SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight Salt Yellow takes one of Spyderco’s most popular designs and elevates it with cutting-edge materials, vibrant styling, and the kind of build quality that’s made in the USA. This version features a 2.93-inch serrated CPM MagnaCut blade—a game-changing steel known for its outstanding corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness. Whether you’re tackling a task in wet environments or just need something that won’t quit during daily carry, MagnaCut is built to perform. The fully serrated edge adds extra bite, making quick work of rope, webbing, or fibrous materials, while the satin finish gives the blade a clean, refined look.
You’ll recognize Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole right away. It’s a hallmark of the brand and ensures quick, one-handed deployment without any fuss. Lockup is solid thanks to the compression lock mechanism, a favorite among knife enthusiasts for its strength, simplicity, and the added safety of keeping your fingers out of the blade’s path during closure.
The handle is crafted from bright yellow FRN—fiberglass-reinforced nylon—which isn’t just lightweight and durable, it’s also highly textured for a secure grip in any condition. That yellow color isn’t just eye-catching—it’s easy to locate if you drop it in the grass or among your gear. This knife is made to be used and found when you need it most. Weighing only 2.4 ounces, it’s a joy to carry all day without weighing you down.
Designed for everyday carry, the Para 3 Lightweight Salt features an ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip, allowing both left- and right-handed users to carry it comfortably. There’s also a lanyard hole for added versatility, whether you want to tether it to your pack or add a personal touch. When closed, the knife measures 4.29 inches and opens up to a full 7.2 inches. At just 0.14 inches thick, the blade balances durability and slicing efficiency beautifully, making it an ideal choice for both utility and personal use.
This knife isn’t just built tough—it’s built proudly in the USA. Every detail reflects Spyderco’s dedication to craftsmanship and innovation.
