SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight is a compact yet high-performing folding knife designed to handle everyday cutting tasks with exceptional precision. Proudly made in the USA, this knife embodies Spyderco’s commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and durability.
At the heart of the Para 3 Lightweight is a 2.92-inch CTS-BD1N stainless steel blade, engineered for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and strength. Its full-flat grind ensures optimal slicing performance, while the black diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating minimizes reflection and adds an extra layer of protection against wear. The blade’s clip-point profile provides versatility, making it equally effective for precision work and more rugged cutting demands. The opening is fast and reliable thanks to Spyderco’s iconic round thumb hole, ensuring smooth, one-handed deployment.
Spyderco’s Compression Lock mechanism enhances the Para 3 Lightweight’s safety and functionality. Known for its strength and ease of use, the lock provides a solid, reliable hold during use while allowing for quick, one-handed closure when the task is complete. The blade is housed within black fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handles that offer exceptional durability without adding unnecessary weight. The ergonomic design ensures a secure grip, providing comfort and control during prolonged use. At just 2.5 ounces, the Para 3 Lightweight delivers impressive strength in a highly portable design.
Attention to detail is evident throughout. The screws, along with the deep-pocket, reversible tip-up clip, feature a matching black non-reflective coating to complement the blade’s finish. This ambidextrous design allows for discreet, convenient carry and makes the Para 3 Lightweight ideal for both right- and left-handed users. A lanyard hole further enhances carry options, ensuring this knife is always ready for quick deployment.
Built for professionals, enthusiasts, and everyday users alike, the Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight balances performance, portability, and toughness in a rugged yet refined package. It’s a knife that doesn’t compromise, delivering exceptional utility and reliability whenever you need it.
