Blade HQ Exclusive! 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. The aluminum handle is strong enough to not require any liners but remains lightweight. We chose the BD1N steel for its fine-grained structure and nitrogen cooling that spreads carbides; making for an incredibly sharp edge, good toughness, and great corrosion resistance. The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is one of the most popular knives on the market today, which is no surprise to anyone who's ever held it. It boasts great materials, reliable build quality, an attractive aesthetic, an ergonomic grip, and is easy to use with one hand—a rare combination of excellent features. Each has contributed to the PM2's astonishing popularity. This icon of the knife industry has found its way into the pockets of soldiers, builders, hunters, survivalists, and everyday knife carriers all over the world. Every knife enthusiast needs a PM2 in their collection. The Paramilitary 2 as we know it today is the second iteration of the old Para Military, a model designed by Spyderco as a more compact and accessible version of their Military model. But if you're looking for something even more compact, the Para 3 might be the knife for you! Please note: Because of the linerless construction of this knife, it is not compatible with many aftermarket accessories.
