Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight CPM-SPY27

Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight CPM-SPY27

  • Ultralight 70 grams
  • Steel specially developed for Spyderco: CPM-SPY 27
  • Dark blue FRN handle scales

A faithful companion
Most major knife manufacturers have developed their classics over the years, which are simply indispensable from the program. Spyderco's Para Military 2 is one of them, along with several other models.

But for some, this folding knife is a bit too big for everyday use, especially since there is a legal regulation in some US states that only allows blades up to a length of 3 inches.

Spyderco have therefore put the PM2 on a diet and the result can now be admired in the form of the Para 3. Well, it's not quite that simple - after all, the Para 3 is much more than just a shrunken version of the classic.
Despite the significantly smaller dimensions, the Para 3 also feels absolutely fantastic in the hand, especially when you use the finger choil at the base of the blade. This indentation allows one to guide the knife very close to the cutting edge and thus be able to transfer a lot of force to the cutting motion.

The Compression Lock, which at first glance looks like a liner lock attached to the back, provides maximum security through its locking technology, which is due to the fact that here (unlike the liner lock) a part of the plate is pushed between the blade root and the stop pin. To destroy the lock, the vertically positioned liner would have to be crushed between the blade and the pin, which is virtually impossible.

Lightweight

Spyderco have added a popular model to their ultra-lightweight line with the Para-3-Lightweight. The already brilliant Para 3 has been put on a radical diet - with phenomenal results.

The new Lightweight version with the slightly rounded handle, is fantastic in the hand. With its sensational 70 grams, you can carry it in your pocket almost unnoticed. The handle scales in this version are made of the lightweight FRN plastic (Fiber Reinforced Nylon) that Spyderco has been using for a long time. This material is very robust and offers an extremely good grip. So you can work safely and precisely with the knife even with wet hands, without the threat of slipping the Para 3.

The CPM-SPY 27

Working closely with Crucible® Industries, Spyderco developed the CPM SPY27, a particle metallurgy stainless steel that contains a proprietary blend of alloys including vanadium, molybdenum, niobium, nitrogen and cobalt. This remarkable composition, enhanced by the reinforcing effect of cobalt and the state-of-the-art crucible particle metallurgy process, is made exclusively for Spyderco.

This pimped version of the popular Para 3 Lightweight improves on all the proven features of the standard version with its high performance CPM SPY27 blade.

Together with the large lanyard hole and the double-sided convertible Poketclip (the knife is thus also perfectly suitable for left-handers) you get with the Para 3 a really robust and yet handy pocket knife, which proves to be an absolutely faithful companion in everyday life.

Warn-/Sicherheitshinweis:

Schnittverletzungen: Die häufigste Gefahr bei der Verwendung von Messern ist das Risiko von Schnittverletzungen. 

Scharfe Klingen können schnell durch Haut und Gewebe dringen. Abrutschen des Messers: Ein unsachgemäßes oder zu starkes Drücken kann dazu führen, dass das Messer abrutscht und unkontrollierte Bewegungen entstehen, die Verletzungen verursachen können. Verletzungen durch 
Stürze: Messer sollten niemals ungesichert oder in der Nähe von Tischkanten abgelegt werden, um zu verhindern, dass sie herunterfallen und jemanden verletzen. 

Stumpfe Messer: Stumpfe Messer stellen ein größeres Verletzungsrisiko dar, da sie mehr Kraft erfordern und leichter abrutschen können. Messer sollten daher regelmäßig sachgemäß nachgeschärft werden. 
Nicht bestimmungsgemäße Nutzung: Das Verwenden eines Messers für Aufgaben, für die es nicht vorgesehen ist (z.B. als Hebelwerkzeug), kann nicht nur die Klinge beschädigen, sondern auch zu Unfällen führen.
