The Spyderco Military C36GPE delivers premium cutting performance with its 4-inch CPM S30V stainless steel blade and ergonomic G10 handle construction. This full-size folding knife combines advanced metallurgy with Spyderco's proven lock-back mechanism for demanding cutting tasks. The modified clip point blade geometry provides exceptional versatility for both precision work and general utility applications.
What Makes This Different
The Military features CPM S30V premium stainless steel, a powder metallurgy steel that maintains edge retention significantly longer than standard 440C or AUS-8 steels. The blade measures a full 4 inches with a modified clip point that balances piercing capability with cutting efficiency. Spyderco's signature round hole opening system allows for one-handed deployment even with gloves, while the lock-back mechanism provides secure blade lockup under heavy use.
