The Para 3 folder model was designed through the original concept of the ever-so-popular Spyderco Paramilitary series but never quite made it into production. At last, after much anticipation and suggestions from the beloved family of Spyderco lovers worldwide, the Para 3 is ready to launch into the hands of the consumer. The Paramilitary 2 has been regarded as one of the most popular folder knives ever created and so the Spyderco Para 3 offers the same exceptional performance and reliability but in a more compact and pocket-friendly design. Each model features a premium stainless steel blade that is supported by Spyderco's patented Compression Lock mechanism--allowing users to safely close the blade with one hand without ever having the operating hand come near the cutting edge. Much like the design of Paramilitary 2, it still features a slightly flared handle base as well as the integrated jimping which provides increased control with any cutting job. This model, the C223GPBK, features a black G-10 handle, a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) black finished clip point blade, Spyderco's trademark round hole opening feature and an ambidextrous 4-way positional pocket clip which allows for a tip up or tip down carry option on either side of the handle. Made in the USA.
