Knife people circle Spyderco's reveals on the calendar, and the new one is here. [Spyderco's Reveal 22](https://spyderco.com/collections/new-product-reveal?ref=unknowndivide.com) is live, and the headline is the Para Military 2 Lightweight, finally built as a Salt Series knife with a CPM MagnaCut blade. Around it sits a run of burnt-orange REX 121 knives, a titanium flipper made in Italy and the return of a 1997 travel classic.

Spyderco's own homepage frames the batch as "See what's coming soon," and none of the reveal pieces could be added to a cart when we checked on October 13\. Treat this as your shopping list, not a checkout. Bookmark the product pages below and watch them.

## Para Military 2 Lightweight Salt in MagnaCut

The [PM2 Lightweight Salt](https://spyderco.com/products/para-military%C2%AE-2-lightweight-salt%C2%AE-cpm%C2%AE-magnacut%C2%AE?ref=unknowndivide.com) is the big one. Spyderco says the Lightweight version is more than 25 percent lighter than the G-10 Para Military 2, and its fiberglass-reinforced-nylon handle uses fewer metal parts, which is what made a Salt build possible. The full-flat-ground blade is CPM MagnaCut, a steel designed to balance edge retention, toughness and serious corrosion resistance. You get PlainEdge or fully serrated SpyderEdge, a bright yellow handle that is easy to spot near water, the Compression Lock, a big lanyard hole and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip for left or right tip-up carry. Like every Salt folder, the hardware is marine grade.

## The REX 121 knives

CPM REX 121 is the steel for edge-retention obsessives. Spyderco describes it as a high-vanadium, cobalt-bearing tool steel from Crucible that offers the greatest hardness and wear resistance attainable in a high-speed steel. It shows up twice. The [Caribbean REX Leaf](https://spyderco.com/products/caribbean-rex%E2%84%A2-leaf-cpm-rex%C2%AE-121%C2%AE?ref=unknowndivide.com) takes the Salt Series favorite away from the water with a leaf-shaped blade, nested skeletonized liners, a Compression Lock and peel-ply G-10 in burnt orange, the color Spyderco reserves for its elite tool-steel knives. The [Kapara Sprint Run](https://spyderco.com/products/kapara%E2%84%A2-cpm%C2%AE-rex%C2%AE-121%C2%AE-sprint-run%C2%AE?ref=unknowndivide.com), based on Australian custom maker Alistair Phillips' "Redback" design, gets the same steel and the same orange G-10 as a limited edition.

## Thyn and Navigator 3

The [Thyn](https://spyderco.com/products/thyn%E2%84%A2?ref=unknowndivide.com) takes Spyderco's take on Michele Pensato's Skinny design and scales it down by about 14 percent. lionSTEEL makes it exclusively for Spyderco, with an M390 drop-point blade, ball-bearing washers, both a flipper tab and the Trademark Round Hole, and a one-piece titanium handle with a gray PVD finish, a fatcarbon Dark Matter Polar inlay and a Reeve Integral Lock.

The [Navigator 3](https://spyderco.com/products/navigator%E2%84%A2-3-slipit%E2%84%A2?ref=unknowndivide.com) brings back a compact travel folder first introduced in 1997\. This time it is a non-locking SLIPIT for places with stricter carry rules, made in Maniago, Italy, with a BM390MC blade, a full stainless backspring and smooth gray G-10 scales.

The rest of the reveal includes a Shaman Salt in yellow and black G-10 with MagnaCut, a Bodacious in brown canvas Micarta with CPM CRU-WEAR, a Magpie black-blade byrd, a black-coated Slym and the Pathway Lightweight fixed blade.

## Why it matters

Spyderco itself calls the Para Military 2 an iconic design, and a version that will not rust and weighs less is the kind of update people will actually buy. REX 121 in two production-style shapes is the enthusiast flex.
