Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight - Fully Serrated

The Spyderco Para 3 distills all the key qualities of the time tested Paramilitary 2 into an ultra compact, carry friendly format, and the Para 3 Lightweight takes that even further. By swapping to injection molded fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN) scales and a streamlined version of the Compression Lock, this version comes in almost 30 percent lighter than its G-10 handled counterparts, making it one of the easiest knives around to forget you're even carrying.

The three inch full flat ground blade is crafted from CTS BD1N, a nitrogen enriched high carbon chromium steel that offers a superior balance of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its tumbled blade carries Spyderco's fully serrated edge from tip to choil, purpose built to power through tough, fibrous materials like rope, cardboard, and webbing with ease. The fully accessible Trademark Round Hole allows swift, positive, one handed opening with either hand, while the linerless open backed construction and high traction Bi-Directional Texture pattern keep the knife light and secure in hand.

A generously sized lanyard hole and a reversible deep pocket wire clip round out the design, providing discreet left or right side tip up carry and easy attachment of fobs or lanyards.
