Spyderco Para 3 - CPM Cru-Wear Steel & Canvas Micarta EDC

The compact version of the immensely popular Para Military 2, the Spyderco Para 3 is a performance-oriented and highly reliable EDC (Every Day Carry) knife. Designed to exceed your expectations in all your daily cutting tasks, this knife combines advanced materials with thoughtful design.

The 7.50 cm drop point blade is made of CPM Cru-Wear Steel with a hardness of RC 60. CPM Cru-Wear, developed by Crucible in 1994, is a high-end steel that excels because of its unique alloy. It offers exceptionally high wear resistance and sharpness retention without sacrificing corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for a reliable EDC knife that can withstand heavy use. Of course, the blade features the widely known Spyderco Round Hole for smooth and easy one-handed opening.

The Para 3 is equipped with the innovative and extremely strong Compression Lock™. Although often confused with a LinerLock on the back of the handle, the Compression Lock works completely differently: it securely locks the blade in the open position by creating a wedge between the pliers and the stop pin. This patented mechanism is considerably stronger than most LinerLocks, and its strategic location allows the knife to be safely closed with one hand, without putting your fingers in the way of the cutting edge.

The handle of the Para 3 (listed as “Military” in the specifications, but this is a typo and should be “Para 3,” as it is the smaller version of the Military 2) is constructed of sturdy stainless steel liners and comfortable Canvas Micarta scales. The stainless steel liners give the knife its structural strength, while the Micarta scales ensure that the knife sits comfortably in your hand. Micarta is a natural composite material with excellent abrasion resistance and fantastic grip, even in wet conditions. Because the scales are not polished, the knife will develop a unique patina as it ages, adding to its character and appearance. The Spyderco Para 3 is finished off with a beautiful four-position pocket clip and a lanyard eye, offering flexible carry options. With an 11.00 cm handle and an overall length of 18.00 cm, this is a solid yet manageable knife weighing just 100 grams. The design is by Sal Glesser.
