Product Description
The Para Military 2 C81GPLE2 is a purpose-designed left-handed version of one of Spyderco's most popular models. It keeps everything that makes the Para Military 2 a best-seller, with a mirror-image Compression Lock built specifically for left-handed use.
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 an oversized Trademark Round Hole that is fully accessible for one-handed opening.
- Blade: 3.45" CPM S45VN clip point with a 3.05" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, 0.145" thick; oversized Trademark Round Hole.
- Handle: Black textured G-10 scales with stainless steel liners nested inside, in a slim, open-backed build that is lighter and easier to clean; 4.82" closed, 3.8 oz.
- Deployment + Lock: Left-handed Compression Lock, a mirror image of the standard lock, so left-handed users release it from the spine side with the thumb and keep their fingers clear of the closing blade.
- Carry: Four-position pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side, plus a lined lanyard hole for fobs, lanyards, and safety lines; 8.26" overall.
Ideal for: left-handed users who want a Compression Lock built for their dominant hand; Para Military 2 fans who have waited for a true lefty version; and anyone buying a dependable everyday folder for a left-handed carrier.
The left-handed Spyderco Para Military 2 in CPM S45VN with black G-10 (C81GPLE2) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Para Military 2 Left-Handed: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the left-handed Spyderco Para Military 2 (C81GPLE2).
What lock does the left-handed Para Military 2 C81GPLE2 use?＋
It uses a mirror-image version of Spyderco's Compression Lock, engineered specifically for left-handed operation. When the knife is open, a leaf spring in the liner wedges between the blade tang and the stop pin. A left-handed user releases it from the spine side of the handle with the thumb, which keeps the fingers out of the blade's path as it closes. It offers the same strength and ease of use as the standard lock.
Is this Para Military 2 only for left-handed users?＋
The C81GPLE2 is configured for left-handed use. The ambidextrous Round Hole and four-position clip work for either hand, but the mirror-image Compression Lock is positioned for a left-handed thumb, so right-handed users will find the standard Para Military 2 more natural to close.
What is CPM S45VN steel?＋
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, holds a working edge through daily use, and sharpens well on diamond or ceramic abrasives.
What is the Para Military 2 blade good for?＋
The C81GPLE2 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 open-backed handle is light and easy to clean.
What comes with the Para Military 2 C81GPLE2?＋
The C81GPLE2 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.
