The Spyderco Para 3 packs the tactical reliability of the full-size Para Military 2 into a smaller, more discrete form factor. Blade comes in at just under 3 inch, and the entire Knife folds to only 4.29 inch. Yet the Para 3 carries the same military-grade dependable strength of larger models thanks to its patented Spyderco Compression Lock. The rugged dependability of this particular Para 3 is further strengthened by the addition of exotic Micro-Melt Maxamet steel alloy. Originally developed by American steel manufacturer Carpenter as an alloy tough enough to be used to machine other types of steel, Micro-Melt has found a new application in the world of cutlery with Spyderco. The result is compact knife blades capable of taking on the most challenging daily workload. Micro-Melt Maxamet stainless steel 2.95 inch clip-point blade with stonewash finish Ambidextrous thumb hole Textured G10 handle Compression lock 4-position pocket clip
