The Spyderco Military 2 C81MPCW2 delivers premium cutting performance with its CPM Cru-Wear steel blade and refined ergonomics. This folding knife combines advanced metallurgy with proven design elements that have made the Military series a benchmark among serious knife users. The stonewashed finish and brown canvas micarta handle provide both durability and distinctive aesthetics.
What Makes This Different
CPM Cru-Wear steel sets this Military 2 apart from standard stainless options, offering superior edge retention and toughness through its balanced carbide structure. The steel maintains sharpness significantly longer than conventional blade materials while remaining easier to sharpen than ultra-premium powdered steels. Canvas textured micarta handles provide consistent grip in wet conditions and resist temperature changes that affect synthetic materials.
