Spyderco’s Military Model has set the benchmark for high-performance folding knives for over two decades. Known for its iconic design and exceptional reliability, the Military has remained a favorite among knife enthusiasts and professionals alike. In 2022, Spyderco introduced the long-anticipated Military 2, a second-generation update designed by Sal and Eric Glesser. The Military 2 combines the original’s proven performance with cutting-edge features from Spyderco's Paramilitary 2, enhanced ergonomics, and updated engineering—all while preserving the classic Military profile.
 
The most notable upgrade in the Military 2 is Spyderco’s Compression Lock, replacing the original LinerLock for increased strength and safety. This innovative lock mechanism, located on the handle’s spine, allows secure, one-handed operation without fingers crossing the blade’s path. The blade is meticulously tensioned with a machined bushing for precise alignment, contributing to the knife's smooth operation and durability.
 
To optimize weight and balance, the Military 2 features skeletonized stainless steel liners and a G10 handle with an open-backed construction style. This structure trims weight by 0.2 ounces while maintaining exceptional strength, allowing for easy cleaning and a comfortable, well-balanced grip. Unlike the first-generation model’s single pocket clip position, the Military 2 offers a fully configurable, four-position clip for versatile carry options, accommodating left- or right-hand, tip-up or tip-down preferences.
