The most distinctive feature of this elite knife is its blade, which is crafted from Crucible® Industries' CPM® CRU-WEAR®—an air-hardening tool steel specially formulated to offer both superior wear resistance and toughness. CRU-WEAR's advanced alloy composition allows it to excel in applications that require greater wear resistance than D2, more toughness than M2 high speed steel, or both. The CRU-WEAR used in this knife's blade is also enhanced by the Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process, which ensures an ultra-fine, extremely homogeneous grain structure that maximizes the performance potential of the steel. The PlainEdge™ blade of this exclusive knife is full-flat ground for exceptional edge geometry and is cloaked in a handsome black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating.

Not to be outdone, this Para 3's handle proudly showcases brilliant purple G-10 scales with a peel-ply texture for a secure, non-slip grip. Skeletonized stainless steel liners nested within the scales serve as the foundation of the knife's patented Compression Lock® mechanism, which offers extreme strength and safe, convenient, one-handed operation. To complement the knife's DLC-coated blade, the handle's four-position pocket clip and all other hardware also feature a rich black finish. 

A distinctive expression of one of Spyderco's most in-demand models, this Exclusive Para 3 is destined to become a highly prized collector's item.
