Product Description

The Spyderco Para Military 2 Lightweight C81PBK2 takes one of the most recognizable folding knives in the industry and makes it significantly lighter. By replacing traditional G-10 scales with lightweight fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), Spyderco reduces the weight by more than 25 percent while adding its high-traction Bi-Directional Texture pattern.

The 3.47-inch clip point blade is made from CTS BD1N stainless steel and features a full-flat grind with a plain cutting edge. CTS BD1N offers a well-balanced combination of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening, making it a practical choice for everyday cutting.

The black FRN handle features Spyderco's Bi-Directional Texture for a secure grip in a variety of conditions. The streamlined handle also houses Spyderco's proven Compression Lock, which securely locks the blade open while allowing convenient one-handed operation.

A deep-carry wire pocket clip provides discreet carry and is reversible for left- or right-side, tip-up carry. The signature Spyderco Round Hole provides convenient one-handed blade opening.

Knife-Depot Take

The Para Military 2 Lightweight is a great option for customers who love the PM2 but want something easier to carry. The FRN construction significantly reduces the weight without giving up the Compression Lock, full-flat-ground blade, or excellent PM2 ergonomics. The deep-carry wire clip is another nice touch, keeping this version low-profile in the pocket.

If you want the classic Para Military 2 design in a lighter, more carry-friendly package, the C81PBK2 is a very compelling 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.
