Spyderco Para-Military2 Maxamet
Item #: SPC81GPDGY2
$288.00
Part of Spyderco’s C.Q.I. (Constant Quality Improvement) program, the Para-Military design has evolved over time yet staying true to its roots. The G-10 handle has been narrowed at the end improving the ergonomics. The handle and blade have been given a thinner profile; removing uncomfortable angles when in the closed position. It features a Compression Lock and an ambidextrous-friendly four-way pocket clip, which carries tip-up/tip-down, left/right-hand and rests deeper in a pocket. A large lanyard hole gives more options for carry.
They kept the full flat-ground blade shape but have lengthened the blade’s tip and added additional surface jimping to both the spine and finger choil. This version of the Para-Military 2 is made with Micro-Melt® Maxamet blade steel. Maxamet is an extremely hard high-speed powdered tool steel possessing properties that transcend conventional high-speed tool steels and approach those of cemented carbides—the ultra-hard materials used to machine other steels. When Carpenter developed this amazing alloy for the rollers in their steel mills, they sent samples to various companies in the knife industry to evaluate as a blade material. Although many tried, Spyderco was one of only a handful of companies to successfully develop the specialized methods necessary to machine, heat treat, and grind this demanding material to yield reliable, high-performance knife blades.
The modified clip point blade measures 3-1/2". The closed length measures 4-3/4" and weighs 3.8 oz. Made in Golden, Colorado U.S.A. Suggested Retail $384.00.

Spyderco
In 1981, Spyderco ventured into the world of knife making by introducing their first folding knife, the C01 Worker. This knife was the first in the industry to feature a round hole in the blade design that allowed for fast, one-hand opening, now the company’s trademark, and the first to feature a pocket clip. The trademarked round hole is the most recognizable feature of a Spyderco knife and it facilitates the easy opening and closing of these knives with one hand while also offering convenient access and maximum control while opening as well as accommodating large, small or gloved hands.
Spyderco’s recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomically functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. Spyderco’s knives may look unusual, but they will never be called unusable or undependable. When you purchase a Spyderco knife, you are buying a high quality reliable cutting tool that was designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort.
