Military 2 Black G-10, Black DLC Plain second edition, continuously produced for over 25 years, of Spyderco's iconic Military model. Stronger, intuitive Compression Lock, reinforced steel liners, same aggressive look and excellent utility! A demonstration of the craftsmanship of father and son Sal and Eric Glesser!

One of Spyderco's most recognizable knives, it has gained a slew of followers both in the military and among civilian customers. The full-size handle makes it easy to use the folder with gloves as well as those with large hands. The reinforced, open design makes it easy to clean and adjust the folder. Manufactured at the Spyderco factory in the USA (Golden, Colorado).

CPM S30V - one of the best knife steels, corrosion resistant, mechanical stress resistant American CPM S30V martensitic powder steel with added carbon, chromium and vanadium with a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Developed by Dick Barber of Crucible Industries in collaboration with knife maker Chris Reeve to offer the best combination of strength, abrasion and corrosion resistance. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries according to the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. The CPM process yields a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The alloy contains 1.45% carbon (C) and a significant admixture of vanadium carbides 4.0% (V) and chromium 10.5% (Cr). Thanks to its properties, it holds sharpness for a very long time and provides high corrosion resistance.

Compression-Lock - (similar to Liner-Lock) Blade locking mechanism patented by Spyderco (made in USA). Extremely durable, it provides extreme strength and ease of use. Located on the back of the Handle, it protects the knife from inadvertent locking. When releasing the lock, the fingers are not in the path of the folding Blade.

DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) durability of the blade's surface is enhanced with a matte black nanocomposite coating, which exhibits the unique properties of natural diamonds, such as exceptional hardness and low friction, also resistance to corrosion. It is one of the most resistant coatings to scratches and abrasion that are used in the industry, including the knife industry.

Blade - modified Clip Point profile with enlarged 14 mm SpyderHole notch (Spyderco patent) allowing quick opening of the knife also with a glove, enlarged thumb ramp with notches (spine jimping), which helps control the large blade. Index Finger Choil (notched profiled undercut for the index finger between the Handle and the cutting edge), prevents the folder from sliding in the hand when making powerful cuts. The Plain smooth blade combined with a full flat grind (Full Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Blade has been coated with a superior DLC coating.

Handle - full-length, profiled, covered with lightweight, non-slip textured grips made of durable, temperature- and chemical-resistant G-10 composite (pressure-pressed fiberglass with synthetic resin) screwed to steel liners. The folder is equipped with a screw-on metal clip with 4-way clip positions (up/down, right/left). In the rear part of the grip an enlarged hole (lanyard hole) for pulling a lanyard or safety line.
