This **Spyderco Paramilitary 2 C81MPCW2** is an amazing pocket knife that is used in the Spyderco factory in Golden, Colorado, USA Earth. As befits Spyderco the finish is sublime. It opens easily and the famous Compression Lock, designed by Spyderco founder Sal Glesser, is very solid and easy to control.
This is a remarkable version of the Paramilitary 2: the version with a handle made from micarta and a blade made from CPM CruWear. An edition of which you might assume it is a limited edition, but that Spyderco, fortunately, added to the regular range. Great!
The micarta handle offers enough grip and feels great in hand. The great thing about micarta is that it will form a patina, making each knife unique. The greases from your hands will seep into the material. As such it will become darker on its own.
The blade is made from CPM CruWear. A popular type of steel that is wear and tear resistant. As such it retains its sharpness for a long time. Tthis type of tool steel, however, is not 100% stainless. So be careful around fruit acids and salt water. That is why a couple drops of oil once in a while will keep it in great shape. It is enhanced with very thin grind, a perfect *slicer*.
## Spyderco Paramilitary 2: an ergonomic success story.
Spyderco produces knives that should be used not looked at. And yet the Paramilitary 2 is amazing to look at. At the same time, however, the ergonomics are amazing as well. Designer Sal Glesser knows really well what works and what doesn’t, you can tell when you look at this successful model.
