Spyderco C223GPDGY Para 3 (Maxamet, Clip Point, Satin, Gray G10, Compression Lock) Pocket Knife

The Spyderco C223GPDGY  Para® 3 Maxamet® is a premium-performance folding pocket knife that combines the proven Para 3 platform with the extraordinary cutting capabilities of Carpenter® Micro-Melt® Maxamet® blade steel. Designed for users who demand exceptional edge retention and cutting performance, this American-made knife delivers elite everyday carry functionality in a compact and ergonomic format.

At its core is a full-flat-ground Maxamet® blade, a highly advanced powdered tool steel originally developed for industrial steel mill rollers. Known for its extreme hardness, wear resistance, and outstanding edge retention, Maxamet® approaches the performance characteristics of cemented carbides while maintaining the practicality of a folding knife blade. Spyderco is among the few manufacturers capable of successfully machining, heat treating, and grinding this demanding steel to produce reliable, high-performance cutting tools.

The blade features Spyderco’s Trademark Round Hole™ for fast, fully ambidextrous one-handed opening and is supported by the proven Compression Lock® mechanism for strong, secure lockup and smooth operation.
