See Beater Options →The blackened Para 3 takes the proven platform of the standard C223GP and eliminates every reflective surface. A Diamond-Like Carbon coating is permanently bonded to the CPM S45VN blade, adding a hard, chemically resistant layer that protects the steel while delivering a non-reflective matte black finish. Black-coated liners and handle hardware complete the all-black build. The Compression Lock, full-flat grind, and peel-ply G10 handle geometry are identical to the standard version — this is the same outstanding knife for those who prefer to carry without light discipline concerns. Made in USA.
