The Para Military® 2 Salt® expresses Spyderco’s incredibly popular Para Military 2 model in an ultra-corrosion-resistant format worthy of inclusion in our Salt® Series—knives specifically designed for use in and around the water. These elite expressions of the Para Military 2 boast full-flat-ground blades crafted from CPM® MagnaCut®—a state-of-the-art particle metallurgy steel that offers an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and superior corrosion resistance. Their PlainEdge™ blades are paired with handles featuring G-10 scales and nested stainless steel liners. The skeletonized liners form the foundation of their ultra-reliable Compression Lock® mechanisms, while fully configurable four-position pocket clips provide a choice of left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry. The all-black Para Military 2 Salt cloaks its blade in a stealthy Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. Its scales are both peel-ply-textured and machined with Spyderco’s signature Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for an ultra-secure grip. Like its DLC-coated blade, this knife’s liners, reversible four-position pocket clip, and all other hardware are also made from ultra-corrosion-resistant materials and have non-reflective black coatings. For higher visibility, the Para Military 2 Salt is also available with a satin-finished blade and two-toned G-10 scales featuring a black and yellow Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern. Its handle hardware is also crafted from ultra-corrosion-resistant, marine-grade materials enhanced by black coatings. Notes Please be aware that the Blackout variant does feature the peel ply surface texture (like the G10 texture you are already used to used on other USA-made Spyderco models) whereas the yellow/black satin "bumblebee" version has a smooth surface (despite the photo of the prototype). Both feature the "Caribbean" milled handle texture but the black version provides extra grip.
