Product Review
The Para 3 is a more compact version of Spyderco' s immensely popular Paramilitary 2. It features the same high-strength Compression Lock, textured G-10 scales, and a scaled-down, full-flat ground CPM-S110V blade. This is another solid design from Spyderco that's sure to please those who love the PM2, but prefer shorter blades or live in areas with blade-length restrictions. Premium CPM-S110V blade offers exceptional cutting power and edge retention. Ergonomic textured G-10 handle offers heightened comfort and grip strength. Four-position pocket clip and a lanyard hole provides numerous carry options.
- The New EDC: The Para 3 distills all the features of that best-in-class folding knife into a more compact, carry-friendly package. Ounce for once one of the most capable folding knives ever made, the Para 3 is destined to be a classic.
- Superior Quality: It is made of CPM S110V's high carbon content, advanced alloy mix, and high volume of vanadium and niobium carbides significantly increase the steel's edge-holding properties as compared to other particle metallurgy steels.
- Pocket-Friendly: It features a lightweight, open-backed construction style and its Stainless Steel liners are nested into the textured G-10 scales. This reduces handle thickness and provides excellent support for the knife's Compression Lock.
- Reliable High Performance: The Para 3 traces its history all the way back 2004 to the introduction of the Para Military design. It offers the same proven reliability and cutting performance, but in a more compact, easy-to-carry design.
- Easy-to-Use Lock: Located in the spine of the handle, the Compression Lock's high-strength mechanism locks the blade securely open during use, yet allows it to be closed easily and safely with only one hand.
