Spyderco Para 3 Sprint Run Lightweight C223PBN15V - Satin CPM 15V Leaf-Shaped Blade & Brown FRN Handle Scales w/ Reversible Tip-Up Wire Pocket Clip - Compression Lock Manual Folder w/ 2.9" Blade & Round Thumb Hole | Made in Golden, Colorado USA

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 C223PBN15V comes with liner-less FRN handle scales, being dyed brown in this case. It is equipped with a Spyderco-favorite CPM-15V stainless steel blade, a great all-around steel for everyday use. Finished satin and accompanied with a reversible wire pocket clip, this model is a basic yet ready-for-hard-use pocket knife. 

The cutting performance with a blade crafted from CPM® 15V®, an extraordinary material that offers the highest wear resistance of any cold-work tool steel available today is nothing short of amazing. Containing almost 15 percent vanadium, its unique alloy composition creates an exceptionally high volume of vanadium carbides in its microstructure. The heat treatment developed by acclaimed knifemaker Shawn Houston is superior.
