Ultra-Light. Fully Serrated. Stealth Mode Engaged. Blacked out, ready for anything.

The Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight in Black DLC brings tactical edge to ultralight EDC. Weighing in at just 2.5 oz and packing a fully serrated CTS-BD1N blade, this model is engineered for high-efficiency cutting in a sleek, non-reflective package.

A full-flat grind, Compression Lock, and ambidextrous deep-carry clip make it functional, fierce, and ready to disappear in the pocket — or the field. The fully serrated edge rips through rope, webbing, and fibrous materials with ease. It’s the Para 3 you know, reimagined for low-vis, high-performance applications. Coated hardware and a deep-pocket clip keep the whole package discreet, cohesive, and pocket-ready.
