Spyderco Sprint Run Para 3 2.93" Compression Lock Folder / Brown G-10 / Stonewashed CPM-15V ( Pre Owned )

The Para 3 takes all the proven features and benefits of Spyderco's best-selling Paramilitary 2 and distills them into an even more compact all-purpose cutting tool. Its three-inch blade is precision machined from premium CPM-15V tool steel and features a full-flat grind for a superior balance of strength, point utility, and low-friction cutting performance. It includes a textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp that provide a solid purchase for a forward grip and offer enhanced control during precise cutting tasks. The blade's signature Trademark Round Hole clearly brands it as a member of the Spyderco family and is fully accessible to allow quick, positive, one-handed opening with either hand.

To keep the Para 3 slim and pocket-friendly, it features a lightweight, open-backed construction style and its stainless steel liners are nested into machined recesses in the textured G10 scales. This reduces the handle thickness and provides excellent structural support for the knife's patented Compression Lock. Located in the spine of the handle, this high-strength mechanism locks the blade securely open during use, yet allows it to be closed easily and safely with only one hand. A four-position hourglass clip and an oversized lined lanyard hole complete the design, offering ambidextrous tip-up or tip-down carry and allowing the easy attachment of fobs and lanyards. Ounce for once one of the most capable folding knives ever made, the Para 3 is destined to be a classic.

This limited-edition Sprint Run expression of the Para 3 showcases a blade crafted from Crucible Industries' state-of-the-art CPM-15V particle metallurgy tool steel. With almost 15 percent vanadium in its alloy mix, this remarkable material offers the highest wear resistance of any cold-work tool steel currently available. To maximize its potential, the full-flat-ground, stonewashed blade of this knife is further enhanced by a specialized heat-treating protocol developed by acclaimed custom knifemaker Shawn Houston. In keeping with the signature theme of the CPM-15V Sprint Runs, the handle of this Para 3 features distinctive brown G10 scales and the reverse side of the blade is proudly laser engraved with Shawn Houston's "Big Brown Bear" logo. All other elements of this elite knife are consistent with the proven Para 3 platform.
