Spyderco Para Military 2 Maxamet C81GPDGY2

The Para Military 2 Reimagined with Maxamet Steel

Spyderco has elevated their best-selling Para Military 2 by pairing its proven design with Carpenter Steel's advanced Micro-Melt Maxamet blade steel. This isn't a casual upgrade—it's a fundamental enhancement for serious users who demand maximum edge retention and cutting performance.

Why Maxamet Matters

Maxamet is an extremely hard, high-speed powdered tool steel originally developed for industrial rollers in steel mills. Its properties approach those of cemented carbides—the ultra-hard materials used to machine other steels. This means:

• Exceptional edge retention that outlasts conventional stainless steels
• Superior strength without sacrificing point utility
• Low-friction cutting performance that makes every cut effortless
• Unmatched hardness for demanding cutting tasks

Built for Performance

The 3.45-inch clip-point blade features a full-flat grind that maximizes Maxamet's capabilities. The plain edge design keeps things simple and effective. Dark gray textured G10 scales provide a secure, comfortable grip, while nested stainless steel liners form the foundation of Spyderco's proven Compression Lock mechanism—reliable, strong, and intuitive to operate.

Practical Details

• Overall length: 8.26 inches
• Four-position pocket clip for carry versatility
• Generously sized lanyard hole
• Made in Spyderco's U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado

This is a knife for users who understand that superior materials deliver superior results.
