Spyderco Para 3 Features The Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight is built around a linerless open-backed FRN handle construction that eliminates unnecessary weight while maintaining a secure high-traction grip through Spyderco s Bi-Directional Texture pattern molded directly into the fiberglass-reinforced nylon scales. A stainless steel lock bar inset into the handle interior forms the foundation of the streamlined Compression Lock mechanism providing a sturdy reliable lock-up that keeps the blade positively engaged during use while keeping overall weight to an absolute minimum. The Trademark Round Hole on the blade spine allows for swift positive one-handed opening with either hand and the reversible deep-pocket wire clip supports discreet tip-up carry on the left or right side for fully ambidextrous configuration. For everyday carry users who want a dependable lightweight folding knife that can be configured to any carry preference the Para 3 Lightweight delivers the versatility and refinement that the Paramilitary line has always been known for. The 2.93-inch CTS-BD1N blade is crafted from a nitrogen-enriched high-carbon chromium steel that offers a superior balance of hardness edge retention and corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless steel alternatives making it well suited to the daily demands of an everyday carry knife. The full-flat grind gives the blade clean efficient cutting geometry across a wide range of everyday tasks and the plain edge maximizes cutting efficiency and ease of sharpening in the field. A generously sized lanyard hole allows for the easy attachment of fobs or lanyards and at 7.2 inches overall and 4.29 inches closed the Para 3 Lightweight rides comfortably in a pocket without the bulk or weight that heavier full-sized folders impose. For everyday carry users who want a refined lightweight American-made Spyderco folder that delivers on every metric that matters the Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight is available now at GrabAGun.
