My First Spyderco

Razor sharp blade right out of the box. I’m very impressed with the quality and functionality of the Para 3. I own Kershaws, Benchmades and Hogue blades but this has quickly become my favorite! Feels great in my hands and takes care of business when needed!

Perfect EDC!!

I own multiple Spydercos so the quality is very familiar to me. The texture on this handle is perfect, doesn’t snag on your pants pocket and very comfortable. Magnacut speaks for itself. This quickly became my every day EDC. Thank you Knife Center!

well worth the wait

The scales that come on this knife both feel and look really nice. Magnacut is also a bonus.

Spyderco Para 3 Salt Compression Lock CPM-MagnaCut Black Plain Blade,

This knife is a wonderful upgrade to the classic Para 3. The MagnaCut blade steel is awesome, came wicked sharp out of the box.

Para 3 Salt

An amazing knife! Definitely worth every penny! The Magnacut steel is top notch and the lock up is solid, almost like a fixed blade.

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.

Salty

Have the military, pm2, and now the pm3 all in the salt version and it is my preferred version. I strongly prefer the lynch clips also. Great little every day carry size a finish that I don’t need to worry about. My preferred size of the 3 knives is the pm2 but the pm2 is great for office days.

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.
