Tough as Maxamet. Built for precision in a pocket-friendly package.

A compact powerhouse evolved from the legendary PM2, the Spyderco Para 3 Maxamet pushes edge performance to the limit. Featuring ultra-hard Micro-Melt Maxamet steel, this folder delivers elite-level edge retention in a streamlined platform designed for areas with blade-length restrictions, with a flat-ground clip point blade that slices clean.

Textured gray G-10 handles enhance grip and control, while a four-position pocket clip and Compression Lock round out this industrial-strength slicer. Made for serious users and built to last, it pairs a stonewashed finish with an easy-carry lanyard hole. Micro-Melt Maxamet is among the toughest steels in the industry, with extreme hardness that holds an edge through serious work.
