Product Description
The Spyderco Para 3™ CruCarta is a premium, hard-use evolution of the definitive everyday carry folder. This highly anticipated addition to the "CruCarta" family pairs the compact, ergonomic excellence of the Para 3 with a legendary combination of high-performance tool steel and natural canvas Micarta.
The 2.92" blade is precision-ground from CPM® CRU-WEAR®, an air-hardening tool steel enhanced by the Crucible Particle Metallurgy process. This elite steel offers a superior balance of extreme toughness and world-class edge retention, outperforming standard stainless steels in demanding environments. The handle is built with skeletonized full stainless steel liners and Brown Canvas Micarta scales, which are sanded smooth but left unpolished. This allows the material to naturally darken and develop a unique, personalized patina over time. Featuring the high-strength Compression Lock® and a versatile four-position pocket clip, the Para 3 CruCarta is a robust tool built for a lifetime of service.
