Product Description
The Para Military 2 Salt C81GBKYLMCP2 brings Spyderco's popular Para Military 2 into the Salt Series, built with highly corrosion-resistant materials for use in and around the water. This version pairs a satin CPM MagnaCut blade with two-tone black and yellow G-10, machined to reveal its yellow layers for better visibility.
CPM MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel from Crucible Industries, designed to combine edge retention, toughness, and very high corrosion resistance, a mix that's hard to find in one steel. It resists rust from salt water, sweat, and humidity while holding a working edge. The 0.145" blade is full-flat ground with a satin finish for clean slicing, and its textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp support a choked-up grip for precise cuts.
- Blade: 3.45" CPM MagnaCut clip point with a 3.05" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, satin finish, 0.145" thick; textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp.
- Handle: Two-tone black and yellow G-10 machined with Spyderco's Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture, over nested, skeletonized liners; marine-grade, black-coated hardware; 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 pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry on the right or left side; 8.26" overall.
Ideal for: Para Military 2 fans who want a version built for salt water; anglers and boaters who want a mid-size folder for fish, line, and food prep; and anyone who wants a high-visibility knife that's easy to spot on the water.
The Spyderco Para Military 2 Salt in satin CPM MagnaCut with black and yellow G-10 (C81GBKYLMCP2) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Para Military 2 Salt: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Spyderco Para Military 2 Salt (C81GBKYLMCP2).
What lock does the Spyderco Para Military 2 Salt C81GBKYLMCP2 use?＋
The Para 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 Para Military 2 Salt good for salt water?＋
Spyderco's Salt Series uses highly corrosion-resistant materials throughout. On this version, the CPM MagnaCut blade is paired with marine-grade, black-coated handle hardware, and the yellow layers of the G-10 make the knife easier to spot in and around the water. Rinse the knife with fresh water and dry it after salt exposure to keep it in top condition.
What is CPM MagnaCut steel?＋
CPM MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel from Crucible Industries, designed to balance edge retention, toughness, and very high corrosion resistance. It holds a working edge through daily use and resists rust from salt water and humidity, which makes it a strong fit for the Salt Series.
