One of my (Nate) everyday carries, the Para 3 is a compact one-handed opener with a ton of functionality and practicality. Everything about the handle just feels right, from the actual frame ergos to the large jimped finger choil. No matter what situation you may be in, the Para 3 is something you know you can depend on. With a compression lock and an uber-smooth opening blade, you might as well chop off one of your hands, because there will be no needing of it once you get yourself one of these guys. From daily hard-use to constant fidgeting, the Para 3 is really all you need in life.

For many users, the best-selling Para 3 represents the perfect balance of compact size, light weight, legally permissible blade length, and full-service cutting performance. To raise the bar even further, this remarkable knife is now available with a blade crafted from Spyderco’s proprietary CPM SPY27 stainless steel. Starting with the time-tested alloy formula of VG-10 stainless steel, SPY27 increases the volumes of carbon, molybdenum, and vanadium and adds niobium and nitrogen. Crucible Industries’ state-of-theart particle metallurgy manufacturing process then ensures a uniform distribution of these alloys throughout the steel for an extremely homogenous microstructure and maximum performance. To clearly identify this knife as a member of Spyderco’s elite SPY27 family, its handle features peel-ply-textured G-10 scales in a distinctive cobalt blue color.
