Product Description

The Para 3

The Para 3 takes all the proven features and benefits of Spyderco's best-selling Para Military2 and distills them into an even more compact all-purpose cutting tool. Its three-inch blade is precision machined from steel and features a full-flat grind for a superior balance of strength, point utility, and low-friction cutting performance.To keep the Para 3 slim and pocket friendly, it features a lightweight, open-backed construction style and its steel liners are nested into machined recesses in the textured G-10 scales. This reduces the handle thickness and provides excellent structural support for the knife's patented Compression Lock.

It includes a textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp that provide a solid purchase for a forward grip and offer enhanced control during precise cutting tasks. The blade's signature Round Hole clearly brands it as a member of the Spyderco family and is fully accessible to allow quick, positive, one-handed opening with either hand.

Located in the spine of the handle, this high-strength mechanism locks the blade securely open during use, yet allows it to be closed easily and safely with only one hand. A four-position hourglass clip and an oversized lined lanyard hole complete the design. Ounce for once one of the most capable folding knives ever made, the Para 3 is destined to be a classic.

This might be the quintesential every-day-carry (EDC) knife. Excellent all-around and pure quality

I have only ever purchased Paramilitary 2's from Spyderco (which I love) but after trying this knife, I must say that it's the absolute perfect next step for me and perhaps anyone else's entry point into Spyderco knives.
It's razor-sharp out of the box and both the S45VN blade and G10 camo scales are top notch quality.
This knife is a keeper and a mandatory addition to any collection or for EDC.

Highly recommended!

Shouldn't have sat on this one

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2024

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I own now 4 different spyderco knives such as Manix 2 Lightweight, Ambitious lightweight w/ spyder edge, Paramilitary 2 and now this one. Even though this is smaller than my Pm2 I could find myself enjoying it just a hair more due to heavy military background and something about it makes me love holding it. The steel isn't the easiest thing to sharpen but way easier than s110v that's on my Pm2.

Update- I've had this knife for awhile now and the s45vn has lasted longer in toughness compared to the s110v steel I had the tip snap off my pm2 now I'm out 236 bucks bc spyderco doesn't cover blade damage 😑

This is bigger than I expected, but the build quality is fantastic. Coming in a little longer than 7 inches, the Para 3 is the perfect size. Handle fits perfectly in the hand, blade cuts like butter, centered perfect, and opens and closes with ease.

Great knife, great brand, easily worth the price.

PM2 but smaller

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

I’ve been buying SpyderCo knives since the mid 90’s. I Was a grunt in the Marines then and a suburban grunter now. I have a PM2 with the digi camo G10 handle, but people wince and jump under desks when I use it at the office. That’s where the Para 3 comes in. It’s the PM2 but less run for hills when you take it out to use it around commoners. I was nervous about the authenticity buying it on Amazon, but it’s the real deal and it, like all new SpyderCo knives out of the box, is razor sharp out of the box. If you can part with cheddar, it’ll cut your cheese. Man that’s cheesy

Buy this knife, it’s great. That is if you can get over the fact the pocket clip placement sucks.

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

The Spyderco Para3 is an amazing everyday carry knife with one exception, that exception is the pocket clip. The pocket clip is terribly placed for tip up knife carry. The clip’s placement causes the knife to ride far too high in the pocket. I’ve ordered an MXG deep carry clip to remedy this problem, however if Spyderco would have designed this small but very important detail better it would be a non issue. If you’re a tip down kind of guy or girl then this would be an excellent choice to order and throw right in your pocket.
