Spyderco Para 3 Compression Lock Knife Black G-10 3" Stonewash Blade C223GP

The Spyderco Para 3 is a compact, high-performance folding knife that builds on the proven legacy of the popular Para Military 2. Designed for users who prefer a shorter blade or live in areas with blade-length restrictions, the Para 3 retains all the key features that make the PM2 a standout. Its 3-inch clip point blade is crafted from premium CPM S45VN stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The full-flat grind and stonewashed finish enhance cutting performance while reducing glare. Spyderco’s Compression Lock® mechanism ensures secure one-handed operation, and the textured black G-10 scales offer a reliable grip under any conditions. The knife is fully ambidextrous, thanks to the four-position pocket clip and thumb hole opener, making it ideal for everyday carry. With a solid, ergonomic design and U.S.-made quality, the Para 3 is a trusted choice for those seeking a rugged, compact EDC folder.
