Product Description
The Para Military 2 C81GPDBL2 distills Spyderco's Military design into a more compact, pocket-friendly folder with a Compression Lock and a four-position clip. This version pairs a 3.45" satin CPM S110V blade with textured dark blue G-10, the signature color of Spyderco's S110V family.
CPM S110V is a powder metallurgy stainless steel from Crucible with a high volume of vanadium and niobium for very high wear resistance, plus extra chromium for strong corrosion resistance. In practice, that means an edge that keeps cutting through cardboard, cord, and long days of work well after most stainless steels have dulled. The trade-off is sharpening: it takes diamond or CBN abrasives to restore. 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 S110V clip point with a 3.05" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, satin finish, 0.145" thick; textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp.
- Handle: Textured dark blue 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; 8.26" overall.
Ideal for: users who want maximum edge retention in a mid-size folder; EDC carriers who cut all day and don't want to sharpen often; and Spyderco collectors building an S110V lineup.
The Spyderco Para Military 2 in CPM S110V with dark blue G-10 (C81GPDBL2) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Para Military 2: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Spyderco Para Military 2 (C81GPDBL2).
What lock does the Spyderco Para Military 2 C81GPDBL2 use?+
The Para Military 2 uses Spyderco's Compression Lock, built into skeletonized stainless steel liners nested into machined recesses in the G-10 scales. When the knife is open, a leaf spring in the liner wedges between the blade tang and the stop pin. You release it from the spine side of the handle with one hand, which keeps your fingers out of the blade's path as it closes.
How does the Para Military 2 compare to the Military?+
Spyderco designed the Para Military 2 to distill the performance and reliability of its Military model into a more compact, pocket-friendly folder. It adds the Compression Lock and a four-position clip, and keeps the full-flat ground blade, Trademark Round Hole, and textured choil and thumb ramp, in a 3.45-inch blade and a 4.82-inch closed length.
What is CPM S110V steel, and how do I sharpen it?+
CPM S110V is a powder metallurgy stainless steel from Crucible with a high volume of vanadium and niobium for very high wear resistance, plus extra chromium for strong corrosion resistance. It holds a working edge far longer than most stainless steels. Because it is so wear resistant, it is slow to sharpen on conventional stones, so diamond or CBN abrasives work best. Dark blue handles mark it as part of Spyderco's S110V family.
What is the Para Military 2 blade good for?+
The C81GPDBL2 has a 3.45-inch clip point blade with a 3.05-inch PlainEdge and a full-flat grind, so it slices cleanly for opening packages, breaking down boxes, cutting cord, and food prep. The textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp let you choke up on the blade for detailed, controlled cuts.
What comes with the Para Military 2 C81GPDBL2?+
The C81GPDBL2 ships as a knife with its four-position pocket clip installed. It is knife only, with no sheath included. Packaging and included items are set by Spyderco and are subject to change.
