Product Description
The Spyderco Para 3™ C223GPCBL takes one of the world's most popular everyday carry folders and upgrades it with Spyderco's exclusive CPM® SPY27® stainless steel. Designed to offer a "just right" balance of performance attributes, this elite edition is a must-have for users who want a high-performance, American-made tool with a unique aesthetic.
The 2.92" blade is precision-ground from CPM SPY27, a proprietary alloy developed in collaboration with Crucible® Industries. By enhancing the classic VG-10 formula with increased carbon, molybdenum, vanadium, and niobium through state-of-the-art particle metallurgy, SPY27 delivers superior edge retention and toughness while remaining remarkably easy to maintain. The handle features Cobalt Blue peel-ply textured G-10 scales, the signature color reserved for Spyderco’s SPY27 family. Supported by skeletonized stainless steel liners and the high-strength Compression Lock®, this Para 3 remains a lightweight and incredibly reliable cutting tool.
