The iconic PM2—now lighter, grippier, and built for all‑day carry.
The Para Military 2 is one of the most recognizable and trusted folding knives ever made, and the Lightweight edition takes that proven platform and trims more than 25% of the weight without sacrificing performance. Its injection‑molded FRN handle scales are lighter than G‑10 and feature Spyderco’s high‑traction Bi‑Directional Texture for a secure, non‑slip grip. Inside, a streamlined Compression Lock keeps the knife strong while contributing to the reduced weight.

Up front, the full‑flat‑ground blade is crafted from CTS BD1N—a nitrogen‑enriched stainless steel known for its excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening. The blade opens smoothly via the fully accessible Trademark Round Hole and includes a textured finger choil and thumb ramp for enhanced control during detailed cutting tasks.

The PM2 Lightweight is available in both satin and all‑black DLC configurations, with your choice of PlainEdge or SpyderEdge. All versions include a reversible deep‑carry wire clip for discreet left‑ or right‑side tip‑up carry, plus a generously sized lanyard hole for fobs or safety lines.
