The lightweight version of the Para 3 changed the game. It has a 2. But the magic is in the Compression Lock that works well in the lighter handle. Spyderco also fixed the poor clip of the original Para 3 and substituted a low-profile and well-placed wire clip. The Millie was one of the first knives to be subjected to the CQI and it remains an excellent option almost 30 years later. Interestingly, the Titanium Millie was one of the best versions but was recently discontinued. Still, the G Millies are available and worth every penny.
The Military is large with a 4-inch blade made from S30V. The handle is narrow and fits the hand quite well. There are a few deficiencies in the design like the lack of clip movement options, but for a heavy-duty folder, this knife does very well for itself. Best Knives. August 7, at pm. Good article, but it would have been nice to provide prices for those of us who are not as familiar or own any of these Spyderco knives.
And I say this because it sucks to click a link, return to the article, click, return, and so on. Also, much as I like to shop at Amazon and other online vendors, sometimes you find an inflated price or they are out of it. I buy them because I like them, but there are other knives that can take their place. Your email address will not be published.

Blade edges fall into one of three categories: straight, serrated, or partially serrated.
Straight edges slice well, while serrated blades specialize in cutting through coarse materials. Most EDC knives rely on the versatile clip point and drop point blade shapes or the tactical tanto pattern. Check out this Knife Buzz article for more on blade shapes. Whether or not the knife achieves that goal depends on how ergonomic the handle and grips are. Spyderco EDC knives feature a metal frame usually steel to provide in-hand stability and most rely on grip scales made of FRN fiberglass-reinforced nylon , G, or FRCP fiberglass-reinforced copolymer to provide solid traction.
What good is an EDC knife that is difficult to carry and deploy? Folding Spyderco knives use the trademark thumb hole for easy, one-handed deployment, and once open, your blade will stay in place thanks to one of nine available locking mechanisms.
Most folding Spyderco EDC knives feature a pocket clip that makes locating your knife more predictable than a second lieutenant getting lost on patrol. A Spyderco EDC knife can solve a wide range of problems from the most mundane to the extreme.
That said, a quality EDC knife must be ready to handle much more without breaking a sweat. Different knives are designed with different tasks in mind, but any good EDC blade must be ready to tackle emergencies of all kinds.
Slicing through seat belts requires a sharp, tough blade, while self-administering first aid may require that same blade to handle critical support roles, such as cutting splints or shearing bandages. Of course, the right Spyderco EDC blade doubles nicely as both an outdoor companion and a self-defense tool.
No matter what your field, an appropriate Spyderco knife provides more confidence than having your own personal A on call overhead. Spyderco knives possess a well-deserved reputation for quality.
The same can be said for their price tags as well, and Spyderco EDC knives are no exception. These knives tend to use lower quality materials by Spyderco standards, although they are still solid products. These knives include a variety of blade shapes, locking mechanisms, and more, all with their own Spyderco touch and high-quality materials. This price range also boasts some uncommon collaborations between Spyderco and custom knife makers, resulting in some one-of-a-kind, limited edition blades.
