Explore the Evolution of Excellence: Spyderco Military Model and the All-New Military 2 at KnifeHub.com!
Spyderco Military Model: A Legacy Unveiled in 1996 Witness the legacy of the Spyderco Military Model, a true icon in the world of folding knives. Crafted by Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser, this design was born from the question, "If your son was going into military service, what knife would you give him?" The result was a masterpiece featuring a broad, full-flat-ground blade, open-backed handle construction, and the user-friendly LinerLock mechanism. The oversized Trademark Round Hole ensures swift, ambidextrous, one-handed opening, even with gloves.
The Military Model quickly became a signature Spyderco design, resonating with users worldwide. With blade steel transitions from ATS-34 to CPM-S60V and eventually CPM-S30V, coupled with various handle options like digital camouflage G10 scales, it became a benchmark in knife industry history. Over the years, it evolved with different aesthetic variations, limited editions, and exclusive expressions, making it a collector's dream.
Introducing the Military 2: A New Chapter in Excellence Fast forward to the 2022 BLADE Show, where Spyderco unveiled the eagerly awaited second-generation Military 2. Co-designed by Sal Glesser and his son Eric, this model incorporates proven features from the Paramilitary 2 while introducing subtle ergonomic refinements.
Notable Improvements:
- Compression Lock Mechanism: Replacing the LinerLock for enhanced strength and security.
- Precision-Machined Bushing: Ensures exact alignment and tensioning of the blade.
- Larger Stainless Steel Liners: Nested within peel-ply-textured G10 scales for structural strength and a balanced feel.
- Open-Backed Construction: Featuring skeletonized liners and stainless steel standoffs for reduced weight and easy cleaning.
- Configurable Pocket Clip: Four-position clip for left or right-side, tip-up, or tip-down carry, catering to individual preferences.
- Ergonomic Enhancements: Slightly larger 50/50 index-finger choil and narrowed handle portions for improved control and comfort.
Elite Expression: Military 2 S110V Highlighting the pinnacle of this design is the Military 2 S110V variant. Crafted from premium CPM-S110V stainless steel, known for exceptional wear resistance, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The dark blue peel-ply-textured G10 handle scales add a touch of sophistication, making it a high-performance, eye-catching tool.
