About Spyderco
Spyderco is a brand that has long set the standard in modern knife making through ergonomics, innovation, and functional design.
Character and philosophy
The Para 3 Lightweight builds on the proven Para 3 design, but with significantly lower weight that you’ll appreciate during frequent carry. The ergonomically shaped handle with textured FRN ensures a secure and comfortable grip even in wet or slippery conditions, while the CTS-BD1N blade offers excellent overall durability and a balanced combination of sharpness and toughness.
This model is an ideal choice for those who want a reliable and lightweight knife with performance ready to face real-world challenges — every day.
