Product Description
Celebrate five decades of "Independent Variance" with the Spyderco Para Military 2 Lightweight C81PBK2. Released as a flagship centerpiece of Spyderco’s 50th Anniversary year (1976–2026), this model finally brings the world’s most popular folding knife into the featherlight FRN category.
By utilizing CTS-BD1N nitrogen-enriched steel, this PM2 Lightweight offers a razor-sharp, easy-to-maintain edge with exceptional thin-slice geometry. The handle is injection-molded from Black Fiberglass-Reinforced Nylon (FRN), reducing the total weight to a mere 2.8 oz—a 25% reduction from the standard G-10 model. Built in Golden, Colorado, it features a deep-carry wire clip and the legendary Compression Lock®, ensuring this anniversary edition is as practical as it is historic.
