The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is already one of the most celebrated folding knives ever made — now reimagined in a medium that elevates it to wearable art. This exclusive build pairs a hand-forged Copper Damascus blade with a fully matching Copper Damascus pocket clip, creating a unified, cohesive aesthetic that sets it apart from every production knife on the market.

Handle & Hardware

Pocket Clip: Custom Copper Damascus — perfectly matched to the blade's layered pattern
Mechanism: Compression Lock — the PM2's signature ambidextrous, one-hand-closeable locking system
Copper Damascus is a demanding material to forge. Copper's softness means every layer must be worked with precision — too much heat and it burns; too little and it doesn't bond. The result, when done right, is a blade with warm amber tones that shift from burnished gold to deep burgundy depending on the light. No two blades are identical. This is not a production knife — it is a piece made one at a time, by hand, for collectors who understand the difference.
