Lightweight, heavy duty
Spydercos immensely popular Para 3 folding knife distilled all the essential qualities of the legendary Para Military™ 2 into a highly compact and carryable design. Now, this groundbreaking concept takes a significant step forward with the introduction of the Para 3 Lightweight, featuring injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales and a streamlined version of Spydercos Compression Lock® mechanism.
This example has been 'scale swapped' with genuine Spyderco orange FRN scales making for a unique piece that remains 100% genuine Spyderco. Condition is excellent and unused. Complete with original box (C223PPNBK).
"Very cool and unique piece... and remember BD1 is a great steel, it's better than D2 in every way." - Mr. Narwhal 
Made for EDC
Weighing 30 percent less than its G-10-handled counterparts, the Para 3 Lightweight showcases linerless, open-backed construction with Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern in 'cobalt blue', ensuring a secure grip. The three inch, full flat ground ground blade is DLC coated CTS-BD1N steel, making for the perfect EDC companion.
Further enhancing its day to day functionality, the Para 3 Lightweight features a generously sized lanyard hole and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip, enabling discreet left or right-side tip-up carry.
