Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight Pink C223PPN FRN CTS-BD1N, Pink Heals pocket knife

The Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight Pink C223PPN FRN CTS-BD1N, Pink Heals is a cool EDC pocket knife. This pink version of the Spyderco Para 3 is part of Spyderco’s Pink Heals campaign to raise money for women battling cancer. A percentage of the proceedings is donated by Spyderco to various charities.

The Para 3 Lightweight is a lighter version of the incredibly popular Spyderco Para 3. As the name might already suggest it weighs next to nothing: only 70 grams. As a result, it is one of the lighter EDC pocket knives on the market. Especially when you look at its size.

Fortunately this doesn’t mean that it is less strong than the G10 version. The FRN handle is often used on Spyderco knives and we know that it can handle quite a lot. This FRN handle, however, is different. The grip pattern, for instance, is slightly more shallow. As a result the handle is only 11 cm thick and barely noticeable in your pocket.

You open the Spyderco Para 3 Light-Weight with the thumb hole, as you have grown accustomed to from Spyderco. One of the easiest ways of opening a knife if you ask us. When opened Spyderco’s own Compression Lock locks the blade. This is a rock-solid lock you control on the spine of the handle. This version of the Para 3 features a blade made from CTS-BD1N steel. Quite a mouthful, isn’t it? All you need to know is that it is a stainless type of steel that is easy to sharpen. It is quite strong and retains its sharpness well. Simply a great type of steel for EDC-use because it is very balanced.

The Spyderco Para 3 light-weight is one of the most accessible and fine EDC-knives in the light-weight range. A pocket knife that will fit any collection and any user.
