Product Description
The Para Military 2 C81GP2 distills Spyderco's Military design into a more compact, pocket-friendly folder with a Compression Lock and a four-position clip. This is the core version: a 3.45" satin CPM S45VN PlainEdge blade with black peel-ply-textured G-10 and brightly finished hardware.
CPM S45VN is a powder metallurgy stainless steel from Crucible, developed as an advance on CPM S35VN with added niobium for a fine, tough structure. It balances edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, so it holds a working edge through daily use and stands up to sweat and humid weather. The 0.145" blade is full-flat ground with a satin finish, and its textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp support a choked-up grip for precise cuts.
- Blade: 3.45" CPM S45VN clip point with a 3.05" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, satin finish, 0.145" thick; textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp.
- Handle: Black peel-ply-textured G-10 scales with skeletonized stainless steel liners nested into machined recesses, in an open-backed build; 4.82" closed, 3.8 oz.
- Deployment + Lock: Spyderco Trademark Round Hole for one-handed opening with either hand; the Compression Lock releases from the spine side, so your fingers stay clear of the closing blade.
- Carry: Four-position hourglass clip for tip-up or tip-down carry on the right or left side, plus an oversized lined lanyard hole; 8.26" overall.
Ideal for: EDC carriers who want a mid-size folder with full-size handling; users who like a choked-up grip for detail work; and Para Military 2 fans who want the core S45VN model.
The Spyderco Para Military 2 in satin CPM S45VN with black G-10 (C81GP2) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
