The Para 3 Lightweight raises that bar even higher by incorporating injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales and a streamlined version of our Compression Lock® mechanism to create a knife that is almost 30 percent lighter than its G-10-handled counterparts. The Para 3 Lightweight boasts a linerless, open-backed construction and a high-traction Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for a secure grip. A stainless steel lock bar inset into the handle’s interior forms the foundation of its sturdy lock mechanism, while keeping the overall weight to an absolute minimum. The knife’s full-flat-ground blade is crafted from CTS® BD1N, a nitrogen-enriched high-carbon chromium steel that offers a superior balance of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable with a choice of PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™ cutting edges, the tumble-finished blade features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ for swift, positive, one-handed opening with either hand.
