The Spyderco Military 2 C36GPBK2 delivers premium cutting performance with its 4-inch CPM S30V stainless steel blade and tactical black DLC coating. This full-size folding knife combines superior edge retention with the reliability demanded by professionals and serious users. The textured G10 handle provides secure grip control in all conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Military 2 features premium CPM S30V steel that maintains sharpness significantly longer than standard stainless grades. The black Diamond-Like Carbon coating reduces friction and provides corrosion resistance beyond typical blade treatments. At 4 inches, the blade length exceeds most tactical folders while maintaining legal carry dimensions in most jurisdictions. The compression lock mechanism offers stronger blade lockup than traditional liner locks.
