Product Description

The Spyderco Military 2 Salt is the largest and most capable folder in the CPM MagnaCut Salt series — a 4.00-inch blade in the Military 2's iconic saber-ground geometry, Compression Lock, and Black & Yellow G-10, built for buyers who need a full-size working knife that survives the water without compromise on blade length, lock strength, or steel performance.

The CPM MagnaCut blade is Larrin Thomas's purpose-engineered powder metallurgy steel, designed to lead production EDC steels on edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance simultaneously — the combination that makes it the most capable steel choice for a Salt series build. Where LC200N and H1 deliver corrosion resistance at the cost of edge retention, CPM MagnaCut holds a working edge comparable to M390 and Elmax while surviving sustained saltwater exposure without pitting or rust. On the Military 2 platform, that steel is paired with a saber grind — a high flat grind that leaves more material behind the edge than a full flat grind, trading some slicing geometry for a blade that is significantly more robust under hard lateral use and prying forces. At 4.00 inches with 0.148 inches of blade stock, this is a folder built to work hard, not just carry well.

• Blade: CPM MagnaCut, saber grind, modified clip point profile, satin finish — purpose-built PM steel with M390-class edge retention and saltwater-ready corrosion resistance; saber grind leaves more steel behind the edge for a blade that handles hard use and lateral stress without the fragility of a full flat or hollow grind
• Handle: Black & Yellow G-10, textured for positive grip in wet and demanding conditions, full Military 2 ergonomics with a finger choil that locks the hand forward for controlled precision work — high-visibility colorway keeps the knife locatable on a deck or in a gear bag; G-10 is impervious to salt, moisture, and temperature variation
• Deployment / Lock: Spyderco Round Hole thumb opening, Compression Lock — the Compression Lock leaf spring engages the blade tang from the handle spine rather than the scale, making it fully ambidextrous and one of the strongest lock geometries in production folding knives; lateral blade pressure increases lock engagement rather than working against it
• Carry: 4.97 oz, tip-up right-hand clip, 5.47 inches closed — the heaviest and longest folder in the Knifeworks CPM MagnaCut Salt lineup; lanyard hole present for tethered carry

Ideal For

Commercial fishermen, deckhands, and marine professionals who need a full-size working folder — not a compact EDC carry knife — that handles the full range of on-the-water cutting tasks from fish processing to line work to rigging without the blade length limitations of the Sage 5 or Native Chief Salt builds. Hard-use outdoor buyers who want a 4-inch CPM MagnaCut folder in a saber grind that can handle lateral stress and demanding cutting tasks that would chip or deflect a thinner full-flat-ground blade — the Military 2's saber geometry is the right choice when the work goes beyond slicing into chopping, prying, and batoning territory. Buyers who have carried the standard Military 2 and want the same proven platform and Compression Lock geometry in a corrosion-resistant build for coastal, marine, or high-humidity carry environments.

CPM MagnaCut steel, saber grind, Compression Lock, and 4.00 inches of blade built for the environments that destroy conventional folders — the Spyderco Military 2 Salt C36GBKYLMCP2 is the most capable working knife in the CPM MagnaCut Salt lineup at $230.
