    Sold Spyderco Para 3 Maxamet

    Spyderco Para3 in Maxamet in grey G10 (but with box for a UKPK). Really smooth and rapid blade action and has seen very little use. As this is Maxamet super steel with absurd edge holding abilities, it will corrode very easily on you, and this has rust spots on the blade which I have...
