My "dream" knife, almost always in my pocket.
CPM Cru-Wear Steel is a joy to have as it cuts all day and stays sharp, and when you need to, it is very easy to re-sharpen it to where you want it. I always get a good positive lock up with the blade, never a problem, and it just doesn't seem to weigh anything in my pocket. Cru-Wear also doesn't seem to rust or get a patina on it, at least mine hasn't, and I live in Florida, not too far from salt water fishing at anytime. That being said, I am one of those "clean my tools up" at the end of the day people, so it always has a thin film of full synthetic air tool oil on it, and it doesn't stay in the bowl with my key fob and wallet as long as some of my other knives might. The scales are linen micarta, like the feel of an old pair of jeans. For me, they hold up better than most other types I've had. Some "micarta" scales that others sell are as hard and slick as marble, but they were technically micarta from the process use to make them, so you need to check up on the different brands on one of the knife blogs or reviews. The only "thing" with a Para Military 2 is it will be a bit long in the pocket, so I don't carry much more than a car fob in the same pocket, but that's why you buy this knife anyway, for it's size. I bought mine right when it dropped, and other than changing the angle and edge to a very steep chisel grind, and no second bevel, the only wear is the staining of the scales to a darker look, which you can clean back to the "brand new" look I've heard, but I like the darker look because it's a working knife, not something to collect dust on a display shelf. I have a picture from when the Para Military was newish, and I did a side by side with a Spyderco Tenacious with a M4 steel blade, and G10 scales. Don't have a clue why I didn't take a picture with the blades open, but that's life. Just a side note, the Spyderco Para Military 2 with the Cru-Wear Steel Blade and Premium Micarta scales has sold so well, and was the first for Spyderco to have both together in a production knife, that the good folks at Spyderco and their hard core customers dubbed it the" Cru-Carta", and Spyderco has made a huge investment in a bunch of their other standard knives, with the same winning combination of Micarta scales with Cru-Wear blades for the new "stock" knives dropping in 2025, and those new knives are selling just as fast as the one that started it all, your Spyderco Para Military 2, so yeah, it's a great knife for work, or to have just for show. Remember, have fun, but always be safe when you're doing it.

Crucarta PM2. It's awesome!
You just can't go wrong with a PM2. Razor sharp, lightweight, sweet locking mechanism making it easy to flick open and to close. It's a Crucarta PM2. It's awesome. I never thought I'd fall in love with Spyderco, but they just make quality knives. BTW, may need some oil and tuning to dial the action in to your liking. I always tinker with my knives to get them perfect.

CruCarta Perfection
An absolute must buy if you’re looking to grab a PM2. The blade was hair splitting sharp out of the box, the micarta looks fantastic and feels great, the action is butter smooth. Feel great in pocket. In true Spyderco fashion, the lock is superb. 100% buy this CruCarta version of the PM2.

a very Comfortable knife.
I love this knife. It's too expensive for an everyday, ...but I do. I love the size for the weight, not too heavy. I love the ergonomics, it seems to find 'home' in my hand (medium hand, long fingers). I love the micarta scales, like warm worn leather. I love the steel, cuts easy without dulling. I love the blade size and shape, feels sturdy, big enough, not too much belly; nice balance of blade thickness, sturdy but thin enough it still cuts well.

One Knife to Almost Rule them all!!
Its Spyderco What the heck else do I need to say. I am freaky lover of these Para 2's always have been but the linen handles literally made me cry. It's grippy even when sticky....fruit cutting aside this thing was the sharpest blade I've ever bought from Spyderco and the steel they are using is just nuts. Whoever is in the metallurgy department that engineered this alloy I want to hug your neck and slice through the nations in war forever with. The Spydco hole is without question my favorite deployment method in existence.......except the Wave Feature but that deserves an entire six month discussion of reverence on the Ed Wave features. It'll pop open when you need it to no matter if you are a Southpaw or a righty folks. The index finger locking mechanism is still to this day the absolute best I've found. Its easily indexed in total darkness or when your ragged and exhausted. It's form follows functions theres enough weight balanced in the blade and handle to keep it in your hand and not in some one else's. I've run this blade live edged for nearly a month and it's still unimaginably sharp. I shredded cardboard carved bone and it still slices through a fillet minion with butter ease. I took it swimming and neglected the snot out of it, salt water, chlorine, fresh and brine. Its not even a little offended. PREMIUM corrosion resistance is essential for me. Its a living tank of a blade and by far my favorite version of the Spyderco Para 2 line I've tried. I've had clones but the authentic is worth every penny if you can swing it. If not you'd be shocked what you can get from other versions out there. Most durable steel I've yet had. I've used the Para 2's-3's in nearly every form of crisis and normal comfort and they have become an intimate part of my ever day carry. Can't say it enough I love this blade and as I have for mannnny years advocated the Spyderco products.

a classic for a reason
Love this knife. Feels and functions perfectly. Only complaint is that it is a liner lock and not a axis lock, thus not "flickable".

Ormai ho diversi coltelli, anche dello stesso marchio, compreso il Paramilitary 2 con manico in G10 e lama in CPM S45VM che già trovo fantastico. Questo è una chicca, anche se va trattato rispetto al precedente con un attimo più di cura. Ma.... la lama è affilata come un rasoio e tiene il filo (occhio che questo acciaio non è inossidabile come l'SV45M, vd sopra) , il manico è di un micarta di grande qualità, al tatto quasi "setoso", e prende con il tempo una colorazione unica in base alla mano di chi lo impugna. E' robusto il giusto, ovviamente non ci si può fare del batoning, ma è un coltello da usare, come consiglia chi lo ha inventato. E' costoso, ma se dovessi scegliere un solo coltello (bello) da avere, probabilmente sceglierei questo. Lo raccomando ad occhi chiusi...

Das Messer ist von sehr guter Qualität dem Aussehen und dem Gefühl nach. Die Lieferung erfolgte schnell über "La Poste" und DHL. Das Messer ist nicht vollständig rostfrei.

Tre stelle solo per il prezzo osceno a cui viene venduto, quasi il doppio a cui viene venduto in America. Il coltello di per sé è fantastico, eccezionale ergonomia, uno dei migliori sistemi di lock e la lama è in uno dei migliori acciai per coltelli EDC.

Palesemente un falso,anche fatto male!!! Ne scatola nè corredo, manicatura e acciaio diversi dall'annuncio.....un controllo più accurato sarebbe consigliabile!!!

Coltello arrivato non affilato La clip con viti non strette (una la ho dovuta cambiare perché spanata
