Product Description
Spyderco Para-Military2 Black Blade ~ C81GBK2 STATE OF THE ART MSRP $209.95 length overall 8.281 " (210 mm) blade length 3.438 " (87 mm) blade steel CPM S30V length closed 4.812 ", (122 mm) cutting edge 3.078 " (78 mm) weight 3.9 oz (111 g) blade thickness .141 " (3.5 mm) handle material G-10 Spyderco Para Military2 Black Blade The Spyderco Para-Military2 was released in 2010 with several changes over the classic version. Implementation of a new Bushing Pivot System generates fluid action and more consistent manufacturing tolerances. The G-10 handle is narrowed at the end improving ergonomics. The handle and blade have been profile thinner to eliminate hard angles when in the pocket in a closed position. It features a Compression Lock and an ambidextrous-friendly four way clip which carries tip-up/tip-down, left/right-hand that rests deep in a pocket. The Para-Military2 has a high-performance CPM S30V full flat-ground blade but we've lengthened the blade's tip and added additional surface jimping to both the spine and finger choil, then we coated it in non-reflective DLC (Diamond-Like Coating). Screw-together handle components, the pocket clip and the blade are coated in black to inhibit the folder's reflective qualities. Overall construction refinements are not drastic or even visible to the eye, but from the G-10 textured handle to the CPM S30V steel full flat black blade, everything is sharper, smoother and guaranteed to provide performance and user comfort. Made in Golden, Colorado U.S.A.

So first, I'm very happy to say that I recieved an "authentic" Spyderco PM2, considering the growing number of fake ones being made (and made VERY similar at that) and distributed these days. I contacted the seller to address my concerns and they assured me that the knife would be comming from an authorized Spyderco dealer, and they told me that if/when anyone is caught selling fakes, they are immediately banned from selling through amazon altogether. They even gave me the name of the dealer and their contact info if I had any questions for them. This alone put me at ease, and the seller was quick to respond and very helpful. --- I had heard a few stories of some guys buying ones off amazon, and then "returning" it to get a refund. However, they put a fake one that they'd bought (at a very low price) in the box when they returned it so they could keep the real one, and save quite a bit of their money in doing so. Then the seller would send the retuned, unused fake to one of the nex buyers, not aware that it was indeed a fake they were sending. But in the "rare" chance of that happening to me, I knew that I would get a fell refund at no problem, although it would still be a PITA, but I knew the chance of that happening was low so I just went ahead and pulled the trugger. (This is all the an fyi for anybody who is interested)
Anyway I recieved the knife, gave it a quick inspection looking for any signs the fakes have (there are a few comparison vids on youtube) and realized it was real. So again, this is an awesome knife, doesn't matter what color or blade finish you get it in, it's awesome. I'm glad I finally got the all black one since I just love the way it looks, plus the "dlc" coating on the blade is extremely durable and wil NOT rub off like other coatings. Sometimes after cutting something, it may appear to have a scratch in it, but that is usually only from the particals of what was being cut rubbing off on the blade and getting imbedded a bit in the coating, which I'm sure can be cleaned off.
Just to list some of the things I love about this knife (since this "is" a review afterall) would be: 1, the overall shape and look of it which imho is just about perfect ... 2, the nice continuous belly from heel to tip is great for slicing.. 3, the aggresive jimping on the spine and in the finger choil give excellent grip for control cutting.. 4, the extra large thump hole makes it easy to open in a number of different ways.. 5, the G10 scales have the perfect amount of traction.. 6, the very strong and very reliable compression lock... 7, the fine tip of the blade is awesome for piercing and delicate work, such as digging out splinters ;) ... 8, the extra large lanyard hole (even though I don't use lanyards) can't easily fit doubled up, non gutted 550 paracord... 9, the S30V blade takes and holds a great edge... 10, that fact that ot's made in the USA makes it tat much cooler B) ... 11, the 4 way, tip up or tip down, left side or right side positional clip to carry it anyway you'd like... 12, I know I mentioned it when talkin abou the jimping, but the forward finger choil is very useful for delicate cutting chores... 13, the VERY durable dlc blade coating... 14, and finally, imo, it has great ergonomics and is very easy to hold in all the different positions. What else can I say other than I love my ( black) PM 2 ;)
I have owned several folding knives. A few around this price point, but many that are less expensive. I have owned examples from the Tenacious family and both the Delica and Endura. I have owned representatives from the Benchmmade, KA-BAR, Ontario, Kershaw/Zero Tolerance, Buck, and CRKT product lines. Admittedly, I have no experience with many products considered to be the highest quality availiable, such as those offered by Chris Reeve.
All that being said, this is the finest "working" folding blade I have ever held. Every aspect of the knife shows great attention to detail. The G-10 handles provide excellent purchase. Blade centering is perfect. Lock-up is extremely tight in all directions. I generally like satin-finished blades, but I grew to like this type of black finish after experiencing it on the ZT 0350. It is well done on this product, it is attractive, even, and feels quite durable. I have used the Spyderco S30V on the Native and found it to hold up well over time, but quite difficult to sharpen. I immediately changed the pocket clip orientation to right-hand tip-up. This position leaves very little handle showing while in the pocket, but does leave the lanyard hole exposed. The knife opens very smoothly and lock-up is much quieter than most other forms of locking mechanisms. The jimping all three locations (thumb ramp, liner spines, and blade finger groove) works well together. Holding the knife in both the overhand and underharnd positions is very comfortable. The compression lock functions flawlessly. Lastly, the knife comes very sharp from the factory, as is typical of Spyderco products.
I would not hesitate to reccomend this product to any friend or family member. I trust that it will perfrom any task that one could appropriately demand of a folding knife both dutifully and successfully. If you are looking for a step-up from the Endura or similar product, search no further. If I were to give this knife a rating on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being excellent, this blade would receive a 10 in my opinion.
- Very sharp out of the box. I could've (albeit with some discomfort) shaved my face with it.
- Great ergonomics, with a few options for holding it in different situations
- Open and close action is effortless, Spydie flip for days.
- Compression lock is sooo nice
- Very slicey blade geometry, but thicker stock for durable spine
- Acute tip, great for stabbing stuff
- Very grippy G10
- Durable construction (full metal liners, G10, etc.)
- The S30V is a quite nice steel
- Flawless blade centering and tuning
- As big as it gets without getting cumbersome in the pocket
Meh stuff:
- The tip seems fragile, makes me fearful to do certain things with it.
- Edge is a smidge chippy if you accidentally glance something like a rock
- DLC coating and G10 scales show mild wear readily. I personally think it adds character, but others may disagree.
Bad stuff:
- One screw in the pocket clip was tightened down way too hard. It ended up stripping before I could move the clip to tip up carry; it took convincing to finally move the clip.

