Spydercos are overpriced/underfeatured. This model is flimsy, OK steel, and has way too much handle for the tiny blade.
Oh, and plastic scales (handles).

I mean everyone has something to complain about. This is probably plenty of knife for most people at a good price. It's not going to wow the super enthusiasts because it's not meant to at that price point. I'm not seeing any posts linking a better 80$ products only complaints that it's not equal to a 120/150$ product

All black version also on sale. I'd been eyeing this. Thanks!

Why is this one $10 more? It can't be just the color, can it?

That does sound like a good deal. Any experience with the dealer? Looks good to me.

As a knife nerd, I can assure you that the Para 3 Lightweight is indeed one of the world's best designed knives, LOVE IT! - however it is the CTS- BD1N steel on this version on sale that I take issue with, it's very mediocre. - What you want is something that won't rust and holds an edge forever, one of the newer super steels such as S90V, S110V or K390, the Para3 lightweight has been made in some of these in the past, such as S90V - it was also made in M390, another great choice. Make sure to get the newer improved model with fall-shut and the wire clip mounted at the very end of the knife. (which this model is, and has both of those features) - Don't get me wrong, this is great deal - I have this knife in S90V, but I had to pay $200, worth it to me to never get dull.

This is a pretty good deal. I have a Para 3 lightweight and it's my favorite EDC. So tempted to get another Hard to pass up at this price!
why this knife is expensive?

Lol, it's not a deal..it's linerless that makes the knife allot weaker than a normal para 3..
Yeah, and a lot lighter than heavier knives with unnecessary liners - it's plenty strong if you aren't a pea-brain trying to use it as a pry bar or something ridiculous!

Better knife? you're cracked, that is a silly knife in VG10, the Para3 is orders of magnitude better, not even in the same league.

I've got a couple - every bit as good as $100 worth of Spyderco. This particular model is fairly large, FYI.

FRM Spydercos are among the best in the world, very light, very well designed very strong, and equipped with the best steels in the world, and some come with the best pocket clip (the famous wire clip), without being $500+. That's why Para3 lightweight was Knife of the Year.

That is fairly common. I prefer the satin so I usually search for that variety because I prefer it unless it is a steel like M4.

Great deal if you like a PIECE OF JUNK injection molded knife that you can't disassemble. Spend $40 more and get a real para 3! Besides that the bent coat hanger they call a pocket clip is also CHEAP JUNK!

In41. I've never spent more than $40 on an edc but a friend of mine said this was a great deal on a good knife.
