The Spyderco Para Military series changed the game for mid-sized folding knives when it was released to wide acclaim in 2004. It scaled down the significant profile of the Military to a more pocket friendly size while maintaining the strength and integrity of the original design. Since that time variations and updates have included the Para Military 2 , and the smallest models in the line the Para 3 and the Para 3 Lightweight . No matter which Para Military model you choose, you're guaranteed a solid and versatile folding knife for any occasion.

Which Para 3 Should I Get? ╋

The Para 3 is available in a regular G-10 model or a lightweight FRN edition. The blade size and handle profile remain the same, although the Lightweight is .9 oz lighter and employs a wire pocket clip and a CTS-BD1N blade. It's available in Black G-10 , Gray G-10 , Digi-Camo G-10 , and Black FRN for the Lightweight Edition.
