The Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight Pink Satin takes one of the most popular and respected everyday carry folding knives on the market and gives it a fresh, vibrant look while maintaining all the performance features that make it a standout. Built on the proven Para 3 platform, this knife combines durability, strength, and portability with a handle color that’s bright, modern, and sure to get noticed. For those who value both function and style, this American-made model is an excellent addition to any collection.
At the heart of the Para 3 Lightweight Pink Satin is its 2.93-inch CTS BD1N steel blade. Known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, this steel offers excellent reliability for everyday cutting tasks. The satin finish enhances the clean lines of the clip point blade, providing both a sleek appearance and smooth cutting performance. Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole allows for quick, ambidextrous one-handed opening, making the knife as easy to use as it is dependable. With a blade thickness of .14 inches, it strikes the right balance between strength and cutting efficiency, capable of handling detailed slicing as well as tougher jobs.
One of the defining elements of the Para 3 Lightweight is the patented compression lock. Positioned along the spine of the handle, this lock design is both easy to operate with one hand and extremely strong, giving users confidence that the blade will stay securely in place during use. The lock also ensures smooth closing while keeping fingers clear of the blade’s path, a detail that adds to the safety and practicality of the design.
The handle is crafted from pink FRN, or fiberglass-reinforced nylon. This material is both lightweight and durable, offering resistance to impacts, wear, and environmental conditions. At just 2.4 ounces, the Para 3 Lightweight more than lives up to its name, making it an ideal knife for those who want to carry daily without feeling weighed down. The ergonomic design ensures a secure, comfortable grip, and the bright pink color gives it a distinctive personality that sets it apart from standard tactical or utility knives.
For carry options, the knife includes a tip-up pocket clip that secures it discreetly and conveniently inside your pocket. A lanyard hole adds versatility, allowing users to customize carry further with lanyards or fobs for quick access or personal style. Measuring 4.29 inches closed and 7.2 inches overall, this model maintains the compact profile that has made the Para 3 so widely appreciated while offering enough blade length for serious use.
Proudly made in the USA, the Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight Pink Satin showcases American craftsmanship and attention to detail. It’s more than just a tool—it’s a reliable companion for everyday life, with the added benefit of standing out visually in a way that makes it as fun to carry as it is practical.
