Para™ 3 Lightweight Plain Black Folding Pocket Knife

Spyderco’s best-selling Para™ 3 Lightweight Plain Black Folding Pocket Knife distilled all the key qualities of their time-tested Para Military™ 2 model into an ultra-compact, carry-friendly format. The design takes another quantum leap forward by incorporating injection-molded FRN (fiberglass-reinforced-nylon)  scales and a streamlined version of Spyderco’s patented "Compression Lock®" mechanism to create the Para 3 Lightweight, manufactured in the US.
Almost 30 percent lighter than its G-10-handled counterparts, the Para™ 3 Lightweight Plain Black Folding Pocket Knife boasts linerless, open-backed construction and Spyderco’s high-traction "Bi-Directional Texture™" pattern for a secure grip. A stainless-steel lock bar inset into the handle’s interior creates a sturdy-lock mechanism while keeping the overall weight to an absolute minimum. The full-flat-ground blade is crafted from "CTS® BD1N," a nitrogen-enriched, high-carbon chromium steel offering a superior balance of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.
The "PlainEdge™" cutting edge features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ for quick, one-handed opening with either hand. A generously sized lanyard hole and reversible deep-pocket, wire clip round out its impressive features. Discreet left or right-side tip-up carry and allows easy attachment of fobs or lanyards.
