s a knife built for serious use while still being comfortable enough to carry every day.
The blade measures 3.45 inches and is made from Maxamet steel, a high-performance alloy known for its remarkable hardness and edge retention. If you’re looking for a blade that stays sharp longer than most, Maxamet delivers. The satin finish enhances its sleek look while showcasing the quality craftsmanship Spyderco is known for. Shaped in a versatile clip point style, the blade provides strength, precision, and cutting efficiency across a wide range of tasks. From heavy-duty work to detailed slicing, it’s a tool that excels in both toughness and finesse.
Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole makes one-handed opening smooth and effortless, and because it’s ambidextrous, both right- and left-handed users can deploy the blade with equal ease. Once open, the compression lock takes over, securing the blade with strength and reliability. This mechanism is not only solid but also easy to disengage with one hand, offering safety and convenience in a streamlined design.
The handle of the Para Military 2 is crafted from dark gray G-10, a material chosen for its toughness, lightweight nature, and excellent grip. Its textured surface ensures control even in challenging conditions, and the ergonomic shaping fits naturally into the hand for all-day comfort. At 4.82 inches closed, the knife carries compactly, yet its overall length of 8.26 inches gives you a full-sized feel when in use. A lanyard hole adds customization options for those who prefer carrying with added security or personal flair.
One of the hallmarks of the Para Military 2 is its versatility in carry. With a four-position pocket clip, you can choose tip-up or tip-down carry, on either the left or right side. Fully ambidextrous and adaptable, it’s designed to match your preferences and lifestyle. At just 3.8 ounces, it offers an impressive balance of strength and portability. You’ll hardly notice it in your pocket, yet it’s ready to handle demanding tasks the moment you need it.
Proudly made in the USA, the Spyderco Para Military 2 Dark Gray embodies the brand’s commitment to American craftsmanship and innovation.
