Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight Knife Review

[@genuinelyconcerned3504]

I must have watched about 30 reviews on this knife now and this is by far one of the best.

[@knifeguyrick2912]

Thanks!!!

[@retardno002]

Seriously? From the guy who calls powder metallurgy steel 'powder coated'? That's your best review? We must be using different TH-cams.

You are a bit misinformed. It is the Para 3 lw, not Paramilitary. It is Bi-Directional texturing on the handle. It is not a backlock, but compression lock. Quite a difference.

[@michaelhansen6802]

As you say G10 like plastic, but resin, so I would say superior. G10 can clearly be more durable, and with proper texturing more grippy when wet. I do think Spyderco does a fantastic job on these scales for still being economical.

[@knifeguyrick2912]

I agree, these scales have held up really well, and I think it’s one of the reasons why the knife is so light.

I like the “American Beauty” thumbnail.

I was wondering when people would make that comment.😂

THE BEST KNIFE THE SPYDERCO ICON....PARA 3

[@knifeguyrick2912]

It’s a good one!

[@AKhan.28]

Just got this PM3 LW in the other day. It's my first knife ever and I'm loving it! Idk what to get next. Thinking Manix 2 or maybe something from Benchmade

[@knifeguyrick2912]

Benchmade makes some good knives.

Those squiggly marks on the blade - those are the makers' marks for Sal and Eric Glesser, who are father and son. Sal is the founder of Spyderco.

[@knifeguyrick2912]

But I’m guessing those marks are still a symbol not initials. Kind of like the artist formally known as prince.

The marks are a stylized E for Eric and S A L for Sal, not symbols.

Bent on getting the light weight or the regular version

[@knifeguyrick2912]

I really like the lightweight.
