Product Description
The Spyderco Para Military 2 C81MPCW2, also known as the PM2 CruCarta, combines the proven Para Military 2 platform with CPM Cru-Wear tool steel and classic brown canvas Micarta scales.
The 3.45-inch CPM Cru-Wear blade features a full-flat grind and plain edge. Cru-Wear is a high-performance tool steel valued for its excellent combination of toughness, wear resistance, and edge retention.
The brown canvas Micarta handle provides a naturally grippy feel that tends to become even more comfortable with use. Full stainless-steel liners support the handle, while Spyderco's Compression Lock provides secure blade lockup and allows the knife to be closed one-handed without putting your fingers in the blade path.
A four-position pocket clip supports tip-up or tip-down carry and accommodates right- or left-handed users. The knife is manufactured in the USA.

Knife Depot Take
Our Take: The PM2 CruCarta is one of the Para Military 2 configurations that really stands out for enthusiasts. CPM Cru-Wear and canvas Micarta are an excellent combination—the steel brings serious toughness and cutting performance, while the Micarta gives the PM2 a warmer, more traditional feel than its G-10 counterparts.
If you're looking for a PM2 that's a little different from the standard S30V/G-10 configuration, the CruCarta is an excellent choice.

About brand
Quick! List the most respected and innovative knife companies you can think of. If you know anything about knives, Spyderco is somewhere near the top. Spyderco Inc. makes some of the most unique and downright bizarre knife designs you'll see on the market, but from the number of passionate fans discussing, debating, and learning everything they can about Spyderco knives, it's clear that the company has done something right.
From the Glesser Family and the Spyderco Crew:
Since starting Spyderco we've been told our knives are different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed us to introduce new and radical innovations to the knife culture including: One-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket.
We didn't go into business to rake in a mountain of dough we're here for more selfish reasons- indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in our dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being key.
Someone once said to Sal Glesser, Spyderco's owner, 'You must design in the dark because your knives look so strange.' True again. Our recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we'll never be called unusable or undependable.
Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing. In our million-dollar testing facility we examine edge retention with a CATRA machine, look for rust development with Q-FOG, check the force needed to open and close a knife. We also repeatedly test for stress, wear, optimal heat-treating and actively search for higher quality, performance enhancing steels and materials.
As a customer you probably don't think about this, or much care, but it allows us to put forth a promise. When you purchase a Spyderco you are buying a high-quality reliable cutting tool designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort. Those Who Know Carry Spyderco.
