(3.5 mm) handle material G-10 Spyderco Para-Military2 Gray G-10 Several times a year, Spyderco will manufacture a limited-number run of a select folding knife using newly released blade steels or handle materials. They call these small batches of knives Sprint Runs. A Sprint Run Para-Military2 with a Carpenter CTS-20CP steel blade and a gray G-10 handle is the latest variation to find its way into the Spyderco line-up. The second generation Para-Military2 introduces several refinements over the original Para-Military including a narrower G-10 handle, improved ergonomics, oversized lanyard hole and thinner blade profile. The Para-Military2 comes with Spyderco’s patented Compression Lock (as did the original) and with the long-awaited update of a four-way, deep-carry pocket clip allowing the folder to carry tip-up or tip-down and be adjusted for left-hand or right-hand deployment. Implementation of a new Bushing Pivot System generates fluid blade action when opening and closing and offers improved consistency in manufacturing tolerances. Carpenter specifically developed CTS-20CP as a blade tool steel. Its high vanadium content results in elevated corrosion-resistance and is manufactured with their proprietary Micro-Melt powdered steel technique. The Micro-Melt process enables the finished blade to be machined to an ultra-fine edge with superior surface finish. The Para-Military2’s blade is full flat-ground for optimal cutting performance.
