Product Description
The Spyderco Para Military 2 Lightweight Salt pairs the PM2's full-size Compression Lock design with Salt Series marine hardware and a CPM MagnaCut blade, all in a 2.8 oz yellow FRN handle made for wet work.
CPM MagnaCut is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel from Crucible, designed to combine strong edge retention and toughness with very high corrosion resistance. On the PM2 Salt, it is full-flat ground to 0.145" thick with a satin finish, giving thin, efficient slicing geometry across the full blade height. Spyderco pairs it with Salt Series marine-grade hardware, so the knife is built for boats, docks, and humid climates where ordinary folders tend to rust.
- Blade: 3.47" CPM MagnaCut, full-flat grind, satin finish, 0.145" thick, 3.08" PlainEdge cutting length. 8.29" overall.
- Handle: Yellow FRN with Bi-Directional Texture for grip in wet conditions, Salt Series marine-grade hardware, and a lanyard hole. 4.82" closed, 2.8 oz.
- Deployment + Lock: Spyderco Round Hole opening and a Compression Lock with an ambidextrous thumb release. Spyderco notes this lightweight build uses fewer metal components than the G-10 PM2.
- Carry: Reversible deep-pocket wire clip, tip-up for left- or right-hand carry. Knife only; no sheath included.
Ideal for: anglers, boaters, and paddlers who carry near salt water; PM2 owners who want a lighter alternative to the G-10 model; and anyone who wants a high-visibility knife that is easy to spot outdoors.
