SpydercoPara 3 Signature Folding Utility Pocket Knife with 2.95" Black CPM S45VN Steel Blade and G-10 Handle - Everyday Carry - PlainEdge - C223GPBK

I have had a Benchmade bug out for the past 3 years and I loved that knife, resharpened it and used it every day as part of my EDC. Somehow to great heartbreak I lost it, and I decided to give the Para 3 a try. When I first opened it I almost sent it back because it felt so heavy in my hand compared to the buyout, and I really liked the bugout was so forgettable in my pocket, this one certainly is not. It feels heavier, the blade seems shorter, and I wasn’t impressed.However, after opening and using it, it rivals the bugout in my mind, simply because of how innovative the grip is. It is the most intuitive and clever designed knives I’ve ever held in my hand, the grip is angled and the forward finger position is right up to the blade. What this leaves you with is a precise grip on the knife that is much easier to control and manipulate than any other knife ive ever held, fixed or folding.I can’t say yet that I love it quite as much as I loved the bugout, but if you use a knife for more than just opening boxes, this is a great option.

This is a PERFECT knife! If you want the best feeling in your hand knife you have ever felt, just buy this knife. Its PERFECT!

As I got into collecting knives, I didn't pay much attention to Spydercos. I thought they were weird looking. Kind of ugly actually. But I decided to go aheadand order one. It fut .y hand perfectly. And the quality was amazing. GOD bless America!

Felt ready broken in .Very sharp. Great to grip, easy open and close. Very satisfied and super quick delivery.

Caught in the web.G10 is okay but I prefer Micarta or upgrade to Carbon Fiber or Titanium scales.I got this folder for the blade and black screws/plug.Titanium scales incoming (will update)

The media could not be loaded. This is the best knife I’ve ever had. It’s the second spyderco I’ve gotten, along side the Smock. Fidget factor is 10/10, along with durability and size. I will be carrying this knife for a LONG time.

I have been a big fan of Spyderco knives for years, since I first bought an Endura 4 Full Flat Ground about ten years ago. Since then I have bought and sold a few Spyderco's, but I currently own a black blade and handle Paramilitary 2 with S30V blade, Para 3 with black handle and blade and also S30V steel, and finally a Spydiechef.I carry the PM2 in my right pants pocket every day, and usually have my Spydiechef in a little pouch in my shirt pocket. I have just been keeping the Para 3 in its box. I use my PM2 for everyday tasks, but I keep the Para 3 and Spydiechef factory sharp.I really like how the Para 3 is so well made, it's easy to flick the blade open, I love the lock mechanism, and the blade is sharp as hell from the factory. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality knife to carry.

The deployment action steals the show here. The knife comes stupid sharp, as expected from Spyderco. The frame lock action is fun to play with. It’s simply a joy to have in hand, period. It feels like quality and it is. I spend this much on a knife about once a month or so, but I get that not everyone has that luxury. If you can afford it, get it. If you’ve never owned a Spyderco, this is a great first one to have. Everyone is entitled to their opinion obviously, but MY opinion is that this is the best all-around Spyderco knife. I carry the Delica 4 a LOT also, as it is a perfect EDC size, but I prefer the overall package and action of the Para 3. Great knife!
