The Para® 3 takes all the proven features and benefits of Spyderco’s best-selling Para Military® 2 and distills them into an even more compact all-purpose cutting tool. Its three-inch blade is precision machined from premium CPM® S45VN™ stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for a superior balance of strength, point utility, and low-friction cutting performance. It includes a textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp that provide a solid purchase for a forward-positioned grip, offering enhanced control during precise cutting tasks. The blade’s signature Trademark Round Hole™ proudly brands it as a member of the Spyderco family and is fully accessible to allow quick, positive, one-handed opening with either hand. To keep the Para 3 slim and pocket friendly, it features a lightweight, open-backed construction style and its stainless steel liners are nested into machined recesses in the peel-ply-textured G-10 scales. This provides excellent structural support for the knife’s Compression Lock® mechanism, which locks the blade securely open during use while allowing it to be closed easily and safely with only one hand. A four-position hourglass clip and an oversized lined lanyard hole complete the design, offering ambidextrous tip-up or tip-down carry and allowing the easy attachment of fobs and lanyards.
