This distinctive expression of the Para Military 2 combines all the proven qualities of the best-selling standard version of this model with Carpenter® steel’s state-of-the-art Micro-Melt® Maxamet® blade steel.

Maxamet is an extremely hard high-speed powdered tool steel developed specifically for use in the rollers in Carpenter’s steel mills. It possesses properties that transcend conventional high-speed tool steels and approach those of cemented carbides—the ultra-hard materials used to machine other steels. Spyderco is one of only a handful of companies to master the specialized methods necessary to machine, heat treat, and grind this demanding material to yield reliable, high-performance knife blades. We are now proud to offer it in selected models made in our U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado.

This knife's full-flat-ground PlainEdge™ blade takes full advantage of Maxamet's qualities, offering an unparalleled combination of strength, low-friction cutting performance, edge retention, and point utility. It is housed in a handle featuring dark gray textured G-10 scales and nested stainless steel liners that form the foundation of its high-strength Compression Lock™ mechanism. A versatile four-position pocket clip and generously sized lined lanyard hole complete the package and support all possible carry preferences.

    Para 2

    Great knife and amazing steel. Only nitpick is the g10 scales weren't rounded at all. But it's g10 and was very easy to fix. REC were great to buy from.

    Great knife, great steel

    If you don't know the Spyderco Paramilitary 2, you're missing out. It's one of the best EDC knives out there. I have 3 of them now: the tanto, the S110V, and now this Maxamet version. As a professional knife sharpener, I have worked with a lot of different steels, and Maxamet is a performer that has little competition in terms of toughness, durability, and performance. The blade geometry is perfect for just about everything you can throw at it - boxes, fabric, leather, even zip ties (which can be tough for knives of lesser steel.). It was crazy sharp out of the box, but being the sharpener I am, I put a mirror polished edge on it, and it was much more forgiving than the S110V. I would (and have) used this blade to shave my face. You can't go wrong with this bad boy, and it is definitely worth the extra money over the standard versions.

    Excellent product, excellent service

    My knife shipped fast and arrived in a box, not a padded envelope like some other guys use. I really appreciate the REC sticker, REC bandaid sleeve, and the handwritten thank you note. Top notch customer service here. The PM2 itself is flawless, blade centered, drops shut, no blade play at all, unique polished/stonewashed blade finish. Excited to see what Maxamet is all about!

    Posted by Stacey on 26th Dec 2020

    My husband is very pleased with the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 knife. I have heard about the quality of the steel a number of times from him. I purchased him for Christmas. I am so happy to report that during these crazy covid times with shipping issues everywhere ...this order went from ordered to shipped within a half hour. Thank you REC for outstanding customer service.
