Spyderco

Introducing the long-awaited Para 3 Salt Blackout, a knife that embodies sleek simplicity and unwavering corrosion resistance. Crafted for those who live and work around water, this knife takes the innovative Para 3 platform and elevates it to perfection. This model features a revolutionary CPM-MagnaCut blade, presenting an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Whether you're cutting ropes, opening packages, or taking on more demanding tasks, this knife is your ultimate everyday companion, especially around water.

To visually distinguish the Para 3 Salt from its brethren and enhance its grip texture for use in wet environments, we also wanted the knife's handle to be distinctive. Borrowing from other highly successful Salt models—the Caribbean Salts—Spyderco designed a CNC-machined pattern called the "Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture" pattern. Starting with medium-textured peel-ply G10, they machine a series of arced grooves emanating from the center of the handle. A raised ridge down the middle of the handle's length adds sophistication to the pattern and creates a "pad" for the pocket clip's contact point to ensure a smooth draw regardless of carry position. The result is a visually stunning pattern that offers enhanced traction and grip security in even the most demanding environmental conditions.

A Great Knife in a Smaller Package
This knife is a great Para 3 version of the larger Paramilitary 2 Salt. I love the security of the textured handle. I did add a Lynch pocket clip and a Glow Rhino lanyard plug. Now it feels like a knife made just for me. The magnacut blade comes out of the box razor sharp and will stay that way. I did have to center the blade but that’s an easy process with a t8 hex screwdriver.

Lockstick
On a slow-roll open it locks fine, but if I spider-flick it will be difficult to disengage. Is that just mine or do they all go out like that because of the painted surface? The best part of the knife may be the handle material and pattern. Perfectly grippy.
