Spyderco Para 3 C223GPDBL CPM S110V Steel Dark Blue G10 Handle

The Spyderco Para 3 C223GPDBL delivers premium cutting performance in a compact everyday carry package. This folding knife features CPM S110V super steel that maintains razor-sharp edges longer than standard blade materials. The dark blue textured G10 handle provides secure grip control in wet conditions while keeping overall weight minimal.

What Makes This Different

CPM S110V steel contains niobium carbides that create exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance superior to common stainless steels. The Compression Lock mechanism allows one-handed operation while preventing accidental closure under heavy cutting loads. At 2.95 inches, the blade length maximizes cutting capability while remaining legal in most jurisdictions that restrict longer knives.

Key Features

• CPM S110V premium stainless steel blade with superior edge retention
• 2.95-inch plain edge blade in satin finish
• Dark blue textured G10 handle scales for enhanced grip
• Compression Lock for secure one-handed operation
• Four-position pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry
• 13/32-inch blade stock thickness for robust cutting tasks
• Lanyard hole for retention cord attachment

Field testing shows CPM S110V maintains cutting performance through extended use on rope, cardboard, and wood materials. The steel composition resists chipping while holding keen edges that slice cleanly through fibrous materials. Compression Lock engagement requires deliberate pressure, preventing inadvertent release during demanding cutting applications.
