"The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is a tactical knife with a 3.44 inch blade. The knife is made in USA of CPM S35VN steel."
It's a real knife, and the blade length checks out (to two significant figures), but the manufacturer spec sheet says S45VN steel. Also the actual name is "Para Military® 2".

- p-s-v 1y agothis data is mostly scraped from a few large knife retailers, so should be accurate.
- Retr0id 1y agoIt's unusual for a large retailer to not use the official name of a product
- p-s-v 1y agoshrug, if you search around youll see that isnt true
- Retr0id 1y agoFair enough, I do see it listed under that name on some sites, and there appears to be a S35VN variant too
- shawn_w 1y agoNot in this particular case. Out of the 5 knife retailers I just checked, 4 use Paramilitary in their listings. Only one included a space.
- Zak 1y agoA problem with choosing that specific knife for a spot check is that it has been made in many different steels in various special editions, sprint runs, and dealer exclusives. Here's one in S35VN: https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C81GBNBK2/Para-Military-reg-2-Earth-Brown-G-10-CPM-S35VN-Black-Blade-Exclusive/2208 https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C81GBNBK2/Para-Mili...
