Spyderco: Para 3 Lightweight | Black/Black
Spyderco’s best-selling Para® 3 folding knife distills all the key qualities of the time-tested Para Military® 2 model into an ultra-compact, carry-friendly format. The Para 3 Lightweight raises that bar even higher by incorporating injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales and a streamlined version of our Compression Lock® mechanism to create a knife that is almost 30 percent lighter than its G-10-handled counterparts. The Para 3 Lightweight boasts a linerless, open-backed construction and a high-traction Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for a secure grip. A stainless steel lock bar inset into the handle’s interior forms the foundation of its sturdy lock mechanism, while keeping the overall weight to an absolute minimum. The knife’s full-flat-ground blade is crafted from CTS® BD1N, a nitrogen-enriched high-carbon chromium steel that offers a superior balance of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.
The tumble-finished blade features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ for swift, positive, one-handed opening with either hand. A generously sized lanyard hole and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip round out its impressive features, providing discreet left or right-side tip-up carry and allowing the easy attachment of fobs or lanyards.
All-black knife with a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) blade coating and matching black-coated handle hardware.
