Spyderco’s line of Para Military knives has been hailed for its ergonomic shape and utility. However, due to their stature, they’ve also been deemed too large for some. The Para 3 is Spyderco’s response to those who requested a smaller version. With all of the functionality of the Para Military 2, but about an inch shorter, the Para 3 is large enough to tackle tough jobs, yet small enough for daily carry. This limited-edition version comes with a CPM-S35VN blade and an earthy brown G-10 handle. The handle is textured for a solid grip. Drilled holes support tip-up or tip-down carry on either side. Jimping on the spine and ricasso make for comfy grip when choking up, too.
