Para Military 2 Folding Pocket Knife with 3.4" CPM MagnaCut Steel Blade and G-10 Handle - EDC Knife for Men and Women, Perfect for Hunting, Tactical, Camping - PlainEdge - C81GMCBKP2

This folder has so many attributes that it's hard to know where to begin describing them. First, I love the weight and overall size. It has mass and substance, but is light and very comfortable to carry. The handle is a dream. Its structure/texture gives one a very solid and secure grip without being aggressive. It feels very good in hand. The blade opens with a level of smoothness that one must feel in order to fully appreciate, and it locks securely into place with no play. It feels like greased glass with the speed of a lightning bolt. The CPM MagnaCut steel is equally impressive. It is definitely a high performance metal, offering outstanding corrosion resistance, edge retention, and strength. The blade is absolutely razor sharp and will cut you if you stare at it too long. Well, almost. The first thing I look at in a folding knife is its locking mechanism. The last thing you want is for the blade to close when you don't want it to, and I have seen it happen. The results of that can be ugly. Spyderco's compression lock system seems to be very secure and strong. I feel as though it's strong enough that one does not have to be concerned about this aspect. While I also feel that Cold Steel's Tri-Ad locking system is the very best and strongest in the industry, the Compression system is superb. When it comes to closing the blade, I have read comments from folks who feel that it's not the easiest system to use. If one is right handed, I think it's an incredibly safe, simple, and fast process, and it can be done using only one hand if you choose. As with any folding knife, just be sure that your fingers are not in the blade's path as it closes. If they are, you likely won't make that same mistake twice. If you are left handed, however, you will need to use two hands to close the blade. Either way, it's no big deal. It's simple and quite safe. By the way, when closed the blade is perfectly centered between the scales. I love everything about this Spyderco, and the lifetime warranty and sharpening service adds a sweet layer of icing to a delectable cake. Cost wise, I have seen prices for this model run in the $200-239 range. Now, one does not have to spend anywhere near this much in order to obtain a high quality folder. On the other hand, if you are looking for a premium grade knife that gives you that warm glow inside, this is the knife. To me, value is the sum of an item's quality, practicality, and price. Using this formula, It is my opinion that the Spyderco Paramilitary2 CPM MagnaCut is indeed well worth the money. Stay safe out there, and God Bless!

Have 5 or six other Spyderco knives but this my first pm2. Initially ordered a pm2 in cpm s45vn but it arrived with a chip in the blade and dlc came off just with rubbing it so it is on it’s on the way back! Saw this version of the pm2 Salt and decided to give it a try. Arrived quickly as usual and nicely ptotected by styrofoam. Nothing fancy in Spyderco packaging….. knife in plastic rapper, instruction/care manual, and small spyderco sticker. The knife itself is a real looker with the black textured handle scales and classic spydie shaped 3.4 inch blade in black magnacut. The handle is quite comfortable and feels good in all grips and the texture makes it very grippy and feels very secure in hand and not likely to slip even in wet conditions. No sharp edges except the blade. Of course it came literally hair shaving sharp ( yes, I tried ). The blade action is good right out of the box but I expect it to improve even more with use and a few drops of pivot lube. Blade is perfectly centered and the compression lock is rock solid. Absolutely no blade play in any direction. The four position pocket clip allows for various carry options. I changed the clip to a deep carry one and it just about disappears in the pocket. Along with its light weight you will hardly know it’s there This is going right to an edc and I expect it will be in my rotation for years to come.

Took me a while to buy this one. Convinced me to buy after I looked up the real world knife steels cutting and performance testing on You Tube, and using AI for my blade STEEL COMPARISONS. Arrived on time. This PM2 is definitely Top Shelf Spyderco quality, hair shaving sharp, smiling after just handling it for a minute. Pricey blade steel yes, but at 72 yrs young, what am I waiting for? Really Glad I got it….don’t hesitate!

Initial reviews is very positive, I like the knife overall for my EDC and the Magnacut steel comes insanely sharp out of the box. Time will tell how it holds up and how durable it is but I like this to replace my old camo handle para Military that was lost after a few years but also had a tiny part of the tip break off.

This is my first Spyderco and I’m very happy with it. Super sharp and very well made. Nice balanced feel.

No better EDC for the price.

Have the S45VN DLC and Cruwear Micarta PM2 versions, and this one seems to top them. The scales are a lot more grippy than the original g10 and surprisingly more than the Micarta version. Can't go wrong with Magnacut either as it's a super steel. To anyone curious about trying the pm2, please just so yourself a favor and get it. I've collected hundreds of knives and a blade like the pm2 will last you many years with great performance. I'm a carpenter and the ergonomics on a paramilitary 2 can't be beat. You just have to use it to understand and it will click. Not to mention it's a great lightweight self defence knife as well.

Huge chip in blade, right out of the box

Un muy buena navaja a buen tamaño y eficaz como edc , la recomiendo como al vendedor alphanet
