This expression of the Para 3 is specifically designed for applications where light discipline is a concern. Its CPM® S45V® stainless steel blade is cloaked in a tough, non-reflective Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating and its handle features textured G-10 scales with a digital camouflage pattern inspired by the U.S. Army’s ARPAT pattern. All other features are consistent with the standard version of the Para 3, including a full-flat grind for exceptional edge geometry and low-friction cutting performance, a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ for swift, ambidextrous, one-handed opening, a high-strength Compression Lock™ mechanism, and a four-position hourglass clip that supports left or right-side tip-up or tip-down carry.
