Spyderco para 3

[ray1970]

So, recently picked up a para 3. Did the ?skinny mod? on the grips today and agree with the general consensus online that this is how it should have come from the factory. It fits my smallish hands very well and is much easier to access the hole on the blade for easy opening. Looks way better too in my personal opinion.






I have a deep carry clip on order from MXG that should be here Monday or Tuesday and then this will likely be my EDC for the foreseeable future.

Well, I had ordered a set of micarta scales just in case I didn?t like the skinny mod or in case I botched the job. Turns out I like the mod enough that I went ahead and reshaped the micarta scales as well.

The micarta looks great. I don?t know what the skinny Mod is but a Para 3 is high on my list.

No actual pictures but the stock grips kind of have a hump in the middle.



While it isn?t uncomfortable as is, removing the hump gives it a cleaner look and I prefer the hand feel.

I see it, makes sense and would agree, cleaner look.

Well my deep carry clip finally arrived so I?ve been carrying this all week and enjoying it. Thinking about maybe picking up a paramilitary 2 now and changing the scales and some of the hardware.

Making me want a Para.

Great work! I've got a Para 2 and love it, but it is a touch longer of a blade than I need. The 3 looks about perfect for my EDC needs, and the mod looks very interesting. How did you do it? I'm guessing a stationary belt sander would do the trick (with a mask of course, since G10 and micarta are supposed to be pretty bad for the lungs).
