Spyderco Para Military 2 Lightweight Black: A Tactical Lightweight Icon
The Para Military 2 is one of the most respected pocket knives worldwide, and this Lightweight version takes the iconic design to a new level of portability. With a weight reduction of more than 25 percent compared to the standard version, this knife offers the full power and dimensions of the PM2 without the bulk. In this all-black version, the knife combines a discreet look with the indestructible performance Spyderco is known for.
Product Introduction and Key Features
This version of the Para Military 2 is designed for users who count every gram but don't want to compromise on the reliability of their tools.
High-quality CTS BD1N Steel: The blade is made from nitrogen-enriched CTS BD1N stainless steel. This steel offers an excellent balance between edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening.
- Tactical DLC Coating: The blade features a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. This black finish does not reflect light and provides an extra layer of protection against scratches and corrosion.
- FRN Handles with Superior Grip: The fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handles are not only featherlight, but also feature Spyderco's patented Bi-Directional Texture. This ensures a rock-solid grip, even in wet or cold conditions.
- Patented Compression Lock: This mechanism on the top of the handle is extremely strong and allows you to safely close the knife without placing your fingers in the path of the blade.
- Trademark Round Hole: The iconic opening in the blade allows for lightning-fast, one-handed opening for both left- and right-handed users.
With a total weight of only 78 grams, this Para Military 2 is the ideal choice for “deep-cover” tactical applications or as an ultra-light EDC (Every Day Carry) knife. The addition of a deep-pocket wire clip ensures that the knife rests deep and inconspicuously in your pocket, while the all-black hardware (screws and clip) contributes to the understated, tactical aesthetic.
The ergonomics of the PM2 are legendary. Thanks to the generous choil (finger recess) and jimping (ribbing) on the thumb rest, you can grip the knife “short” for extremely precise cutting. The clip is reversible for tip-up carry on both the left and right sides, making the knife fully ambidextrous. After use in harsh conditions, the knife is easy to clean and, thanks to the BD1N steel, can be quickly sharpened to a razor edge.
This knife is ideal for military personnel, law enforcement officers, outdoor enthusiasts, and collectors who prefer a lightweight version of a classic. The all-black design also makes it a favorite for those who like “murdered-out” equipment.
