This distinctive expression of the Para Military 2 combines all the proven qualities of the best-selling standard version of this model with Carpenter® steel’s state-of-the-art Micro-Melt® Maxamet® blade steel.

Maxamet is an extremely hard high-speed powdered tool steel developed specifically for use in the rollers in Carpenter’s steel mills. It possesses properties that transcend conventional high-speed tool steels and approach those of cemented carbides—the ultra-hard materials used to machine other steels. Spyderco is one of only a handful of companies to master the specialized methods necessary to machine, heat treat, and grind this demanding material to yield reliable, high-performance knife blades. We are now proud to offer it in selected models made in our U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado.

This knife's full-flat-ground PlainEdge™ blade takes full advantage of Maxamet's qualities, offering an unparalleled combination of strength, low-friction cutting performance, edge retention, and point utility. It is housed in a handle featuring dark gray textured G-10 scales and nested stainless steel liners that form the foundation of its high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism. A versatile four-position pocket clip and generously sized lined lanyard hole complete the package and support all possible carry preferences.

My only Compression Lock and I'm not fond of it, it digs into the skin during hard work (at least for right handed use). But people like the fact that it can acheive 'hanging' blade ability when broken in, so let's give 'em that. The feel of that G-10 handle is not my favorite, it feels like soft sand paper, but it's true that with glove use or in wet conditions it proves to be handy. And Flytanium options are also available though. I LOVE the giant belly on that blade, it clearly slices better than most Spyderco models or other brand folders. And that Maxamet steel, crazy retention though excruciating to sharpen if you get there. Would suggest digging Youtube before diving into it. Other than that, insanely smooth mechanism and no blade play at all.
