Spyderco Folding Knife PARA™ 3 Serrated Blade
The Para 3 takes all the proven features and benefits of Spyderco’s
best-selling Para Military™2 and distills them into an even more compact
all-purpose cutting tool. Its three-inch blade is precision machined from
premium CPM® S45VN stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for a
superior balance of strength, point utility, and low-friction cutting
performance. It includes a textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp that
provide a solid purchase for a forward grip and offer enhanced control
during precise cutting tasks. The blade’s signature Trademark Round Hole™
clearly brands it as a member of the Spyderco family and is fully
accessible to allow quick, positive, one-handed opening with either hand.
To keep the Para 3 slim and pocket friendly, it features a lightweight,
open-backed construction style and its stainless steel liners are nested
into machined recesses in the textured G-10 scales. This reduces the
handle thickness and provides excellent structural support for the knife’s
Compression Lock®. Located in the spine of the handle, this high-strength
mechanism locks the blade securely open during use, yet allows it to be
closed easily and safely with only one hand. A four-position hourglass
clip and an oversized lined lanyard hole complete the design,
offering ambidextrous tip-up or tip-down carry and allowing the easy
attachment of fobs and lanyards.
Ounce for once one of the most capable folding knives ever made, the Para
3 is destined to be a classic.
