The Spyderco Para 3 Salt Black is built for those who demand toughness, reliability, and all-weather performance in their everyday carry folding knife. Designed with precision and proudly made in the USA, this cutting-edge folder takes Spyderco’s legendary Para 3 platform and supercharges it with high-performance materials, making it a top contender for anyone needing a dependable blade for work, adventure, or daily use.
At the heart of the Para 3 Salt Black is a 2.93-inch clip point blade crafted from premium CPM MagnaCut steel. This ultra-tough, corrosion-resistant steel was developed specifically for superior edge retention, toughness, and stain resistance—perfect for tackling harsh environments, from saltwater exposure to heavy-duty cutting tasks. To add even more durability, the blade is coated in a sleek black DLC (diamond-like carbon) finish, reducing glare and boosting wear resistance while giving the knife a stealthy, aggressive look.
True to Spyderco’s signature design, the blade features their iconic round thumb hole, ensuring effortless, one-handed deployment. Whether you’re slicing, piercing, or performing precision cuts, the well-balanced geometry and razor-sharp plain edge make every task smoother and more efficient. At just .14 inches thick, the blade offers the perfect combination of slicing capability and strength.
Lockup is rock-solid thanks to Spyderco’s highly regarded compression lock. Known for its strength and ease of use, this mechanism allows for secure blade engagement while enabling quick, smooth one-handed closing. The fully ambidextrous design makes it ideal for left- and right-handed users alike, ensuring versatility in any situation.
The handle is where form meets function. Made from rugged black G-10, it provides a comfortable, slip-resistant grip with just the right amount of texture for secure handling in wet or dry conditions. Lightweight yet incredibly durable, the handle keeps the knife’s overall weight to just 3.4 ounces—perfect for everyday carry without weighing you down. The addition of a lanyard hole offers extra carrying options, while the four-position pocket clip allows for tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-side carry, giving you the flexibility to carry it your way.
Measuring 4.29 inches closed and stretching to 7.2 inches overall, the Para 3 Salt Black is compact enough for easy pocket carry yet large enough to handle serious cutting tasks. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, first responder, or just someone who appreciates a high-quality, American-made folding knife, this is a tool you can count on when it matters most.
For those who demand a blade that’s tough, corrosion-resistant, and built for the long haul, the Spyderco Para 3 Salt Black stands out as one of the best choices on the market. Available now at the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works—the best online knife store—this premium folder is ready to become your go-to companion for everyday carry.
