Spyderco’s best-selling Para® 3 folding knife distills all the key qualities of the time-tested Para Military® 2 model into an ultra-compact, carry-friendly format. The Para 3 Lightweight raises that bar even higher by incorporating injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales and a streamlined version of our Compression Lock® mechanism to create a knife that is almost 30 percent lighter than its G-10-handled counterparts. The Para 3 Lightweight boasts a linerless, open-backed construction and a high-traction Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for a secure grip. A stainless steel lock bar inset into the handle’s interior forms the foundation of its sturdy lock mechanism, while keeping the overall weight to an absolute minimum.
