The Spyderco Para 3 isn’t just a pocket knife, it’s the pocket knife. The kind of blade that makes knife nerds nod in approval and non-knife people say, “Whoa, that’s actually kinda cool.” It’s compact, capable, and, of course, features that iconic “Spydie hole” for one-handed opening so smooth it feels like the knife wants to be open.
This version comes dressed to impress with an ocean-like cobalt blue G10 handle. Grippy enough to stay put, and built to withstand whatever you put it up against (as long as it's not a wood chipper).
The blade? A leaf-shaped, full flat-ground slice of steel wizardry, forged from SPY27: A super steel brewed up by Spyderco and Crucible Industries like some kind of metallurgical moonshine. Packed with vanadium, molybdenum, niobium, nitrogen, and cobalt (a.k.a. the Periodic Table’s greatest hits), this steel is tough, sharp, and downright amazing.
In short, the Para 3 is the kind of knife you’ll everyday carry... and then look for excuses to use all day.
