Product Description
The Spyderco Para™ 3 Lightweight Salt® C223SYL is a masterclass in corrosion-resistant engineering, designed for professionals and adventurers who operate in and around the water. This model features a 2.92" blade crafted from CPM® MagnaCut®, a revolutionary American powder metallurgy steel that achieves the "holy grail" of metallurgy: extraordinary toughness, high edge retention, and total rust-proof performance. The fully serrated SpyderEdge™ significantly increases the cutting surface, allowing the blade to bite deep and slice through heavy cordage and synthetic lines effortlessly.
The handle is injection-molded from high-visibility Yellow FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), ensuring the tool is easy to locate in low-light or underwater environments. Built with an open-backed construction for easy cleaning, the handle features Bi-Directional Texturing™ for an unshakeable grip even when hands are wet or gloved. Supported by ultra-corrosion-resistant hardware and Spyderco’s signature Compression Lock®, this USA-made folder is the definitive choice for a maintenance-free, hard-use maritime EDC.
