Originally designed to condense the defining features of Spyderco's Military Model into a more compact format, the Paramilitary took the knife world by storm.

Its second-generation version, the Paramilitary 2, reigns as one of the most popular folding knife designs ever created and continues to inspire an expanding family of variations.

The lean, open-backed design, nested stainless steel liners, and high-strength Compression Lock mechanism of this highly evolved folder complement a full-flat-ground blade, an oversized Trademark Round Hole, and a four-position clip.

Together, the synergy of these elements yields a truly exemplary cutting tool that has had a profound impact on modern knife design.

Scaled down to only two thirds the size of the popular Spyderco Military Knife, the Paramilitary 2 meets the needs of those who need a more discreet version better suited to pocket carry.

This model created for civilian uses keeps the good features of Spyderco's larger tactical folder.

The Spyderco Para-Military II was released in 2010 with several changes over the classic version. Implementation of a new Bushing Pivot System generates fluid action and more consistent manufacturing tolerances.

The G-10 Gandle is narrowed at the end improving ergonomics. The handle and blade have been profiled thinner to eliminate hard angles when in the pocket in a closed position.

It features a Compression Lock and an ambidextrous-friendly four way clip which carries tip-up/tip-down, left/right-hand that rests deep in a pocket.

The Para-Military 2 has a CPM-S45VN full flat-ground blade.

Overall construction refinements are not drastic or even visible to the eye, but from the G-10 textured handle to the CPM-S30V Stainless Steel full flat ground blade with a Satin Finish everything is sharper, smoother and guaranteed to provide performance and user comfort.

The fit and finish of this knife is superb and it comes razor sharp from the factory as you expect from Spyderco.
