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. It features a 3-inch blade made from CPM-S30V, which boasts superior edge retention and resistance to corrosion. The G-10 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. You can also upgrade to the black blade or S110V blade with blue G-10 at checkout.
