Features: The Spyderco Para 3 made a name for itself as one of the best EDC pocket knives out there, and the Para 3 Lightweight made it even better! It is a joy to operate, and thanks to the bi-directional texturing of its FRN handle, it is lighter and grippier than ever. Instead of the classic spoon clip, Spyderco employed a wire clip that is gentler on your pocket, carries much deeper, and further reduces the weight. Youll be hard-pressed to find a better ultra-light folding pocket knife anywhere, so slip this guy into your pocket and learn what it means to EDC with ease! If you like this model, we guarantee you'll enjoy our other Spyderco Para 3 folding knife variations. We offer a range of different handles, blade finishes, and blade steels.
