Description
The Spyderco Para 3 takes what people like about the Para Military 2 and puts it in a smaller, easier-to-carry knife. This version has digital camouflage, peel-ply textured G-10 handle scales that match the look of the U.S. Army’s ARPAT pattern. The scales are machined to hold nested stainless steel liners, which back up the Compression Lock that holds the blade open.
The blade is 2.95 inches of CPM S45VN stainless steel with a full-flat grind and a plain edge. A textured choil and thumb ramp help you hold it close to the blade for detail work. Spyderco’s Trademark Round Hole is fully accessible, so you can open the knife one-handed with either hand, and the Compression Lock closes one-handed too. The four-position clip can be set for left or right, tip-up or tip-down carry, and the oversized lined lanyard hole takes a fob or lanyard.
It measures 7.24 inches open and 4.29 inches closed, and weighs 3.4 oz. The blade is 0.145 in thick. Made in the USA.
