{"product_id":"c223lt-para®-3-lightweight","title":"Para® 3 Lightweight","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpyderco’s best-selling Para® 3 folding knife distills all the key qualities of the time-tested Para Military® 2 model into an ultra-compact, carry-friendly format. The Para 3 Lightweight raises that bar even higher by incorporating injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales and a streamlined version of our Compression Lock® mechanism to create a knife that is almost 30 percent lighter than its G-10-handled counterparts. The Para 3 Lightweight boasts a linerless, open-backed construction and a high-traction Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for a secure grip. A stainless steel lock bar inset into the handle’s interior forms the foundation of its sturdy lock mechanism, while keeping the overall weight to an absolute minimum. The knife’s full-flat-ground blade is crafted from CTS® BD1N, a nitrogen-enriched high-carbon chromium steel that offers a superior balance of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable with a choice of PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™ cutting edges, the tumble-finished blade features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ for swift, positive, one-handed opening with either hand. A generously sized lanyard hole and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip round out its impressive features, providing discreet left or right-side tip-up carry and allowing the easy attachment of fobs or lanyards. For tactical environments or those who prefer black-bladed knives, the Para 3 Lightweight is also available in an all-black configuration featuring a stealthy Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) blade coating, black-coated liners and hardware, and a choice of PlainEdge or SpyderEdge formats. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spyderco","offers":[{"title":"PlainEdge \/ DLC","offer_id":44049534353452,"sku":"C223PBBK","price":206.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SpyderEdge \/ DLC","offer_id":44049534418988,"sku":"C223SBBK","price":206.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"PlainEdge \/ None","offer_id":44049534451756,"sku":"C223PBK","price":186.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SpyderEdge \/ None","offer_id":44049534484524,"sku":"C223SBK","price":186.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/7189\/6620\/files\/C223SBK_Both.jpg?v=1745533369","url":"https:\/\/spyderco.mom\/products\/c223lt-para%c2%ae-3-lightweight","provider":"Spyderco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
