The Para 3 merges the tried-and-true attributes of Spyderco's acclaimed Para Military™2 into a more compact format, serving as a versatile tool for various cutting tasks. It features a three-inch blade crafted from high-quality CPM® S45VN stainless steel, ensuring a well-balanced blend of durability, sharpness, and smooth cutting.
The blade is designed with a full-flat grind, an index finger choil, and a thumb ramp, providing a secure grip and precise control for detailed cutting work. This knife is easily identifiable as a Spyderco product, thanks to its signature Trademark Round Hole™, which facilitates quick and effortless one-handed opening with either hand. Designed for convenience and ease of carry, the Para 3 boasts a slim, pocket-friendly profile with its lightweight, open-backed structure.
Its stainless steel liners, integrated seamlessly into the G-10 scales, reduce the handle's bulk and reinforce the knife's structural integrity. This design supports the Compression Lock® mechanism on the handle's spine, which secures the blade reliably in the open position and allows for safe, one-handed closing. The Para 3's design comprises a versatile four-position hourglass clip and a generously sized lined lanyard hole.
These features offer flexible carrying options—tip-up or tip-down—and make it easy to attach fobs and lanyards, enhancing the knife's functionality and accessibility.
