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 supercharged with SPY27 steel. SPY27 has been developed especially for Spyderco, the steel is rich in cobalt providing truly outstanding levels of edge retention whilst retaining excellent toughness and resistance to corrosion, 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.
