Para Military 2 Black G10, Black DLC the second generation of one of the most popular Spyderco knives, the compact version of the Military folder with the head covered with a non-reflective DLC coating. Improved technically - improved ergonomics of the handle (thinner, narrowed at the end) - elongated tip of the blade - enlarged hole for the cable - four position clip. Reinforced fully dismountable construction combined with torx screws facilitates cleaning, adjustment of the folder. Produced at the Spyderco factory in the USA (Golden, Colorado).
CPM S45VN - American martensitic high-alloy stainless steel with a hardness of 59-61 HRC, one of the best steels for blades. Designed to provide better strength compared to CPM S30V, while keeping corrosion resistance at the highest level. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The chemical composition has been balanced so that it is composed of 0.5% niobium carbides (Nb) along with 3.0% vanadium (V) and 14.0% chromium (Cr) carbides. The improved strength of CPM S45VN also provides better resistance to edge chipping.
Compression-Lock - (similar to Liner-Lock) patented by the company Spyderco (made in the USA) mechanism blocking the blade. Extremely durable, provides extreme strength and ease of use. The handle on the back protects the knife against unintentional closing. When locking, the fingers are not in the way of the folding blade.
Blade - laser cut with a modified Clip Point profile, 3.7 mm thickness. The blade is covered with a scratch-resistant matt, non-reflective DLC (Diamond Like Coating) coating in black color. Smooth blade (Plain type) was made with a full flat cut (Full Flat Grind) that increases cutting properties and reduces the weight of the knife. An enlarged 14 mm round SpyderHole cut-out (Spyderco patent) allows you to open the knife also in the glove. A notched thumb ramp and Finger Choil (profiled undercut finger between the handle and the cutting edge) make it easier to control the knife.
Handle - covered with non-slip textured pads made of G-10 plastic (durable, resistant to high and low temperatures, chemicals) screwed to steel liners using torx screws. The folder is equipped with a screwed metal clip with the possibility of mounting in four planes (up / down, right / left). 4-way clip positions. In the back of the grip, an enlarged hole (lanyard hole) to pull the leash or safety rope.