1. The grip on the handle is second to none. I scaled a fish with mine day 2 of having it and didn't slip out of my hands, wet, fish slime, not a slip.
2. The blade is so dang sharp that I can shave a millimeter of skim off my finger tip with a quickness. It comes razor sharp.
3. The locking mechanism is strong, very strong. No issues yet and I've played with it alot. This isn't a sit in my pocket knife I use it at work alot.
4. This knife is perfect in my opinion and worth every dollar I payed.

Die schwarze Optik. Die Außerst Hochwertigen Griffschalen. Und die Klinge, durch den Klingenstahl S45VN ist die Klinge äußerst straßazierfähig aber noch nachschleifbar (sogar ohne Diamant möglich)
Mit dem Messer kann man alles machen, da es Ergonomisch ist, haltbar und zuverlässig ist.
Und durch die verschiedenen Griffmöglichkeiten kann man damit auch mal ordentlich Arbeiten/schnitzen.
Estoy muy satisfecho con la Spyderco, Paramilitary 2. Había leído mucho acerca de ella en internet, y supera mis expectativas.
Admiro la atención a los detalles en la manufactura y diseño.
PROS:
1. La navaja viene afiladísima, puede rasurar los bellos del brazo.
2. El ensamble está muy firme, perfectamente centrada.
3. El mecanismo de bloqueo es muy fuerte y ajusta perfecto
4. la textura de las cachas es rugosa para impedir que resbale, sin ser incomoda.
5. Los materiales son de primera.
6. Es una belleza!, con el recubrimiento negro, el símbolo dorado y la forma de la navaja.
7. ajusta en la mano comodamente, de varias formas de sujeción, para fuerza o precisión. El dedo índice queda bien resguardado de resbalones.
8. La apertura y cierre son adictivos. Dan ganas de estarla abriendo y cerrando, solo por la sensación.
9. Hay pequeños detalles como el diámetro del orificio, las secciones ranuradas, el mecanismo de cierre, etc. que demuestran mucha atención a los detalles y pasión por hacer un gran producto.
Contras:
1. El precio es alto comparada con muchas (unos 130dlls).
2. Tarda un poco en suavizarse el mecanismo.
3. Preocupan los muchos reportes en internet acerca de clones. (creo que conviene adquirir directamente de Amazon y no de teceros).
4. Crea una compulsión por ponerse a rebanar zanahorias o cortar cartón, sin necesidad alguna.
la geometría de esta la hace ser muy frágil en ciertos usos.
