Product Description
The Military 2 Salt C36GMCBKP2 is the all-black version of Spyderco's Military 2 in the Salt Series, built with highly corrosion-resistant materials for use in and around salt water. A black DLC-coated CPM MagnaCut blade pairs with black G-10 scales and black-coated, corrosion-resistant liners, clip, and hardware.
CPM MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel designed to combine edge retention, toughness, and very high corrosion resistance, a mix that's hard to find in one steel. Hardened to 60-63 HRC, it holds a working edge through long days of use and resists rust from salt water, sweat, and humidity. The 0.145" blade is full-flat ground for clean slicing, and a black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating adds a hard, non-reflective surface layer on top of the steel's own corrosion resistance.
- Blade: 4.0" CPM MagnaCut clip point with a 3.65" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, black DLC coating, 60-63 HRC, 0.145" thick; textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp.
- Handle: Black G-10 scales, peel-ply-textured and machined with Spyderco's Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture, over nested, skeletonized liners in an open-backed, easy-to-clean build; black-coated, corrosion-resistant liners and hardware; 5.51" closed, 4.2 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: Black four-position pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry on the right or left side, plus a generously sized lanyard hole for fobs and safety lanyards; 9.51" overall.
Ideal for: boaters, anglers, divers, and marine professionals who want a full-size folder built for salt water; tactical and law enforcement users who want a low-glare, all-black knife for coastal environments; and Military 2 fans who want the most corrosion-resistant version.
The Spyderco Military 2 Salt in black DLC CPM MagnaCut with black G-10 (C36GMCBKP2) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Military 2 Salt: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Spyderco Military 2 Salt (C36GMCBKP2).
What lock does the Spyderco Military 2 Salt C36GMCBKP2 use?+
The Military 2 Salt uses Spyderco's Compression Lock, built into the nested, skeletonized liners. 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.
What makes the Military 2 Salt good for salt water?+
Spyderco's Salt Series uses highly corrosion-resistant materials throughout. On this all-black version, the CPM MagnaCut blade has a black DLC coating, and the liners, pocket clip, and hardware are also made from corrosion-resistant materials with black coatings. Rinse the knife with fresh water and dry it after salt exposure to keep it in top condition.
What is CPM MagnaCut steel, and what does the black DLC coating do?+
CPM MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel designed to balance edge retention, toughness, and very high corrosion resistance. On this knife it is hardened to 60-63 HRC. The black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating gives the blade a non-reflective finish and adds a hard surface layer over the steel.
How does this version compare to the black and yellow Military 2 Salt?+
Both versions share the same CPM MagnaCut full-flat ground blade, Compression Lock, and four-position clip. The C36GMCBKP2 has a black DLC blade, black G-10 scales, and black-coated hardware for a low-glare look. The C36GBKYLMCP2 has a satin blade and two-tone black and yellow G-10 scales that improve visibility in and around the water.
What comes with the Military 2 Salt C36GMCBKP2?+
The C36GMCBKP2 ships as a knife with its four-position pocket clip installed. It is knife only, with no sheath or lanyard included. Packaging and included items are set by Spyderco and are subject to change.
