The Spyderco Para Military 2 Lightweight Black Blade is a streamlined manual folding knife designed for practical everyday carry and demanding cutting tasks. This version retains the recognizable profile, secure handling characteristics, and Compression Lock mechanism of the Para Military 2 while reducing overall weight to approximately 2.8 ounces. Its 3.47-inch clip-point blade is made from CTS BD1N stainless steel and uses a full-flat grind to provide efficient cutting geometry for routine work around the shop, campsite, vehicle, or property. A nonreflective black Diamond-Like Carbon coating gives the blade its subdued appearance and coordinates with the knife's black hardware. The cutting edge is a fully sharpened PlainEdge configuration suitable for controlled slicing and general utility work. The black fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle features a deeply molded texture that promotes a secure grip without adding unnecessary bulk. Spyderco's trademark round opening hole is accessible from either side, allowing straightforward manual operation for right- or left-handed users. The Compression Lock is positioned along the handle spine, keeping the user's fingers away from the blade's closing path during normal operation. A reversible deep-pocket wire clip supports discreet left- or right-side tip-up carry, while the integrated lanyard hole provides another carrying or retention option. Measuring 8.29 inches open and 4.82 inches closed, this lightweight Para Military 2 offers a full-size grip and useful blade length in a package that remains comfortable to carry throughout the day. It is manufactured in Golden, Colorado, USA, and provides an all-black configuration for users who prefer low-reflectivity equipment and a clean, understated appearance.Specifications and Features: 3.47-inch PlainEdge clip-point blade CTS BD1N stainless steel with black DLC coating Full-flat blade grind Black fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle Compression Lock mechanism Ambidextrous Spyderco Round Hole opener Reversible deep-pocket wire clip for left- or right-side tip-up carry Overall Length: 8.29 inches Closed Length: 4.82 inches Cutting Edge: 3.08 inches Blade Thickness: 0.145 inch Product Weight: 2.8 ounces Made in Golden, Colorado, USA Brand: Spyderco Series: Para Military 2 Lightweight Product Type: Manual folding knife Manufacturer Part Number: C81PBBK2 UPC: 716104020263
