Spyderco Para 3 Folding Knife Black G-10 Handle CPM S45VN Drop Point Blade SPC223GP

The Spyderco Para 3 Folding Knife with Black G‑10 Handle and CPM S45VN blade is a compact, high-performance EDC knife designed for reliability and versatility. Building on the success of the Para Military 2, the Para 3 delivers the same exceptional ergonomics, cutting performance, and durable construction in a more pocket-friendly package. Its design emphasizes control, strength, and utility, making it an ideal choice for professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, and collectors alike.

At the heart of the Para 3 is a 2.95-inch drop point blade made from CPM‑S45VN stainless steel. This premium steel offers outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The full-flat grind enhances slicing efficiency and ensures smooth, clean cuts, while the satin-finished plain edge maintains versatility for everyday tasks. The blade’s compact size allows precise control without sacrificing strength, making it effective for detailed work or general utility.

The handle is crafted from textured black G‑10 over stainless steel liners, providing a strong, lightweight, and highly durable grip. The G‑10 scales offer a secure, non-slip feel in any condition, while the open-backed construction reduces weight and allows easy cleaning. Ergonomic shaping, combined with the compression lock, gives confident one-handed deployment and reliable blade security. The spine-mounted compression lock is intuitive and strong, ensuring the knife stays locked during heavy use yet remains simple to close safely.

For convenient carry, the Para 3 features a four-position stainless steel pocket clip that can be mounted tip-up or tip-down on either side, allowing users to carry the knife exactly how they prefer. At just 3.4 ounces, it’s lightweight enough for comfortable all-day carry but substantial enough to feel solid in hand. Made in Golden, Colorado, USA, this knife reflects Spyderco’s commitment to quality, precision engineering, and functional design.

The Spyderco Para 3 Folding Knife is a blend of compact portability, premium materials, and ergonomic excellence, making it a versatile tool for everyday use or professional applications. It stands as a reliable, high-quality folding knife that meets the demands of modern users without compromising on performance or durability.
