Spyderco Para Military 2 Lightweight Features The Spyderco Para Military 2 Lightweight starts from one of the cutlery industry s most recognizable designs and reworks it with injection molded fiberglass reinforced nylon handle scales in place of G-10. This single change trims the knife s overall weight by more than 25 percent to 2.80 ounces while the Bi-Directional Texture pattern molded into the scales delivers a high traction non slip grip in dry or wet conditions. The streamlined Compression Lock housed in the handle locks the blade securely open during use while contributing to the overall weight savings. A thumb hole opening gives quick fully ambidextrous one handed deployment whenever the knife is needed. The blade itself is full flat ground from CTS BD1N a nitrogen enriched stainless steel that Carpenter Technology engineered to balance edge retention toughness corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. A tumbled satin finish covers the 3.47 inch blade and the plain edge configuration keeps maintenance simple for everyday tasks. At 8.29 inches overall the knife remains compact enough for pocket carry aided by a deep pocket wire clip that reverses for left or right side tip up carry.
