The original design intent of the Paramilitary was to provide the same proven reliability and cutting performance of the Military but in a more compact, easy-to-carry package. The design also showcased Spyderco's patented Compression Lock—a high-strength lock mechanism housed in the spine of the handle that offered several significant advantages over the Military's liner lock. Additionally, with our extensive selection of high-quality custom parts and accessories, you can customize your para 3 to reflect your unique style.
