Blade: Satin finished blade made from CTS BD1N steel. Opening Mechanism: Ambidextrous thumb hole opener. Handle: Textured pink FRN handle with black hardware. Locking Mechanism: Compression lock mechanism. Pocket Clip: Reversible pocket clip for tip-up carry. The Spyderco Para 3 made a name for itself as one of the best EDC knives out there, and the Para 3?Lightweight?made it even better! It is a joy to operate, and thanks to the bi-directional texturing of its FRN handle, it is lighter and grippier than ever. Instead of the classic spoon clip, Spyderco employed a wire clip that is gentler on your pocket, carries much deeper, and further reduces the weight. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better ultra-light folder anywhere, so slip this guy into your pocket and learn what it means to EDC with ease!? ??
