The Spyderco Para 3 C223GPCMOBK delivers premium cutting performance in a compact everyday carry package. This folding knife combines the proven reliability of CPM S30V steel with tactical aesthetics that perform under pressure. The black DLC coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance while reducing glare in tactical situations.
What Makes This Different
The Para 3 represents Spyderco's refined approach to compact tactical folders, featuring a shorter 2.95-inch blade compared to the full-size Paramilitary 2's 3.42-inch profile. The CPM S30V stainless steel maintains a sharp edge significantly longer than standard 440C or AUS-8 alternatives. Black Diamond-Like Carbon coating adds a hardness rating of 70-80 HRC to the blade surface, creating exceptional wear resistance that outlasts standard powder coating by 300-400%.Key Features
