Product Description
The Para Military provides the performance and reliability of Spyderco's acclaimed Military model in a more compact package. Two-thirds the size of the original Military, it boasts a flat-ground CPM-S30V blade with an easily indexed 14mm Spyderco Round Hole for gloved or large hands. Its handle is constructed of stainless steel liners nested into textured black G-10 scales. The Para Military's black DLC-coated blade locks open by means of Spyderco's proprietary Compression Lock--one of the strongest folding knife locks ever produced. Ergonomic curves in the handle profile lock the user's hand securely in place, providing superior control and preventing slippage. A black steel pocket clip supports convenient carry and immediate accessibility, positioning the knife for right-hand, tip-down carry.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best pocket knife at this price.,
By game play addict (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spyderco ParaMilitary G-10 Plain Edge Knife (Sports)
If you check out reviews for this knife in utube, knifecenter.com and other sites, you will see a steady 5 star review. I initially purchased this as a gift, but I'm so impressed with the quality that I decided to keep it for myself. I bought the Para2 plain edge in camo handle and black blade. The only difference is the color of the blade and handle.
I have a few high end priced knives to include Busse and Chris Reeve. I almost purchased a $330 pocket knife until I ran into the reviews on this knife. Previous owners stated it was the best Spyderco has created taking in mind all of the quality control recommendations from previous owners. First of all, the blade is well known for maintaining its sharpness and its durablity. The heat treatment is around 59. The handle is G10 which also maintains a good grip and the lock blade is also of high quality. I won't get technical, thats what the description is for. The only negative, which is really not one is that the knife doesn't hook up easily to a pants pocket due to the friction of the clip and the G10. This can easily be fixed by sanding down that part of the G10. This is a must buy for a folder knife.

My Favorite Folder and a Great All Purpose Knife,

This review is from: Spyderco ParaMilitary G-10 Plain Edge Knife (Sports)
I am a big fan of Spyderco products. If you search my other reviews you'll find that I gave their flat ground Endura knife 5 stars and a rave review. For a little less than twice the price this knife gives you some big pluses and one or two slight negatives. First the (for me) cons: The blade is slightly shorter with about the same size grips, so you get less blade for the same amount of real estate in your pocket. The handle is slightly thicker, so the knife is very slightly less comfortable to carry. Lastly, as much as I love that this knife is US made, I find the fit and finish not quite up to the high standards of Japanese made Spyderco products like the Endura. Now the positives: The ergonomics of this knife are just amazing. It fits in the hand so naturally and can be gripped comfortably is a variety of positions. It blows away any other folding knife I've ever tried in this regard, including other Spydercos. If carried tip down as it comes from the factory, it is also has the most intuitive, swift and discrete deployment of any knife I've seen. Simply pull it out of your pocket by gripping the hole in the blade with thumb and the clip with your forefinger, give the knife a gentle downward snap while keeping your grip on the blade, and the knife opens. During this movement, the knife is mostly concealed by your hand so there is no flashy and intimidating blade flicking going on. I use my knife a lot, often in front of people who might be offended by such a display, so this is important to me. You can open any Spyderco folder like this, but with the way the PM2 is designed, it just works better. The S30V steel is not bad. I have this version as well as the more expensive CTS20CP steel model, and yes the 20CP is way better, but that was a limited edition that I lucked into and they are no longer available as far as I know, except at highly inflated prices. The knife is very lightweight, yet the grips are solid feeling and secure and the blade has a nice solid heft to it. The locking mechanism is superb. Solid, easy for lefties or the right handed to release and very secure feeling. It also works to keep the knife securely closed in the pocket which is very important. The flat ground blade is incredibly functional for slicing, food prep and utility use. Unlike the Endura and many other folders, the grips are designed with an open back so debris and junk can easily be flushed out of the knife. Anyway, I could go on and on about how awesome this knife is, I carry it 99% of the time and feel bereft on those rare occasions when I don't have it on me. If I seriously couldn't afford the extra $ between this and the Endura, I'd go with the cheaper knife, but to me, the extra $50-60 is a small price to pay for the significant upgrades. After owning this knife for a few weeks, I sold my lovely Chris Reeve folder (that cost around $400) on eBay. As beautiful as it was, it was just not up to the functionality and ergonomics of the Para Military 2.

Heck of a knife!,

This review is from: Spyderco ParaMilitary G-10 Plain Edge Knife (Sports)
You can't go wrong with the Spyderco ParaMilitary 2! It is much lighter than my Spyderco Manix 2 but feels just as strong. It is a great slicer and the S30V is extremely sharp. I am a bit concerned that the tip might snap off due to the long slender blade and upswept edge but I will just have to be careful. The compression lock is different, like a backwards liner lock, and is really easy to use if your left handed like myself. In fact, it might be easier for a lefty! I highly recommend this knife for everyday carry and office work (heavy outdoors work might be too much for the tip to handle.)
