Spyderco® Para 3 Salt® Premium Compression Lock Folding Knife – 2.92" Full-Flat Ground CPM-MagnaCut® Blade – Stealth Black DLC Coating – Black G-10 Scales with Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™ – C223GMCBKP
Product Description
The Spyderco® Para 3 Salt® Premium Compression Lock Folding Knife (C223GMCBKP) represents an elite mechanical pinnacle in maritime everyday carry (EDC) and corrosion-resistant cutting logistics. It is masterfully engineered in Golden, Colorado, to deliver zero-fail operational security in the most punishing marine environments. Taking the legendary, ultra-compact ergonomics of the standard Para 3 platform and migrating it directly into Spyderco’s rustproof Salt® Series, this "Blackout" edition answers the call of professional divers, coastal operators, and water sports enthusiasts. While standard tool-steel folding knives quickly succumb to pitting, corrosion, and edge decay when exposed to high-humidity salt air or direct ocean submersions—locking up the pivot system and ruining reliability—the Para 3 Salt utilizes an entirely marine-grade, rust-immune build. This elite cutting tool (716104018727) stands as an indispensable primary asset for tactical maritime defense staging, coastal utility workflows, and hardcore personal security routines.
The core metallurgical triumph of this pocket powerhouse lies in its 2.92-inch full-flat ground clip point blade crafted from state-of-the-art CPM-MagnaCut® particle metallurgy steel. Shattering traditional steel design compromises, MagnaCut provides an incredible matrix of extreme edge retention, immense structural toughness, and absolute corrosion resistance that rivals specialized nitrogen steels. To maximize its low-visibility signature and bolster field resilience, the plain-edge blade is cloaked in a non-reflective, scratch-resistant black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. Fired out smoothly via the iconic Trademark Round Hole™, the blade is balanced by a ridged thumb ramp and an integrated index-finger choil, allowing operators to safely "choke up" for ultra-precise fine-slicing control during intensive cutting loops.
The structural foundation of this maritime folder features premium peel-ply textured black G-10 handle scales CNC-machined with Spyderco's high-traction Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern. Borrowed from high-performance dive knives, this specialized arced groove matrix ensures an unyielding, non-slip purchase even when drenched in ocean water, slick fish oils, or thick mud. Underneath the synthetic scales, the knife utilizes nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners and hardware specially treated with anti-corrosion black coatings. These liners form the framework for Spyderco's patented, high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism, enabling safe, rapid one-handed closing strings without ever placing your fingers in the path of the sharp edge. Completed by a versatile four-position black stainless steel pocket clip that supports completely ambidextrous tip-up or tip-down carry arrays, this 3.40-ounce tactical asset commands absolute authority across any wet or dry landscape.
Includes: (1) Authentic Spyderco Para 3 Salt CPM-MagnaCut Blackout Folding Knife (Black DLC Plain Blade, Caribbean Textured Black G-10 Handles, 4-Way Adjustable Pocket Clip), Factory Warranty Documentation Guide, and Original Branded Sealed Retail Spyderco Presentation Box.
*Maintenance & Environmental Staging Guidance: Although CPM-MagnaCut steel and marine-grade hardware offer unprecedented, top-tier resistance to salt-water corrosion, no mechanical apparatus is entirely invincible to structural buildup. Following prolonged deployment strings in raw ocean water, it is highly recommended to flush the pivot mechanism, lock face, and nested liners with clean fresh water, dry thoroughly, and apply a drop of premium synthetic oil to the internal pivot bearings. Always check your local jurisdiction laws regarding the carry of locking pocket cutlery prior to establishing your daily concealment loop.
