Paramilitary 2 Lightweight SHOT Show 2026

I got an email from Spyderco in the evening (4/28 @ 6:12 pm) and did not see it until the morning and they still had at least one left. I think I filled out a notification on the Spyderco website.

"Para Military® 2 Lightweight Brown CPM 15V® Sprint Run® is available now."​

I thought Sprint Runs were only available from Spyderco directly?
In any event the knife has arrived!
Both versions cut paper about the same.
I will report back in a year on how the edge lasts on both knives.
Cheaper from SMKW but out of stock.
Scalpers want $325 on eBay!

I really like the FRN scales and simplistic design the most.​

They've had some model sprint runs that were indeed available only through them, most recent ones I can think of were the Super Blue Zome Dragonfly and Delica. Generally sprint runs are available through dealers as well though.
 
325 on eBay is wild! That’s before tax!!

NC Blade does have them in stock, and as we surmised the uniform discount does not apply.

Shame really! A lot a people just don’t know any better. Last time I was on EBay …Spyderco exclusives that were still in stock at multiple dealers, were being sold for much higher cost on the platform! Ridiculous!!
 
It’s nice! Mine is perfectly centered with an almost drop shut blade, I’ll probably tighten the pivot a tad. Interestingly..my wire clip came mounted on the left side. There’s a boss built into comp lock side scale, so the bar can’t flex down during cycling. Feels more rigid than P3LW. Just need some black screws and this goes straight into pocket. 😎

I currently use Naniwa Pro stones on a bridge that mounts over my Manor House Sink.
Will I require Naniwa Diamond Pro stones to sharpen this little knife in 15V?
What grit is recommended?
Thanks.

BTW Amazon has Naniwa Diamond stones for much less than sites selling Diamond Pro.
The Pro comes with a dressing stone, other than that, same part #.What is the difference if any?

Did tracking go to your junk folder by chance? I’ve had that happen before.

He puts them up for sale while they’re still incoming from Spyderco! I remember reading at top of page the knives wouldn’t be shipped until the 5th or 6th..if I recall. You should get tracking by tomorrow.
