This **Spyderco Paramilitary 2** is an amazing pocket knife that is made in the Spyderco factory in Golden, Colorado, USA. The finish is sublime. It opens easily and the famous Compression lock, designed by Spyderco founder Sal Glesser, is solid and easy to use.


The blade on the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is made from a unique type of steel: MicroMelt Maxamet. An incredibly abrasion resistant type of steel, made by Carpenter in the United States. They originally used this type of steel for the rolls over which the different types of steel were transported through the factory. Spyderco is the first knife manufacturer who succeeded in giving Maxamet a heat treatment making it suitable to be used for pocket knives. And the results are amazing. When it comes to retaining sharpness there are no types of steel that can match Maxamet. Maxamet basically always wins.


So are there only good things to be said about Maxamet? No. To be honest, Maxamet is a specialist type of steel with its own characteristics. Maxamet is definitely not stainless and will form a nice patina rather quickly. Look out for fruit acids: rust is always near. In addition, Maxamet is not very tough and it is rather difficult to sharpen. We noticed that diamond stones are the solution!


## Spyderco Paramilitary 2: an ergonomic success story


Spyderco makes knives to be used, not to be looked at. And yet the Paramilitary 2 is a sight for sore eyes. At the same time the ergonomics are no less amazing. Designer Sal Glesser definitely knows what does and doesn’t work. You can immediately see that when you look at this pocket knife.

I am a collector, but I also use the knives and knives that I have, Spyderco cares a lot about the quality of its knives and this PM2 is what is expected, perfect fits and top finishes, great ergonomics;  steel is too early to comment but its factory edge is very good.

Hervorragendes Messer.
Maxamet von Spyderco überzeugt. Bisher ist nichts ausgebrochen und das schärfen ist zwar etwas aufwändiger aber mit Diamantsteinen kein Problem.
Klingengeometrie fördert müheloses schneiden, habe mir gestern erst beim schnitzen eines Keiles für den Axtstiel durch den Daumennagel geschnitten.
Compression lock ist nun mein lieblingsverschluss. Habe bisher Axis-lock bevorzugt, doch dieser ist etwas zeitaufwändiger zu zerlegen und reinigen. Er wirkt, aufgrund der Feder, nicht so zuverlässig und ist empfindlicher in staubiger Umgebung.

There is not much to say about the Para 2, which hasn't been said. It's just a near to perfect edc-knife (in my opinion the Para 3 is therefore better suited, but I have smaller hands as well...), but for sure a working knife which I would trust in. Especially with this steel. It has such an amazing edge retention, unbelievable! Even for a lefty like me, this is the knife to go, if you are only allowed to take one... ;)

The Maxamet steel has not dulled yet having been used for outdoor food prep, opening packaging, wood carving and makes the  PM2  already known for its ergo's, strength, build quality, slicing ability  etc that much better and its currently replaced the S110V Military I carried up to getting it (which is also a fantastic production knife) 
Minus point nothing to do with the PM2 specifically but Its just decent quality knives are so expensive in the UK even if the UK  government permits us to own one for the time being.

General information

value_blade_height

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

value_blade_thickness

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

value_opened_length

value_weight

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

sharpening_angle

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
