Sleek, simple, and fearlessly corrosion resistant, the long-awaited Para 3 Lightweight Salt may be the ultimate everyday carry knife for those who work in and around the water. This knife takes the innovative Para 3 Lightweight platform and supercharges it with a PlainEdge blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut—a revolutionary powder metallurgy stainless steel that offers an incredible balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its open-backed fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle is injection molded in bright yellow to ensure high visibility and features Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texturing for a secure grip, even with wet hands. To complete the package, the knife’s streamlined Compression Lock, reversible deep-pocket carry clip, and all other hardware are all precision machined from ultra-corrosion-resistant materials.

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.

One of the most lightweight models of the Para 3 out of Spyderco, this guy C223PYL comes with linerless FRN handle scales, being dyed a bright yellow in this case. It is equipped with a very responsive favorite CPM Magnacut stainless steel blade, a great all-around steel for everyday use. With a Satin blade and accompanied with a black stainless reversible wire pocket clip and black hardware, this model is a basic yet ready-for-hard-use pocket knife, even in the water.
