The most awaited mid-sized survival knife of 2004. When
Spyderco initially introduced our Military Model critics claimed it too
large and more knife than the average user needed. Likewise, fans
enthusiastically heralded the knife's big performance attributes. We
arrive at the question knife manufacturers often ask themselves, "How do
we satisfy both worlds and create a mid-sized knife that acts, cuts and
performs like a larger knife?" Our answer was the Para Military.
The PM is two-thirds the size of the original Military Model. Its
flat-ground CPM-S30V blade stretches 3-3/32" long with the Spyderco
Round Hole generously sized at 14mm for gloved or large hands. Furrowing
above the hole presents a positioning spot for the thumb that's texture,
keeping slipping to a minimum. Nested into the G-10 scale is a
top-seated Heavy duty rated Compression Lock. By inlaying (nesting) the
lock we increase its strength without adding thick and bulky liners. The
handle expands at the front and back for advanced grip retention,
eliminating forward or backward sliding. All steel and curved to keep it
pinned in a pocket, the clip attaches for right-hande tip-down carry.
The ultimate mid-sized survival knife. Made in Golden, Colorado.
Features a 3.09 in. S30V blade and a 4.79 in. G-10
handle. Comes complete with a pocket clip.
