Product Description
The Spyderco Para 3™ Lightweight Salt is the definitive everyday carry solution for maritime professionals and watersports enthusiasts. This highly anticipated model takes the proven ergonomics of the Para 3 and optimizes every single component for extreme saltwater environments, resulting in a tool that is virtually immune to rust.
The 2.92" blade is precision-ground from CPM® MagnaCut®, a revolutionary nitrogen-enriched steel that delivers the "holy grail" of metallurgy: professional-grade toughness and edge retention paired with unparalleled corrosion resistance. The handle is injection-molded from vibrant Yellow FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), providing high visibility and a rock-solid grip via the Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern. Engineered for total reliability, the Compression Lock®, reversible deep-pocket wire clip, and all internal hardware are machined from specialized, ultra-corrosion-resistant materials.
