It is built around cobalt and niobium rather than chasing maximum hardness, which means good edge retention and strong corrosion resistance while staying easy to sharpen. It also develops a soft patina with use rather than staying mirror bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Sharpening\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe previous owner put his own edge on this knife, so it does not have the factory grind anymore. Worth saying plainly. On a working steel like SPY27 that is a normal part of ownership rather than a problem, and whatever edge is on it now, you will be putting your own on it soon enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Para 3 Lightweight\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the Para Military 2 shrunk down and lightened up. Same Compression Lock, same grip geometry, under two and a half ounces. It is the Spyderco people carry when they do not want to think about carrying a knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Back Door\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Back Door is where returns, blems, one-offs, demos, factory seconds, and trade ins go.
