Review: Das Para 3 ist ein geniales Messer, das steht außer Frage. Hier erwirbt man einen lebenslangen Begleiter.
Review: Super nice knife. The blackout version has a great look. It’s very sharp, comfortable in hand and the action is quick and easy. Compression lock is good as always. I often see this knife compared to the Sage 5 and people tend to recommend that one. I have both having gotten a sage 5 first on those recommendations but to me I like the para 3 better (both are great in any case)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by P***R on November 30, 2023*

Many will object to my comment that the Para 3 Lightweight is Spyderco’s best design but based on use, it is perfect. In my case, as a daily pocket carry, it’s one of my favorites in my collection. The lightweight version has the great, deep wire clip plus, it’s thinner and lighter in the pocket than the G-10 version. Also, I have a G-10 Spyderco and it starts to wear pockets a lot faster. I really like the way the deep, wire clip makes the knife almost disappear in my pocket. The CTS BD1N seems to be a good steel. There is a great article “CTS BD1N is not BD1.” The Nitrogen seems to add corrosion resistance to an already good blade steel. Google it to make you own decision on it. As for fidget factor, 10. Edge retention, 8. Looks, 10. Pocket clip, 10. Spyderco has build a great reputation and this knife upholds that reputation and I am very, very happy to have made the purchase.
