Discover the legend of the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 CruWear, a knife that has captivated enthusiasts since its debut in 2010. Renowned for its exceptional design and performance, the Paramilitary 2 has become an iconic staple in Spyderco's lineup.
Originally celebrated for its versatility, the Paramilitary 2 has evolved through numerous special editions, including coveted Sprint Runs and Exclusives featuring a diverse array of blade steels, handle materials, and finishes. Among these, the "Cru-Carta" combination stands out—a fusion of CPM CruWear blade steel and brown canvas Micarta handles.
Born from the success of the Shaman Sprint Run, the "Cru-Carta" pairing quickly became a community favorite, known for its robust performance and distinctive aesthetics. Responding to high demand, Spyderco has elevated this combination from limited edition to a permanent offering in their catalog.
Crafted from Crucible Industries' CPM CruWear, the blade boasts exceptional wear resistance and toughness, enhanced by its unique alloy composition. The full-flat ground blade features a satin finish for optimal cutting performance, complemented by Spyderco's signature Trademark Round Hole for smooth, ambidextrous opening.
The handle of the Paramilitary 2 CruWear showcases brown canvas Micarta scales over skeletonized stainless steel liners, providing a sturdy foundation for the knife's Compression Lock mechanism. With a four-position pocket clip and open-backed construction, this knife embodies both functionality and craftsmanship.
Both the CPM CruWear steel and Micarta handles develop a natural patina over time, reflecting the knife's journey and enhancing its character. For those new to these materials, a little care will preserve their integrity and beauty.
Anticipated by enthusiasts and meticulously crafted in the USA, the Paramilitary 2 CruWear is a testament to Spyderco's commitment to quality and innovation. While meeting demand is a priority, patience is rewarded with a knife that exceeds expectations.
