Spyderco Para3 Compression Lock Spy 27 Steel Blue G10 Scales

The Spyderco Para 3 CPM SPY27 delivers everything that made the Para series legendary in a more compact, highly pocketable platform. Combining Spyderco’s proven ergonomics with their proprietary CPM SPY27 steel, this version of the Para 3 is built for users who want premium cutting performance in an everyday carry-friendly size.

At the center is a 2.95” full-flat-ground CPM SPY27 blade with a clean satin finish. Developed exclusively for Spyderco, SPY27 builds on the proven VG-10 formula while incorporating niobium, vanadium, molybdenum, and nitrogen for improved edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The result is a steel that offers excellent all-around performance with easier maintenance than many high vanadium “super steels.”

The Para 3 features Spyderco’s trusted Compression Lock, providing strong lockup, smooth one-handed operation, and safe finger positioning during closing. Paired with Spyderco’s signature Round Hole opener, the knife offers fast, ambidextrous deployment and excellent fidget-friendly action.

Finished with cobalt blue G10 scales, this version stands out visually while maintaining the secure grip and durability G10 is known for. Skeletonized stainless-steel liners help reduce weight while preserving strength, making the Para 3 an ideal balance of lightweight carry and hard-use capability.
