Spyderco’s Military Model is one of the most iconic factory folding knives ever made. Designed by Cutlery Hall of Fame member and Spyderco founder Sal Glesser, it epitomizes the reliable, high-performance qualities that have come to define Spyderco knives. Created exclusively for Blade HQ, this distinctive expression of the Military Model takes the classic design to all-new heights with CPM® M4 blade steel and natural G-10 handle scales.
One of the premier steels for top-quality custom blades and knives used in competitive cutting, CPM M4 is a special purpose high speed steel produced by the particle metallurgy process. Its advanced alloy composition, high vanadium content, and extremely fine grain structure give it exceptional wear resistance and toughness-properties that translate to outstanding Edge retention and impact resistance in knife blades. The Plain Edge™ blade of this knife is full-flat ground and distally tapered for a remarkable balance of strength, low-friction cutting performance, and point utility. Its Trademark Round Hole™ unmistakably brands it as a Spyderco product and is fully accessible for quick one-handed opening with either hand.
The handle of this Exclusive knife features stainless steel liners nested into textured natural G-10 scales. The near-translucent quality of the G-10 highlights the lightweight, open-backed handle construction and the structure of the knife's sturdy LinerLock mechanism. To ensure ease of carry and keep the knife poised for a rapid draw, the handle includes a stainless steel pocket clip configured for right-side tip-down carry.
A unique variation of one of Spyderco's most classic designs, this Blade HQ Exclusive is destined to become a highly prized collector's item.
