Review: An iconic pocket knife that absolutely lives up to the hype. - If you're thinking about buying a Spyderco Paramilitary 2, chances are you already know knives. The chances are excellent that you already own a few knives and know what you're looking at. I'm a spyderco nut. I have a half dozen or so with a few kershaws, S.O.G's and a Benchmade sprinkled in. The one that fought it's way to the top of my collection and the one that I just keep grabbing in the morning is the Native 5. I got it as a gift and it is a fantastic knife. It's the first one I've owned with the S35VN steel and it is definitely a hyped steel for a reason. It's been 6 months or so of moderate use and the factory edge is still flawless and I don't see myself needing to sharpen it any time soon. I said all of that to say this, as much as I adore that knife it's going to lose it's spot at the top to this Paramilitary 2. For one, I much prefer the G-10 to the FRN of the Native 5. It has a nicer feel, adds a little heft and just looks and feels like a superior material. Number two, I prefer the blade size and shape on the PM2. That's not really a fair knock on the Native 5 because if you're going to buy that knife then you go in knowing what it is you're purchasing. But for my tastes the PM2 blade shape and size and lack of serrations is what I prefer. I also prefer the way this one locks in to place and releases. Again, it just makes for a classier and beefier feel. Now of course the blade is absolutely sharp enough to shave my wife's legs right out of the box. That goes without saying, or should for any quality knife at this price point. And if you're looking at this knife, chances are you realize that it really is one of those iconic knives that has been around and earned it's reputation. This knife really lives up to the hype. I'm glad I bought it and truth be told I shouldn't have waited this long. If you have the spare cash (I got mine at 109.95 shipped + no taxes) do yourself a favor and jump on it. You won't regret it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An iconic pocket knife that absolutely lives up to the hype.
*by W***S on May 9, 2018*

If you're thinking about buying a Spyderco Paramilitary 2, chances are you already know knives. The chances are excellent that you already own a few knives and know what you're looking at. I'm a spyderco nut. I have a half dozen or so with a few kershaws, S.O.G's and a Benchmade sprinkled in. The one that fought it's way to the top of my collection and the one that I just keep grabbing in the morning is the Native 5. I got it as a gift and it is a fantastic knife. It's the first one I've owned with the S35VN steel and it is definitely a hyped steel for a reason.

This is my favorite knife ever. Stays razor sharp! You can feel how durable it is and it is a great edc. The look and comfort are fantastic. It’s great

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I didn't expect it to be as superior as it is.
*by K***L on September 1, 2025*

The extra quality really is apparent. I used to think people who hyped up expensive knives and steels were just exaggerating, but the S45VN on this is amazing. I bought a Benchmade 550 in S30V at the same time for about the same price, and while I really like how that one feels in the hand and its a fine knife, the blade dulls disappointingly quickly, and I need to keep sharpening it. If it's a game it's a very convincing one. The Para 2 is harder to sharpen but it really just keeps that edge once you do. It really is a different class from any other knife I ever had. Only thing I would say is that I kind of wish I hit the 3 instead. There is a lot of handle on the 2, for he size of the blade, more than I really need, it seems like an unnecessary amount of handle. The 3 is probably more reasonable unless you have large hands. It's harder to open then the Benchmade, you need to adjust the pivot AND pin screws to get the right tension or it is stiffer than I like, and you need to use some blue loctite or risk loosing screws, which led me though a hell of a merry-go-round trying to replace them. Turns out that aftermarket screws don't all use the same threads, and they will fall out if you try to mix them. And the "titanium" screws cross threads extremely easily if you aren't very careful to back them until you feel the thread ends drop together. I gave probably bought 5 new sets of hardware by this point, hopefully now I have figured out all the pitfalls and won't need more. All in all for me I would rate the Para 2 as a bit worse than a Benchmade in ergonomics, and it's just a kind of strange way to assemble a knife, but the quality of the blade is clearly far better, so it's probably better overall. Some nice micarta grips will make it more enjoyable to use as well. Just watch out, the ones I got won't with with the stock clip screws, I needed to do substantial trimming to get the base area for the clip thin enough that the screws could reach the threads. Had none of these issues with the Benchmade. Although I do arm to recall the spring for the axial lock being a real $$%@ when I was trying to reassemble it. Anyway, I would say that if youare hesitating over dropping that much money on a knife, do it, it's worth it. Especially since the price seems to be much lower than it was. I am pretty sure I paid about $200 and it's not even $150 now.
