This Blade HQ Exclusive Spyderco Paramilitary 2 features a satin blade and a red aluminum handle. Features: For many people, the PM2 is just about perfect. It would be easy for Spyderco to rest on its laurels, and continue to produce this icon of the knife industry as we all know it, but that's not the Spyderco way. Blade HQ and Spyderco have teamed up to take the Para 2 to the next level, with these anodized aluminum handle scales. Not only do they add a bit of strength, but because they negate the need for full steel liners, they make the knife a little bit lighter, too. We chose CTS BD1N blade steel, a very fine-grained steel that uses nitrogen to equally spread carbides, making for an incredibly sharp edge and good toughness. We stock many versions of the Spyderco Paramilitary 2, made in several colors with different blade and handle materials. Please note: Because of the linerless construction of this knife, it is not compatible with many aftermarket accessories.
