Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight –

Every gram counts

• only 70 grams light
• good grip
• Deep-carry clip

Spyderco have added a popular model to their ultra-lightweight range with the Para 3 Lightweight. The already brilliant Para 3 has been put on a radical diet – with phenomenal results.

The new Lightweight version with the slightly rounded handle, is fantastic in the hand. With its sensational 70 grams, you can carry it in your pocket almost unnoticed. The handle scales in this version are made of the lightweight FRN plastic (Fiber Reinforced Nylon) that Spyderco has been using for a long time. This material is very robust and offers an extremely good grip. So you can work with the knife even with wet hands safely and accurately, without the one the Para 3 to slip.

For the blade, the manufacturer from Colorado relies on the CTS BD1N steel, which is also used for example in the UKPK. This nitrogen-alloyed steel offers excellent prerequisites for a good all-round steel. On the one hand, it takes on enormous sharpness and can still be resharpened easily. In addition, this alloy is absolutely insensitive to rust.

As with the normal Para 3, the popular Compression Lock is used to lock the blade, which can be easily and safely operated via the back of the blade.

Together with the deep-carry clip, you have a knife here that exudes a real tool character and simply wants to be used. The light weight, versatile steel and fantastic hand placement make this cutting tool a real workhorse.

So out of the cabinet and into life.
