The Spyderco Military 2 SC36GPCBL2 EDC pocket folding knife combines the iconic large size of the Military model with one of the brand’s most interesting steels: CPM SPY27, developed specifically for Spyderco in collaboration with Crucible Industries.

This distinctive look is instantly recognisable thanks to the Cobalt Blue G-10 handle, the signature colour chosen by Spyderco to distinguish its SPY27-equipped knives.

The large 10.2 cm satin-finished blade makes full use of the qualities of CPM SPY27. Produced using powder metallurgy, this proprietary stainless steel strikes a particularly impressive balance between edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance and relative ease of sharpening.

The Spyderco Military 2 retains the generous dimensions that made its predecessor’s reputation, whilst incorporating the Compression Lock. This iconic Spyderco locking system allows the blade to be closed without placing your fingers directly in its path.

The textured G-10 handle provides excellent grip and retains the long, ergonomic silhouette characteristic of the Military. The large Spyderco Round Hole, meanwhile, ensures quick and intuitive opening, even when wearing gloves.

This Military 2 is particularly appealing for those who wish to enjoy Spyderco’s large format whilst discovering a steel found nowhere else but at the Golden-based brand.

Tellknives’ review:
This version boasts a feature that the Military 2 models made from more universal steels cannot claim: the CPM SPY27 truly belongs to the Spyderco universe.

Developed with Crucible specifically for the brand, this steel seems particularly well-suited to enthusiasts looking to buy a Spyderco with its own technical identity, rather than simply finding an excellent steel on it that is also used by many other manufacturers.

The choice of Cobalt Blue G-10 is therefore no coincidence. This colour has become the visual signature of the SPY27 models and allows this particular range to be instantly recognised.

We also appreciate the SPY27’s positioning: rather than seeking exclusively extreme cutting performance, it aims for a much more balanced set of qualities for a knife that is actually used, particularly in terms of corrosion resistance, toughness and ease of maintenance.

On the large Military 2, this combination works particularly well; a true Spyderco, right down to its steel and its colour.
