Spyderco Para 3 – Compression Lock (SC223GPDBL) A scaled-down evolution of the legendary Paramilitary 2, the Para 3 packs the same reliability and performance into a more compact, EDC-friendly package. This particular version brings a rare, top-shelf touch: a CPM-S110V blade paired with striking "Blurple" G-10 handle scales. A distinctive midnight-blue finish that signals this is a premium expression of an already premium knife. CPM-S110V is one of the most advanced particle-metallurgy steels on the market, with a high carbon content and dense vanadium/niobium carbide structure that pushes edge retention and corrosion resistance well past standard steels. The full-flat-ground clip point blade opens fast and smooth through Spyderco's signature thumb hole, no fumbling, just draw and cut. The Para 3 carries Spyderco's Compression Lock, a high-strength locking mechanism that's easy to disengage one-handed while keeping your fingers safely out of the blade's path. Textured G-10 scales give a secure grip in any condition, and the four-position pocket clip lets you carry tip-up, tip-down, left, or right, whatever fits how you work.
