The look and comfort are fantastic. It’s great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best knive ever! *by L***S on March 18, 2019* I am a retiring police officer of 29 years… And for the first time in my life I’m calling my knife an EDC, before that I just called it my duty knife. I’ve researched survival knives, tactical knives , hunting knives and camping knives since high school. But for whatever reason I have not researched pocket knives very much at all. I’m not sure why other than I read all 24 Tarzan books by Edgar Rice Burroughs and some of them over and over as a kid and fell in love with full tang hunting knives. I I have carried a pocket knife my whole life… I don’t know the year but I know it was quite a while ago I was in a police supply store ( it was a once a week occurrence back then ) looking at the newest gear… That is when I came across a New Spyderco display case and gravitated to it. Honestly my first response was “Hey, what the hell are those”? I was handed an Endura and within about sixty seconds knew I had to have it. Spyderco has been my “ Duty Knife ever since. Btw why all the background... well when I read reviews, especially about things I’m gonna spend a little money on, I like the background of the person that’s giving the rating and I’m writing this for the like minded. Now that I’m going to have to retire due to on duty injuries I’ve had a lot of time on my hands and I have been researching pocket knives… knife steel...brands and EDC reviews written and on video for several months. I wanted to be open minded and not just look at Spyderco even though I love every one I own. I narrowed it down to three brands, Spyderco (of course), Benchmade and Zero Tolerance. I read more reviews than I can count and watched a buttload of videos. Spyderco won out as brand for several reasons...reviews about the quality of knife received, happiness with choice others have made and even the tone of voice used in head to head comparisons. Of course my experience with every Spyderco I have being flawless out of the box.... okay okay I have a little brand loyalty but I consider myself open minded which is how I switched to Spyderco in the firstplace. I wanted S30V steel above ALL others for its well rounded qualities. I narrowed my choices down to the Manix2, para2 and para 3. I ruled out para 3 because I like to carry tip up and the large lanyard hole ( which I Love) prevented tip up carry from riding low in the pocket as well as the fact I have ex large hands. I chose para 2 over Manix mostly due to personal prverence. I received the knife and inspected every square 1/64 th of an inch of it...as always...flawless. Very sharp out of the box. And to me...beautiful...but then I think Glocks are beautiful. I’m a function over form guy and I think high function is beautiful. I love the way the G2 scales feel. I love that my hand fits very well and the I can grip high for more detail cutting. If you wanna pry something get a prybar, if you wanna stab someone get a combat knive or better yet stab yourself. If you want to cut things over and over be able to depend on the knife I say get a Spyderco in the model that suites your needs. 10-7 ## Frequently Bought Together - Spyderco Para Military 2 EDC Folding Utility Pocket Knife - 3.42" CPM S45VN Steel Blade and Durable G-10 Handle, PlainEdge - C81GP2 - Titanium Deep Carry Pocket Clip for Spyderco Para 3, Paramilitary 2 and More Models Knives, Premium Custom-made Pocket Clip with 3 Pieces Screws, Stone Wash --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1871096-spyderco-para-military-2-folding-pocket-knife-plainedge](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1871096-spyderco-para-military-2-folding-pocket-knife-plainedge) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-07*
