PARA 3 EDC outdoor camping hiking kitchen utility blade tool

This elite Sprint Run® expression of the Para Military® 3 Lightweight proudly showcases a blade crafted from CPM® 15V®—an extraordinary material that offers the highest wear resistance of any cold-work tool steel available today. Containing almost 15 percent vanadium, its unique alloy composition creates an exceptionally high volume of vanadium carbides in its microstructure. In knife blades, this translates to breathtaking cutting performance and edge retention. Spyderco’s limited-edition family of CPM 15V knives are further enhanced by a specialized heat-treating protocol developed by acclaimed custom knifemaker Shawn Houston. This Sprint Run expression of the Para Military 3 Lightweight faithfully includes all the defining elements of this design, including a streamlined Compression Lock® mechanism and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip. To clearly distinguish it as a member of our CPM 15V family, it also features brown injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle and Shawn Houston’s “Triple B” logo laser engraved on the reverse side of the full-flat-ground blade.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSOverall Length:8.29in 211mmClosed Length:4.82in 122mmBlade Thickness:.145in 3.7mmTip Carry Position:Tip-UpSheath: N/ABlade Length:3.47in 88mmEdge Length:3.08in 78mmHandle Material:FRNLock Type:CompressionOrigin: United StatesSteel: CPM® 15V®Knife Weight:2.8oz 78gClip Position: AmbiGrind: Full-Flat
