The Spyderco Para Military 2 Lightweight Salt takes the legendary Para Military 2 platform and refines it into a lightweight, corrosion-resistant folder built for demanding everyday use. More than 25 percent lighter than its G-10-handled counterpart, this Salt Series version combines a bright yellow FRN handle, premium marine-grade components, and a high-performance CPM MagnaCut blade.
The 3.47-inch blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut, an advanced powder-metallurgy stainless steel designed to provide an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance. Its full-flat grind delivers an efficient cutting geometry, while the satin finish gives the blade a clean, rugged appearance. This model features a PlainEdge cutting edge, making it an excellent choice for controlled slicing, precision cutting, food preparation, opening packages, and a wide range of everyday tasks.
The bright yellow FRN handle gives the Para Military 2 Lightweight Salt excellent visibility in and around the water, while Spyderco's proven Bi-Directional Texture pattern provides enhanced grip security. The textured surface helps maintain a confident hold when conditions are wet, making this lightweight folder particularly well suited for boating, fishing, marine environments, outdoor work, and everyday carry.
A streamlined Compression Lock mechanism is integrated into the handle, providing secure blade lockup while helping maintain the knife's lightweight construction. The generously sized lanyard hole offers a convenient attachment point, while the reversible deep-pocket wire clip provides discreet tip-up carry from either the left or right side.
The Salt Series construction goes beyond the blade. The handle components and hardware are made from premium corrosion-resistant, marine-grade materials, allowing the Para Military 2 Lightweight Salt to stand up to environments where moisture and corrosion can be serious concerns.
At 8.29 inches overall, with a 4.82-inch closed length and a 2.8-ounce weight, this Para Military 2 delivers substantial cutting capability without unnecessary bulk. The combination of CPM MagnaCut, bright yellow FRN, a full-flat grind, Compression Lock, and corrosion-resistant construction gives this folder the performance and durability needed for serious everyday carry.
The bright yellow FRN handle and satin CPM MagnaCut PlainEdge blade create a lightweight, corrosion-resistant Salt Series folder built for dependable everyday cutting.
