The Spyderco Military was a smash hit when it was released, bringing the first powder steel to production knives (CPM 440V—gosh, we've come a long way), as well as a big, tactical design people were craving. The pocket knife's design inspired the ParaMilitary, and eventually the ParaMilitary 2 and the Para 3, but we never got a Military 2—until now. The Military 2 is a clear example of Spyderco's commitment to Constant Quality Improvement. Evolving with the times, Spyderco equipped the Military 2 with the increasingly popular Compression Lock. Not only does this make the knife safer to close, but gives it a jolt of much-needed strength to support its four-inch blade. Spyderco kept everything you love about the Military and made it even better! Spyderco released their first knife in 1981 and quickly became an EDC favorite for millions with the popularization of innovations like the Spydie Hole and pocket clip. Built from the edge up, Spyderco knives are functional, ergonomic, and utilitarian. Today, you can find a Spyderco knife to suit nearly any need, from the ultra-portable Ladybug to the hard-use Manix 2. And with a variety of blade steels and handle materials to choose from, there's a perfect Spyderco out there for everyone.
