Product Description
The Para 3 Salt C223GBKYLMCP brings Spyderco's compact Para 3 into the Salt Series, knives built for use in and around the water. This high-visibility version pairs a satin CPM MagnaCut blade with black and yellow G-10.
CPM MagnaCut is an American particle metallurgy stainless steel designed to combine edge retention, toughness, and high corrosion resistance, a mix that's hard to find in one steel. That makes it a strong fit for a knife that gets wet: it holds a working edge, handles hard use without chipping easily, and resists rust far better than most knife steels. Here it runs at 60-64 HRC with a full-flat grind and satin finish for clean slicing.
- Blade: 2.93" CPM MagnaCut drop point with a 2.62" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, satin finish, 60-64 HRC, 0.145" thick.
- Handle: Two-tone black and yellow G-10 scales machined with Spyderco's Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture for grip, over nested, skeletonized liners with black-coated, marine-grade hardware; 4.29" closed, 3.4 oz.
- Deployment + Lock: Spyderco Round Hole for one-handed opening; the Compression Lock releases from the spine side, so your fingers stay clear of the closing blade.
- Carry: Black four-position pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry on the right or left side; 7.20" overall.
Ideal for: anglers, boaters, and divers who need a compact folder that holds up to salt water; outdoor users who want a high-visibility handle that's easy to spot in a boat or on the ground; and Para 3 fans who want it in CPM MagnaCut.
The Spyderco Para 3 Salt in CPM MagnaCut with black and yellow G-10 (C223GBKYLMCP) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Para 3 Salt: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Spyderco Para 3 Salt (C223GBKYLMCP).
What lock does the Spyderco Para 3 Salt C223GBKYLMCP use?＋
The Para 3 Salt uses Spyderco's Compression Lock, built into the nested, skeletonized liners. When the knife is open, a leaf spring in the liner wedges between the blade tang and the stop pin. You release it from the spine side of the handle with one hand, which keeps your fingers out of the blade's path as it closes.
What makes the Para 3 Salt a Salt Series knife?＋
Spyderco's Salt Series knives are designed for use in and around the water. On the Para 3 Salt, that means a CPM MagnaCut blade and handle hardware that Spyderco makes from ultra-corrosion-resistant, marine-grade materials. No knife is fully maintenance-free, so rinse it in fresh water and let it dry after saltwater use.
What is CPM MagnaCut steel?＋
CPM MagnaCut is an American particle metallurgy stainless steel designed to balance edge retention, toughness, and high corrosion resistance. On this knife it is hardened to 60-64 HRC. It holds a working edge well, resists chipping, and stands up to wet conditions better than most knife steels, which is why Spyderco chose it for the Salt Series Para 3.
What is the Para 3 Salt blade good for?＋
The C223GBKYLMCP has a 2.93-inch drop point blade with a 2.62-inch PlainEdge and a full-flat grind, so it slices cleanly through line, rope, bait, and everyday cutting tasks. The compact size and 3.4-ounce weight make it easy to carry on a boat, in a tackle bag, or in a pocket all day.
What comes with the Para 3 Salt C223GBKYLMCP?＋
The C223GBKYLMCP ships as a knife with its four-position pocket clip installed. It is knife only, with no sheath included. Packaging and included items are set by Spyderco and are subject to change.
