Spyderco SMKW Custom Para 3 Brass SPC223GPBR

The Spyderco SMKW Custom Para 3 Brass takes one of Spyderco’s most respected everyday carry platforms and elevates it with a bold, refined material upgrade that blends hard-use performance with timeless style. Built on the proven Para 3 foundation, this custom edition delivers the same trusted cutting capability and ergonomic control Spyderco is known for, now wrapped in the warm, weighty presence of solid brass.
At the center of this knife is a 3-inch clip point blade crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel. Known for its exceptional balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, S30V remains a benchmark steel for serious EDC users. The clip point profile offers a highly functional cutting geometry, combining a strong, precise tip for detail work with a versatile belly that handles slicing tasks with ease. Finished in a clean satin polish, the blade reflects light with a subtle, professional sheen that highlights its premium grind lines without unnecessary flash.
Deployment is fast and intuitive thanks to Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole, allowing smooth one-handed opening whether you're in the shop, on the job, or out in the field. Once deployed, the compression lock provides rock-solid blade security with impressive ease of use. Positioned along the spine of the handle, this lock design allows for safe disengagement without placing fingers in the path of the blade, delivering both strength and user confidence in a compact folding platform.
What sets this SMKW Custom Para 3 apart is its striking brass handle construction. The solid brass scales bring a substantial, grounded feel in hand, adding both visual character and a satisfying weight that reinforces its premium nature. Over time, the brass will naturally develop a patina, giving each knife a unique evolving finish that reflects its use and ownership. It’s a material choice that blends old-world character with modern tactical design, making this Para 3 stand out in any collection or rotation.

Practicality remains front and center with a four-position pocket clip, allowing for fully customizable carry options to suit any preference or environment. Whether tip-up, tip-down, left, or right-hand carry, the Para 3 adapts easily to the user. Measuring 4.25 inches closed and 7.125 inches overall, it maintains the compact footprint that has made the Para 3 one of Spyderco’s most popular EDC knives.
The Spyderco SMKW Custom Para 3 Brass is a rugged, refined folder that combines elite blade steel, proven design, and striking materials into a truly distinctive everyday carry piece.
