Spyderco Para 3 Review | Not ironically… THE GOAT!!!

Welcome to my in-depth review of the Spyderco Para 3 pocket knife! In this video, I’ll be putting this popular EDC knife through its paces and sharing my thoughts on its design, build quality, performance, and overall utility. We’ll take a close look at the compact size, the ergonomic G-10 handle, and the variety of available steals, depending on the version of knife you choose. I talk about its cutting capabilities, discuss the smooth deployment mechanism, and evaluate its size and weight for everyday carry. Whether you’re a seasoned knife enthusiast or someone looking for the perfect everyday tool, this review will help you make an informed decision about adding the Spyderco Para 3 to your collection.

Thicker scales fit the hand better (but less well in the pocket). I don’t want my knives to be too thin, i.e. much under 1/2” except on very small knives, in fact, I like them best around 0.55-0.65, and I don’t have very big hands. I like the size of the Para 3! It fits my hand PERFECTLY, so much so in fact, I am collecting mostly Para 3s right now (and planning to sell off about half my collection). I like cutting back, not going so much overboard! I have too many knives. I think I could settle just for these…

Grabbed both 10v para3’s and they are very nice knives 👍🏻

One need not fear corrosion on Maxamet, even if you live in Florida! Maxamet, in my experience, doesn’t rust so much as it turns gray. If you maintain a Maxamet knife, by keeping it clean and maybe using a little metal polish on the blade, and it is also kept lightly oiled, it will just get gray and grayer. I LIKE the patina that forms on Maxamet!

Awesome! Just bought one yesterday and am really enjoying it. Thanks for your review!

Collectionneur depuis pas mal d'année je suis d'accord, il frôle la perfection, un des rare à garder parmis tant d'autre.

I never could figure out why they pinned the stop bar instead of a traditional standoff with screws like the pm2

[DuhYaThink]

Easy knife to work on. The only thing is the lanyard hole. Just use a thin screwdriver between the liner and scale and wiggle it a bit. No sweat👍🏻 blade swaps are easy as pie.

It's not hard to remove the scales from the lanyard tube. I installed backspacers on my para 3 and PM2 and the scales came off pretty easy. All you have to do is rock them back and forth while pulling. Reinstalling was easy too with a pair of pliers

I’ve been into knives for 25 years and have multiples of the big 3 CRK, Strider, Hinderer, as well as other well known mid techs and Benchmade and other spydies. Once I got the para 3, I’ve carried it exclusively for the last 2.5 years. I think I’ve found the perfect knife.

I own two PM 2’s and they have been my primary edc for a couple years and after seeing so many great reviews for the Para 3 and so many steel choices I decided to purchase one. For only having the knife less than a week, I can say without a doubt that knowing what I know now, I would have purchased this knife before purchasing the PM 2. I am in no way saying this knife is better than the PM 2 but for me, it’s a much more comfortable knife to use and carry. Just like the PM 2, the Para 3 has a buttery smooth action and feels really good in your hand. I bought my para 3 from Blade HQ and they had it priced right and on my porch in 3 days! What else can you ask for?

Just picked this up and it's 45V think I went with over kill

[yankeeyankee]

I like the Para 3s/PM2s because 1) the Para 3 fits my hand perfectly, 2) because the action can be adjusted to be EXCELLENT, 3) because Spyderco offers essentially the same 2 knives in a large variety of exotic and common steels, 4) because they are MADE for owner customization, with off the shelf parts, which are 5) available in a large variety of forms… I have a total of about 17 P3s/PM2s, in all the best super steels, all well-customized with metal (Cu, Ti, brass) plus CF handles, backspacers, pocket clips and lanyard tube plugs. I believe I have overcome the chief shortcoming of these knives, factory G-10 handles, making great knives even better!

I live in Titusville FL, and work in and out side, and honestly never have a rust issue with any of my knives, I think just using them is most important,

I took sand paper to round off my corners. Started with 600 and worked up to 1500 all the way around.

[Hollowpoint]

BIg fan of the maxamet version myself, patinas really nice which looks great with well worn micarta.

[DuhYaThink]

It’s too small. IMO. Have lots of them and like them just don’t carry them often. Now the military 2 is my edc and a native 5 lw serrated maganacut that is my work knife. Great little work knife.

[DuhYaThink]

Theses 2 10v models will probably be very valuable in the future also👍🏻

[yankeeyankee]

Right, your political side is thinking “I want to support AMERICAN business and workers if I can, and if they can produce a good product.” American producers make some of the best knives in the world, so it makes perfect sense that we would buy them and promote them.

[Hamilkar]

Hey, thanks for the video.
It would be nice to see comparing this knife to other options in same size/price range.
Why is it better than Bogout?
Why would you choose it over Demco or Civivi?
Why it beats Hogue Deka in your opinion?
Keep on going! ;)

[rjlewis]

The only thing I don’t like about the para 3 is that people call it the paramilitary 3
