Product Info for Spyderco Paramilitary 3 2.91in Folding Knife

The Para 3 Sprint Run family is a premium series of Spydercos iconic Para 3 model, available in several elite variations that cater to the most demanding cutting tasks. Each version is built upon the same proven Para 3 design, featuring a full-flat-ground blade and Compression Lock mechanism, making it a versatile and reliable tool for both everyday carry and specialized tasks.image

The Para 3 MagnaCut is equipped with a CPM MagnaCut blade, a state-of-the-art particle metallurgy steel renowned for its exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The PlainEdge blade is coated with a non-reflective Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, enhancing its performance in harsh environments. Its peel-ply-textured black G-10 scales, machined with Spydercos distinctive Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture pattern, provide a secure and comfortable grip, while all hardware, including the four-position pocket clip, is crafted from marine-grade materials to ensure long-lasting durability.

For those seeking even greater edge retention and wear resistance, the Para 3 Sprint Run with CPM 15V offers an extraordinary blade made from CPM 15V, a cold-work tool steel containing nearly 15 percent vanadium. This unique alloy composition results in an exceptionally high volume of vanadium carbides, providing unmatched cutting performance and edge retention. Enhanced by a specialized heat-treating protocol developed by custom knifemaker Shawn Houston, this Sprint Run version also features brown peel-ply-textured G-10 scales and Shawn Houstons Triple B logo laser-engraved on the reverse side of the blade. The high-strength Compression Lock mechanism and four-position pocket clip complete the design, offering both style and functionality.

The Para 3 Lightweight Sprint Run variant uses the same CPM 15V steel but is lighter and more streamlined, featuring brown injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle scales for an even lighter carry experience. The Compression Lock mechanism is paired with a reversible deep-pocket wire clip, making it a highly versatile and user-friendly option for those who prioritize portability and ease of use without sacrificing cutting performance.

All versions of the Para 3 Sprint Run combine premium materials, expert craftsmanship, and Spydercos signature design to create a cutting tool that excels in performance, durability, and style. Whether you choose the rugged MagnaCut, the wear-resistant CPM 15V, or the lightweight FRN handle version, each knife in this collection offers superior edge retention, toughness, and reliability for any task.
