Description
The Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight is a compact, everyday-carry folding knife that delivers full-size cutting performance in a streamlined, pocket-friendly package. This version pairs a 2.92″ plain-edge blade precision machined from CTS BD1N stainless steel with a stealthy black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) finish that reduces glare and adds corrosion resistance.
The black FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) handle scales are molded with Spyderco’s high-traction Bi-Directional Texture pattern for a secure grip in any conditions. With an overall length of 7.21″, a closed length of 4.29″, and a carry weight of just 2.50 oz, the Para 3 Lightweight is roughly 30% lighter than the G-10 version while keeping the proven Para 3 cutting geometry.
A reversible pocket clip supports ambidextrous tip-up carry, and the knife is proudly made in the USA. Whether you reach for it daily, carry it as a backup to a larger blade, or add it to a Spyderco collection, the Para 3 Lightweight offers proven Spyderco quality in a discreet, easy-to-carry format.
