Spyderco Para 3 Salt Compression Lock Folding Knife Blackout DLC Magnacut/G-10 SPC223GMCBKP

The Spyderco Para 3 Salt Black is built for those who expect uncompromising performance from their everyday carry knife. Proudly made in the USA, this premium manual folder combines Spyderco's proven Para 3 design with next-generation materials to create a knife that's equally at home on the jobsite, the trail, or around the water. Compact enough for daily pocket carry yet tough enough for demanding cutting tasks, it's engineered to perform when conditions are anything but ideal.

Its 2.93-inch clip point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, one of the most advanced blade steels available. Renowned for exceptional edge retention, outstanding toughness, and remarkable corrosion resistance, MagnaCut thrives in harsh environments where lesser steels struggle. The black DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating adds another layer of durability while reducing glare and giving the knife a clean, tactical appearance. With its razor-sharp plain edge and .14-inch blade thickness, it delivers precise slicing performance without sacrificing strength.

Spyderco's signature round thumb hole provides fast, reliable one-handed deployment, while the trusted Compression Lock delivers exceptional lock strength and smooth operation. Designed for both right- and left-handed users, the lock allows confident blade control during opening and closing, making the Para 3 Salt an excellent choice for daily use.

The textured black G-10 handle offers a secure, comfortable grip in wet or dry conditions without adding unnecessary weight. At just 3.4 ounces, the knife carries effortlessly, while the four-position pocket clip provides tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-side carry options. A lanyard hole adds even more versatility, making this folder adaptable to virtually any carry preference.
