Originally created to meet the needs of deploying military personnel, the Military Model has since become one of Spyderco’s most popular and iconic knives. Its broad, full-flat-ground blade offers amazing edge geometry and cutting performance. An oversized Trademark Round Hole™ proudly identifies it as a Spyderco product and ensures swift, reliable, one-handed opening with either hand—even while wearing gloves. The blade is paired with a lightweight, open-backed handle construction that features textured G-10 scales, nested stainless steel liners, and a sturdy LinerLock mechanism. This elite version of the Military Model takes the performance of this advanced design to new heights with a blade crafted from Crucible’s CPM® S110V—a state-of-the-art stainless tool steel produced by the Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. CPM S110V’s high volume of vanadium and niobium alloys give it exceptional wear resistance, while its enhanced chromium content makes it extremely corrosion resistant. Like all the knives in Spyderco’s CPM S110V family, the textured G-10 handle scales of this version of the Military are a distinctive dark blue color. To ensure convenient carry and immediate access, the handle also features an hourglass clip configured for right-side, tip-down carry.
