This Exclusive version of the Spyderco Para® 3 Lightweight was manufactured specifically for REC ~ River's Edge Cutlery and is available only through riversedgecutlery.com. Strict Limit of 1 per household!

The first defining feature of this elite knife is its blade, which is crafted from CTS® 204P, an advanced powder-metallurgy stainless steel that offers an exceptional balance of wear resistance, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Full-flat ground for optimal edge geometry and point utility, the PlainEdge™ blade also features a durable, non-reflective, flat dark earth PVD (physical vapor deposition) coating.

In keeping with the no-nonsense tactical spirit of its blade coating, the handle of this elite knife is injection molded in a distinctive olive drab color, black-coated liners and hardware, and a black-coated deep-pocket wire clip that is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry.

    Just Alright

    Posted by Teven on 22nd Jul 2024

    This exclusive is fine. The handle color is a bit off from previous Avocados and not in a way I like, but otherwise it's a classic Avocado. The QC is top notch, and it was smooth out of the box with no play, which isn't always true of coated blades. The LW Para 3 design itself, I find it too blade heavy; if you're using the choil it's fine, but with your hand back on the handle it leans too far to the blade. Overall just an okay model, okay exclusive, and a bit of a ridiculous price (got it anyway thanks to REC's nice rewards program, big plus there).

    Great First Experience w Para3 & REC

    Posted by Ian Van Camp on 10th Oct 2024

    I've owned a fair share of Spyderco over the years and I've never been attracted to the lightweight designs, but REC's ltd. ed. brought me to the site and I'm very happy with my purchase. The blade coating is perfectly applied, out of the box the edge was toothy as hell and I have found it in my pocket more often than I expected, which is the real vote of confidence.

    Nice Exclusive Folder

    This is my first Spyderco REC exclusive OD green. Wasn’t sure if I’d like the scales as I’m more of a G-10 guy. Ended up liking it a lot because it’s so light weight. Very sharp and has held its edge well. Eager to get my hands on future OD green exclusives.

    Shockingly good

    Posted by Kyle on 23rd Jul 2024

    I have big hands and prefer larger knives just for the ergonomics/safety factor when handling them, so I was pretty surprised when I picked up a Para3 LW recently and fell in love. This avocado lightweight is just too great! so lightweight and everything that makes a Spyderco good, but the avo colors came out so well and serve as a relatively urban camo in the jeans/brown pants I wear often. Another banger, REC! Keep swinging...

    SPYDERCO REC EXCLUSIVE PARA 3 LIGHTWEIGHT OD GREEN, FDE 204P - C223PODFDE

    Posted by Oleksii on 22nd Jul 2024

    This is the nicest P3 LW I’ve seen right out of the box. Blade is actually centered , zero blade play and drop-shut action. Grind is good . And it looks great with the black hardware and OD green scales. BTW its my first Spyderco REC Exclusive and Im pretty happy to own one.

    Absolute Banger

    REC kills it on their exclusives. This is another example of just knocking it out of the park.
