Spyderco Para 3 Sprint Run - CPM 15V Steel & FRN Grip

The Spyderco Para 3 Sprint Run is a limited edition and more compact version of the immensely popular Para Military 2. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a knife with an exceptional steel designed for the demanding user seeking uncompromising performance.

The 7.50 cm drop point blade is made of CPM 15V steel with an impressive hardness of RC 63. Developed in the early 1990s, CPM 15V is distinguished by the use of as much as 15 percent vanadium. This results in fantastic wear resistance and exceptional retention of sharpness, keeping the blade sharp longer than most other steels. Of course, the blade features the widely known Spyderco Round Hole for smooth and easy one-handed opening. Note: Although CPM 15V is extremely hard-wearing, it is more susceptible to corrosion, which means the knife may start to tarnish if not properly maintained.

The Para 3 is equipped with the patented 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 tang and the stop pin. This 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, measuring 11.00 cm in length, is made of injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN). This material is not only surprisingly light (the entire knife weighs only 66 grams), but also very robust and resistant to many chemicals. The integrated pattern in the handle provides a fantastic grip, even in wet conditions. The Spyderco Para 3 is finished with a reversible Tip-Up wire clip and a lanyard eye, providing flexible carrying options for various carrying preferences. With an overall length of 18.00 cm, this is a balanced and powerful pocket knife. The design is by Sal Glesser.
