Detailed product description
🗡️ Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight C223PBK Folding Knife
Lightness, performance, and pure functionality.
The Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight is a modern interpretation of the legendary Para 3 series, designed to deliver maximum performance with minimal weight. This model combines precise construction, high-performance steel, and the ergonomics typical of Spyderco — all in a lightweight and comfortable design you’ll appreciate most during everyday carry.
