About Spyderco
Spyderco is among the absolute elite in the field of pocket knives.
Character and philosophy
The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Salt embodies a philosophy of maximum functionality, ergonomics, and durability. The PM2 has long been considered one of the best EDC knives in the world thanks to its ideal proportions, excellent cutting control, and safe handling.
The blade made from modern CPM MagnaCut powder steel offers an exceptional combination of high toughness, long edge retention, and extreme corrosion resistance. This makes it an ideal choice for the Salt edition and for use in environments where ordinary steels fail. The satin finish emphasizes the knife’s clean look and working character.
The Compression Lock enables fast, safe, and comfortable one-handed operation without the need to place your fingers in the blade’s path.

Maintenance and care
After use, rinse or dry the blade, especially after contact with water or salt. Regularly check the action of the Compression Lock and pivot. The G-10 handle can be cleaned with a soft brush and water.
To maintain the maximum performance of CPM MagnaCut steel, we recommend using sharpening systems with a fixed angle, which ensure the correct edge geometry without unnecessary material removal.
A very suitable choice is the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF, which allows safe, consistent, and precise sharpening even of modern powder steels.
