This was the first Spyderco Paramilitary 1 that I ever purchased back in 2005. This knife is the first generation of the Paramilitary family, and it comes equipped with a DLC coated blacked-out fully-serrated blade. This knife is being sold as NEW - and it is a real stunner. It has never been carried and never sharpened. It is being sold without a box (the box was accidentally discarded). For the past 20 years, this knife has been stored in my Spyderco knife case. It is pristine.

Paramilitary 1 knives are becoming scarcer every day with only a handful available on the market at any given time. This knife is the most visually striking and most sought-after variation of the original models. DON'T LET THIS ONE GET AWAY!

Model Name: Paramilitary
Model Reference: C81
Designer: Sal Glesser
Description:  When Spyderco introduced the Military Model years ago it gathered fans like the Pied Piper. Critics claimed it too big, too expensive and more knife than the average user needed. Likewise, fans heralded the knife's big performance attributes and snapped them up, firmly positioning the Military Model as one of Spyderco's top all-time sellers. Carrying a large folder for many is simply a non-issue. For others in our sensitive PC world, smaller equates to friendlier, less shocking, and in some place just plain legal. We arrive back at the question knifemakers ask everyday, "How do we satisfy both worlds and make a smaller knife that acts, cuts and performs like a large knife?" Welcome the Para Military, a two-thirds sized version of the Military Model. Its flat-ground G-10 handle shuns chemicals and temperature fluctuations and expands at the butt-end keeping the hand from slipping off the handle while making hard pulling cuts. The package is topped off with a nested Compression Lock® making the ultimate mid-sized survival knife designed to level trees, carve tent stakes and never generate a second glance.
