What it is?
The new EDC, the Para 3, distills all the features of the best-in-class folding knife into a more compact, carry-friendly package. Ounce for ounce, it is one of the most capable folding knives ever made and is destined to be a classic. Machined from premium CPM S45VN particle metallurgy Stainless Steel, the Para 3 offers superior balance, edge retention, and low-friction cutting performance. It features a lightweight, open-backed construction style, and its Stainless Steel liners are nested into the textured G-10 scales, reducing handle thickness and providing excellent support for the knife's Compression Lock. The Para 3 traces its history all the way back to 2004 with the introduction of the Para Military design, offering the same proven reliability and cutting performance but in a more compact, easy-to-carry design. Located in the spine of the handle, the Compression Lock's high-strength mechanism locks the blade securely open during use yet allows it to be closed easily and safely with only one hand.
