The Spyderco Para 3 is a more compact version of Spyderco's immensely popular Paramilitary 2. It features the same high-strength Compression Lock, brown canvas micarta scales, and a scaled-down, full-flat ground blade. The Cru-Carta differs from the G-10 models with its full (not nested) steel liners. This is another solid design from Spyderco that's sure to please those who love the PM2 but prefer shorter blades or live in areas with blade-length restrictions.
