The Spyderco para 3 black 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® S30V particle metallurgy 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 grip and offer enhanced control during precise cutting tasks. The blade’s signature Trademark Round Hole™ clearly 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 textured G-10 scales. This reduces the handle thickness and provides excellent structural support for the knife’s patented Compression Lock™. Located in the spine of the handle, this high-strength mechanism locks the blade securely open during use, yet allows 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.

Gram for gram one of the most capable folding knives ever made, the Para 3 is destined to be a classic.

    Pricey but.....

    Posted by Rolo on 17th Feb 2017

    Knife screams quality, after a week at work can't really snag it on anything apart from it being so nice that my Mrs is getting annoyed with the click sound of the lock engaging whilst I'm messing around with it in the evening. It is expensive, price does make you think twice, however you can't take it to the grave - so add to cart and you'll be pleased that you did if your a spyderco fan.

    Spyderco Para 3

    Posted by Sharpeye on 20th Jan 2017

    I have only had this knife for 48 hours but so far I am happy. The service from H/H was outstanding. I pre ordered the knife as soon as it appeared on their site and was pleased to received it so quickly. So unusual to get a U.S.A made knife almost as quickly as the American's get it. Thank you Heinnie Haynes. As for the knife. Think Paramilitary 2 and reduce it in size. Same fit and finish . Nice compression lock, nice textured G10 ,nice centering, nice S30V,nice and sharp ,nice lanyard hole. (Oh, I have morphed into Eric). As for the ergonomics, they are very good in my small /medium hands. The edges of the G10 are only very slightly more rounded than the Paramilitary2. Same thickness of blade stock (3.75mm.) and I notice the stop pin is a little thinner at 4.76 mm. vs 5.1mm in the Para2. The height of the blades are the same but obviously of different lengths. The handles are the same thickness(11.45mm.) The clips look identical but coming tip up in the Para3. And finally it Spydie flicks beautifully. I do wish it was more similar in price to it's big brother(or sister) but a very good knife.

    £170 for a three inch folder? Seriously? This is just taking the piss. The PM2 is £40 cheaper! WTF is going on here?
