## Description

Para Military 2 Signature Knife with 3.42" CPM S45VN Steel Blade and Black G-10 Handle - PlainEdge - C81GPBK2

## Features

- An Improved Classic - Undeniably one of Spyderco's most popular and in-demand designs, the Para Military 2 distills the world-class performance of our legendary Military Model into a more compact, Pocket-Friendly package.
- Superior Quality - We kept the same high-performance full flat-ground blade but we've also lengthened the blade's tip and added additional surface jimping to both the spine and finger coil.
- A Secure Grip - The G-10 handle is narrowed at the end improving the Ergonomics. The handle and blade have been profile thinner; removing uncomfortable angles when in the closed position.
- Easy-To-Use - The Para Military 2 features extreme strength, reliability, and ease of use of our patented Compression Lock mechanism and versatility of a 4-position pocket clip.
- Dependable -Refinements to overall construction may not be drastic but from the G-10 textured handle to the steel full flat blade, everything is sharper, smoother and guaranteed to provide performance and user comfort.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am going to order one, but worried about a fake. I see it's sold and shipped by Amazon, is that good enough to be sure it is a genuine product?**
A: Yes, you should be fine. They required me to prove authenticity to sell mine. Amazon has a direct account with Spyderco so it can't be fake if you buy from them.

**Q: Is this a legit spyderco knife or replica**
A: Mine was a "legit" spyderco knife.  There are some good videos on youtube to help you spot the fakes.  Good luck.

**Q: Does this knife have assisted opening?**
A: No.  BUT............ this is my favorite "manual" EDC knife.  My favorite "assisted" EDC knife would be the Benchmade Volli.  I have 9 EDC knives, these 2 are easily the pick of the crop.

**Q: I want one of these but im not sure its something i need. i have a kershaw Kryo II and love it. is it that noticeable with how much better it is?**
A: It’s a need if your looking to get into more premium materials, craftsmanship and aftermarket support. This knife was my gateway knife years and years ago. It is a night and day difference. Tight tolerances with Spyderco where Kershaw doesn’t have to focus as much on that with speed safe. The steel is where I noticed the biggest difference. I noticed that my edge was holding up significantly longer.
