Spyderco Reveal 20: 50th anniversary and the Paramilitary 2 Lightweight

With Reveal 20, Spyderco celebrates its 50th anniversary with an extensive line-up of new knives and variations that clearly show what the brand has stood for over the past five decades. This first Reveal of 2026 introduces completely new designs such as the Charisma and Ed Schempp’s Retract, as well as long-awaited updates of iconic models, including the Paramilitary 2 Lightweight and a left-handed Military 2.

Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight

The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight is a lighter version of one of the most recognizable and widely used knives in the Spyderco lineup. This variant reduces weight by more than 25 percent without compromising functionality or safety and, like the other Paramilitary models, is made in the United States. The weight reduction is mainly achieved through the use of fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) for the handle, which is lighter than G10 and provides excellent grip thanks to its distinctive texture.

The modified Compression Lock contributes to the low weight and securely locks the blade during use. For comfortable carry, the knife is equipped with a deep-carry wire clip that supports left- or right-hand tip-up carry. The full-flat-ground blade is made from CTS BD1N stainless steel and is available with a plain edge or a fully serrated edge. The standard version is the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight PlainEdge C81PBK2, while the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight SpyderEdge C81PBK2 is also available. In addition, the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight Black Blade C81PBBK2 will be released, featuring a black-coated blade and matching black-coated hardware.

The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight CPM 15V Sprint Run is a special edition within the Paramilitary 2 Lightweight series that we will see in 2026.

Spyderco Military 2 Left Handed C36GPLE2

The Spyderco Military 2 C36GPLE2 is the left-handed version of the updated Military model. This knife retains the recognizable Military design but is fully mirrored to ensure comfortable and safe use for left-handed users. At the same time, it is a practical choice for those who work with both right- and left-handed knives and want the same trusted performance without compromise.

Spyderco Charisma Eric Glesser design

The Spyderco Charisma C259PBK is an ultra-slim and remarkably lightweight EDC knife designed by Eric Glesser, which, at just 23 grams, is easy to carry every day. The slim design focuses on ease of use and carry comfort, while the fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle provides sufficient grip thanks to its grooves and texture. For everyday carry, the Charisma is equipped with a deep-carry wire clip that can be mounted for left- or right-handed carry, complemented by a lanyard hole. In addition to this black version, variants with a red, blue, and gray handle will also be released: the Spyderco Charisma Red C259PRD, Spyderco Charisma Blue C259PBL, and Spyderco Charisma Gray C259PGY.

This model is designed for use in wet and maritime environments and is built using highly corrosion-resistant materials such as CPM MagnaCut steel. The slim, non-locking design focuses on simple and controlled use, while the black finish provides a discreet appearance. The handle is made from G10 and offers excellent grip thanks to its pronounced texture, even in wet conditions.

The Spyderco Chaparral CPM REX 121 further expands the Chaparral series with a high-performance version. The slim and lightweight design remains intact but gains a striking orange look and is clearly aimed at users looking for a refined EDC with an exclusive character.

Spyderco Chaparral Damasteel, Ivory G10 C152GPDIV

The handle combines G10 scales with a steel frame and is designed for control and stability during use. For everyday carry, the Retract is equipped with a deep-carry pocketclop that can be mounted tip-up for left- or right-handed carry, complemented by a lanyard hole for easy and discreet transport.
