Item # 227171 Style SPY-C223PBK UPC 716104013135 Condition New Manufacturer [Spyderco](https://www.kygunco.com/brand/spyderco) Weight 1 lb Like other Para 3s, the Lightweight has an easy-to-clean open-backed construction style that helps further reduce its weight. And although it is almost 30 percent lighter than its G10 counterparts, its patented Compression Lock mechanism still ensures outstanding dependability, structural strength, and ease of operation. Another significant difference between the Para 3 Lightweight and its G10 brethren is the configuration of its pocket clip and lanyard hole. The lanyard hole is located closer to the spine of the handle, providing clearance for the clip, while still allowing the easy attachment of lanyards and fobs. Instead of the four-position stainless steel clip of the G10 Para 3, the lightweight sports a deep-pocket wire clip that mounts at the very butt end of the handle. Although the reversible wire clip allows the knife to ride significantly lower in the pocket and blends easily with pants material, the trade-off is that it only offers tip-up carry. The Para 3 Lightweight represents a whole new dimension of this popular model, as well as a new chapter in Spyderco's proud history as a pioneer in ultra-lightweight knife design. **SPECIFICATIONS** - Blade Length: 2.92" - Closed Length: 4.29" - Overall Length: 7.21" - Cutting Edge: 2.58" - Blade Thickness: 0.145" - Blade Material: CTS-BD1N Stainless Steel - Blade Style: Clip Point - Blade Grind: Full Flat - Blade Finish: Satin - Blade Edge: Plain - Handle Material: FRN - Handle Color: Black - Locking Mechanism: Compression - Pocket Clip: Tip-Up/Down, Left/Right Carry - Model Number: C223PBK - Model Name: Para 3 Lightweight - Weight: 2.4 oz. - Made in the USA ** WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
