Description
The Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight takes the award-winning design of the Para 3 and makes it even more carry-friendly. By utilizing lightweight materials and a streamlined construction, Spyderco has created a knife that delivers premium performance while weighing nearly 30% less than its G-10-handled counterpart.
At the center of the knife is a CTS BD1N stainless steel blade, a nitrogen-enriched steel that provides an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. The blade's full-flat grind delivers exceptional slicing performance and cutting efficiency, making it a versatile tool for everyday carry, work, and outdoor use.
The lightweight handle is constructed from fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) and features Spyderco's aggressive Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for a secure, non-slip grip. Its linerless, open-backed design significantly reduces weight while maintaining excellent strength and durability. A stainless steel lock bar insert reinforces the handle and forms the foundation of the knife's dependable Compression Lock® mechanism.
Spyderco's renowned Compression Lock® offers exceptional lock strength, smooth operation, and safe one-handed closing. Combined with the fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™, the Para 3 Lightweight provides fast, reliable deployment and completely ambidextrous operation.
A reversible deep-carry wire pocket clip allows for discreet left or right-side tip-up carry, while a generously sized lanyard hole provides additional attachment options for lanyards and fobs.
