Spyderco Para 3 S110V
Basically you can find all the information about this special edition of the Para 3 here in the item description.
This item is a special version, of this great EDC pocket knife.With the CPM S110V steel, the popular Para 3 has been given a huge upgrade.This powder metallurgical alloy from Crucible Industries is considered one of the best knife steels the market currently has to offer.
The patented manufacturing process creates a material structure that takes on an incredible hardness and thus makes the blade extremely cut-resistant. At the same time, CPM S110V steel is very rust resistant, making it perfect for food processing.
Did you know?The handle scales on this version have a hue that the manufacturer claims is purple.Due to the high blue content in the color, however, the term "blurple" has rather become accepted (blue + purple = blurple).
Spyderco UKPK Slipjoint Drop Point
It is no big secret that the laws regarding knives and carrying them in public are much stricter in Europe than in the USA.Spyderco, however, was one of the first major manufacturers to address this problem, and with the UKPK (UK Penknife) has created a kind of European classic in its own range, which even meets the very strict laws in Great Britain.Two important factors come together here: although the UKPK - thanks to the Spyderholes - can be opened with one hand, the blade does not lock when open, but is held by a strong back spring (similar to a Swiss Army knife, for example).
This allows you to carry the UKPK perfectly legally.
However, despite its small size, lack of locking mechanism and extremely lightweight construction, the UKPK is a highly functional pocket knife. The thin blade proves to be a real cutting devil in everyday EDC thanks to the raised flat grind and shows that Spyderco really had a cutting tool in mind here and not a folding crowbar. The built-in CTS BD1 steel is very corrosion resistant and also easy to bring back to razor sharpness after use.
The FRN (Fiber Reinforced Nylon) handle scales do not require steel plates underneath and ensure a construction that is as light as it is sturdy. At a mere 48 grams, the UKPK hardly adds any weight in your pocket.
The deep-carry pocket clip can be mounted on the left or right side, which makes the knife interesting for left-handers as well.
All in all, with the UKPK you get a really highly suitable EDC pocket knife which not only complies with local legislation, but also proves to be a loyal companion.
Spyderco Para 3
A faithful companionMost major knife manufacturers have developed their classics over the years, which are simply indispensable from the program. Spyderco's Para Military 2 is one of them, along with several other models.
But for some, this folding knife is a bit too big for everyday use, especially since there is a legal regulation in some US states that only allows blades up to a length of 3 inches.
Spyderco have therefore put the PM2 on a diet and the result can now be admired in the form of the Para 3. Well, it's not quite that simple - after all, the Para 3 is much more than just a shrunken version of the classic.Despite the significantly smaller dimensions, the Para 3 also feels absolutely fantastic in the hand, especially when you use the finger choil at the base of the blade. This indentation allows one to guide the knife very close to the cutting edge and thus be able to transfer a lot of force to the cutting motion.
The Compression Lock, which at first glance looks like a liner lock attached to the back, provides maximum security through its locking technology, which is due to the fact that here (unlike the liner lock) a part of the plate is pushed between the blade root and the stop pin. So to destroy the lock, the vertically positioned liner would have to be crushed between the blade and the pin, which is virtually impossible.
The fully raised flat grind of the blade, which is made of CPM S45V steel, ensures optimal cutting performance and the fine tapered tip also allows for the most precise work. The blade length of exactly 3inches (hence the name of the knife) is still long enough to handle the vast majority of everyday cutting tasks with ease, yet still makes for a much more compact overall package compared to the Para Military 2.
Together with the large lanyard hole and the reversible poket clip (making the knife perfectly suitable for left-handers), you get a really robust yet handy pocket knife with the Para 3, which proves to be an absolutely faithful companion in everyday life.

Deep-carry clip
Spyderco have added a popular model to their ultra-lightweight range with the Para 3 Lightweight. The already brilliant Para 3 has been put on a radical diet - with phenomenal results.

This material is very robust and offers an extremely good grip. So you can work with the knife even with wet hands safely and accurately, without the one the Para 3 to slip.
