    Spyderco Para 3

    The compression lock took some getting used to, as I have been using the Axis lock for so long, not that big of a deal, well made knife, sturdy construction and lock up, I have been very pleased with it, I found that I liked it a lot more once I found the LynchNW deep carry clip for it, now it just disappears in my pocket, the clip has been a great addition, Spyderco should offer them as an option.

    Quality and comfort in the hand. May look strange but is built that way for a purpose and it works.

    Spyderco Para 3 - I liked it very much from the first moment it was in my hand. The handle feels good in the palm of my hand. The Compression Lock mechanism works well. No backlash. Careful even sharpening of the blade. After working out the lock parts, it began to work quickly and at the same time very clearly. It gives the impression that it is loose, but there is still no backlash. This provokes the desire to open and close the blade. Good S45VN powdered stainless steel. All together a fine EDC knife of appropriate size and performance.

    Para 3

    This is my first purchase of a Spyderco product and it definitely will not be my one and only. The Para 3 fits perfectly in my hands and I’m very impressed with the Blade action. I’m one who is not well versed on the various types of blade materials. But I can say that the S45VN blade has also impressed me. The only negative is my blade was not perfectly centered. I was disappointed by this as my OCD kicked in, but the off center did not affect the opening and closing action. And as we all know, there are plenty of reviews with detailed instructions and videos on how to center the blade. As soon as I get a deep carry clip, I will correct this issue. Big thanks to RIver’s Edge for their speedy delivery and ease of purchase.

    Para 3

    This knife is really freaking awesome! By far my favorite knife out of the dozens I own. This thing is smoother than your dad was in high school. Only thing I did to change this was add a deep carry clip from lynch north west. It’s razor sharp out of the box. Centered perfect, ground very thin and slicey! I can get a full grip on this knife even with extra large hands. It’s now in S45vn aswell! Just do yourself a favor and buy this absolute Gem. I promise you won’t regret it
