The Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight Salt Yellow FRN Serrated (C223SYL) is a top-tier everyday carry folding knife engineered for extreme environments, combining ultralight construction with cutting-edge steel technology and unmatched corrosion resistance. Designed as part of Spyderco’s renowned Salt Series, this model is built to perform flawlessly in wet, humid, and marine conditions.
At the heart of the knife is a 3-inch CPM MagnaCut serrated blade, offering an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. This advanced steel is widely regarded as one of the best all-around blade materials available today, making it ideal for both everyday tasks and demanding outdoor use. The SpyderEdge serrations enhance cutting efficiency, especially when slicing through fibrous materials like rope, straps, and heavy-duty packaging.
The lightweight yellow FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) handle is designed for durability and high visibility, ensuring the knife is easy to locate in low-light or overwater situations. Spyderco’s signature Bi-Directional Texturing™ provides a secure grip even in wet conditions, while the open-backed construction keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing strength.
