Spyderco Military 2 Carbon CPM S90V C36CFP2 Black Carbon, Sprint Run 2023 pocket knife

The Spyderco Military 2 Carbon CPM S90V C36CFP2 Black Carbon, Sprint Run 2023 is a large and sturdy pocket knife for various applications. This is an upgraded version with CPM S90V steel. This knife was designed in 1996 by Sal Glesser, the founder and owner of Spyderco. His goal was to develop a light-weight folding knife for general military use which could actually handle the task. Considering the popularity of the Military he was very successful in achieving his goals. The Military 2 is a variation of the first version. The first version has a linerlock, but this model has a compression lock on the back of the knife.



The Spyderco Military 2 Carbon CPM S90V C36CFP2 Black Carbon, Sprint Run 2023 pocket knife is a hefty EDC knife in the colour black. With its blade length of 10.2 cm, it’s especially suited for demanding cutting tasks. This is not a compact knife! When closed, it measures 14 cm in length and it weighs 115 g.



Opening the Spyderco Military 2 Carbon CPM S90V C36CFP2 Black Carbon, Sprint Run 2023 pocket knife with one hand is very easy thanks to the thumb hole. Once opened, the sturdy Compression Lock ensures that the blade is locked and won’t accidentally close during use. The Compression Lock is an invention by Sal Glesser and his son Eric Glesser ofSpyderco. In terms of operation, it’s kind of like a reverse liner lock. However, in practice, the Compression Lock is much stronger. This is because the lock wedges laterally between the blade tang and the stop pin, rather than just making contact with the blade. What’s more, a Compression Lock has a very high ‘fidget factor’.

It offers incredible sharpness retention, so you’ll rarely need to sharpen it. Moreover, it is corrosion resistant, so maintenance is a breeze.



The blade of this knife is enhanced with a ‘satin finish’. This is a chic and tasteful finish that is very popular.



Carbon-fibre handle

The handle of this Spyderco Military 2 Carbon CPM S90V C36CFP2 Black Carbon, Sprint Run 2023 pocket knife is made of carbon fibre, and measures 14 cm in length. Carbon fibre is an incredibly strong material. For the handles of pocket knives, carbon fibre sheet material is used. The carbon fibres, often first woven, are pressed into a strong resin under high pressure. The result is a super strong, lightweight material. It is no coincidence that this type of carbon fibre is also very popular in the construction of sports cars and racing cars, as well as in the aerospace industry.

Carbon fibre is a fantastic material for a knife handle, as it keeps the handle nicely lightweight without having to compromise on strength. Moreover, carbon fibre looks amazing. The layers in the material give carbon fibre a high-tech look.



Designed by Sal & Eric Glesser
This knife was designed by an absolute dream team: Sal and Eric Glesser. This father-son duo is integral to Spyderco. Sal founded the company in 1976, Eric grew up in the family business. What could be better for a father and son than working on projects together? That’s exactly what they did when designing this Spyderco Military 2 Carbon CPM S90V C36CFP2 Black Carbon, Sprint Run 2023 pocket knife.



Spyderco: great pioneer in the world of knives
Spyderco is one of the world’s leading knife companies. Many innovations were made by this brand, think of the pocket clip, the thumb hole, a large range of locking mechanisms, but also steel types. It’s safe to say the knife world would have looked very different indeed without Spyderco.

Spyderco was founded in 1976 by Sal and Gail Glesser. Interestingly, they didn’t start out selling knives. The first product Sal and Gail sold was a soldering tool, which they sold travelling around markets. Then came a sharpening system, causing Sal to start experimenting with pocket knives. In his quest for a knife that was easier to open with one hand, he came up with the idea for a round thumb hole while experimenting. A stroke of pure genius.

Today, the next generation is at the helm of Spyderco. Eric Glesser, the son of Sal and Gail, works hard every day to further establish Spyderco as a leading knife brand.
