The D'allara 3 is being discounted one the way out in 2019, but that doesn't mean it's a bad blade. It's likely that pricing was just too high to compete with Spydercos other great designs.

The ball bearing lock gets knocked a lot for being difficult to operate. However that is pure rubbish, unless you are planning to use this knife in the cold or rough field conditions. Do not buy this knife if you like to fidget open and closed hundreds of times. Your thumb and finger will get tired. For everyday use it's fine.

The blade shape is another feature that differentiates the D'allara from most Spydercos. It looks very similar in profile to a Stretch.

If you own a Manix 2, this has very similar dimensions. The cutting edge of the D'allara 3 is longer and has a shallow "belly." It would make a decent paring knife.

Construction is solid with skeletonized stainless liners and G-10. The weight isn't bad for these materials.

Another plus is this knife looks very non-threatening.

This is my EDC for now. It has a smooth action. It has a thin profile and doesn't have any protruding points, that'll make it uncomfortable when in your pocket. The wire clip is okay, not flashy, it does the job. Can always take it off. Spyderco quality is top notch. The ball lock is smooth and strong, but takes getting used to. It holds an edge well. I cut just about everything that needs to be cut. Boxes, strings, rope, canvas material, some meat. This would make a nice present for a special occasion. Use a dry lubricant so you don't attract dirt in the locking mechanism. Try one you won't be disappointed.
