![]() Pocket knife from the Spyderco "Pink Heels" series, which donates a portion of the proceeds to the Society Against Cancer in WomenĬompact EDC pocket knife weighing only 68g ![]() Tungsten and molybdenum have also been added to the steel. These provide tremendous edge retention with a very high degree of hardness. While D2 has mainly chromium carbides for better wear resistance, CruWear also contains a high proportion of very hard vanadium carbides. CruWear was basically developed as a sort of D2 alternative, except that it's an entirely different alloy and manufacturing method. Due to the Micarta used and the CruWear steel, the entire knife will put on a certain patina over time and thus get a very personal look.ĬruWear is an air-hardened tool steel from Crucible Industries, one of the main suppliers of Spydercos steels. Thanks to the reversible pocket clip on both sides, the knife is ideal for both right- and left-handed users, while the large lanyard hole allows the attachment of a safety strap. The fully raised flat grind ensures optimal cutting performance and the fine point allows for even the finest detail work. The blade is made of CruWear tool steel, which is very popular thanks to its toughness and edge retention. This further increases the edge stability of the Micarta. Unlike the standard version of the PM2, the liners on this variant are underlaid and not recessed. This construction makes the Para Military 2 one of the most robust pocket knives the market has to offer. To destroy this lock, the steel liner between the blade root and the pin would have to be crushed, which is virtually impossible. With the Compression Lock, the liner moves between the blade root and the stop pin on the back. At first glance, this locking technology looks like a rear-placed liner lock - but a closer look reveals that this is not the case. Thanks to the attached filing (jimping), you have an absolutely secure grip even in this position and the knife never threatens to slip away thanks to the grippy surface of the Micarta.Īn absolute highlight of the PM2 is the Compression Lock. Really great is the so-called Fingerchoil (an indentation at the base of the blade), which makes it possible to grip the knife very close to the cutting edge to transmit maximum force to the cutting movement. ![]() The incredibly ergonomically shaped handle, is designed for maximum control when working with the knife and allows a variety of ways to guide the blade. Originally introduced in 2010, this all-around knife has been improved over the years so that this cutting tool is now an absolutely mature design. To allow the Subvert to be easily carried and keep it available for immediate access, its handle includes a polished stainless steel pocket clip configured for right-side, tip-up carry.Spyderco fans have been waiting for this for years: a PM2 with Micarta handle scales. A portion of the matte-finished liners is also exposed to allow access to a lanyard hole and to complement the aesthetics of machined accents on the knife’s pivot pin. They are capped by contoured orange G-10 scales and joined by a matching G-10 backspacer that provides additional strength while allowing an easy-to-clean open-backed construction style. The Subvert’s handle is built on a framework of thick, skeletonized titanium liners that give it outstanding structural strength and form the foundation of its stout LinerLock mechanism. The satin-finished blade also has a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ and rides on twin ball-bearing pivot washers that ensure an ultra-smooth one-hand-opening action. Its dramatically styled blade is crafted from CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a broad profile, pronounced belly, and full-flat grind for maximum edge length and extreme cutting performance. We love orange knives, and are especially pleased with this new model designed by Israeli goldsmith and custom knifemaker Nati Amor, the Spyderco Subvert faithfully translates all the key qualities of his handcrafted “Sabotage” design into a premium-quality production folder.
