Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
I didn't see where this was posted previously. Price is $127.95. Drop date TBD

Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
Looks like the same color (or really close) to me. I already have the SPY27 and DLT M390. So this is an easy pass for me

Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
Ya it does look very similar to me to the SPY27 color although I think I slightly prefer this color. I don’t have a LW para 3 yet so this might be my first.

Looks like the steel blue color in their endura exclusive. Im not a para 3 guy so one more for the rest of you.

Looks a lot like the DLT one that I have. I really like mine, so if this color strikes your fancy, or if you don't have the DLT (or both), I'd definitely recommend. 20cv at $128 is a nice deal. :)
Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
If only this was not LW, I would love this in G10 same color

Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
Hard for me to see how they differ. It'll be interesting to see a side by side comparison. Either way I'm a fan of the blue handles. So I'd be happy regardless
My absolute favorite FRN/FRCP color is the blue they use on the Manix 2 LW S110V. It's just a hair darker/deeper than what they use the Para 3 SPY27. Another nice one is the blue they used on the BBS Lil' Matriarch. It's just a little brighter than the SPY27. They're all nice choices though

I have a SPY-27 Para 3 LW but have been waiting for a dealer to do one of these in an M390-class of steel (that doesn't have red handles lol). Love the blue handles on the SPY-27 model, will definitely buy one of these when they drop!

Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
I havent even got a LW Blue Spy27 yet, (which I plan to), and an exclusive blue looking the same with 20cv comes out?
I dont know what a "hard pass" is, but this is an "easy pass" for me.
Many colors out there that havent been done, why blue?

Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
I'm not into the Para 3 LW, as the red one from DLT is enough for me. On the other hand, if this was a Native 5 LW in 20CV, then it would be an instant buy for me.
Best of luck to anyone planning to get one.

Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
I get the feeling this could be one of those very rare Para 3 drops that ends up sitting for a half hour before it sells out. Then again, I could be totally underestimating the Para 3 fan club haha! Seems like too many similarities to previous Para 3 drops.

Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
My SPY27 Para 3 lightweight looks a lot like my Manix 2 Lightweight S110V, also. I wonder what they'll do for the S110V model.

Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
Looks great, but I prefer a native 5 in this size category. I just looked at Spydiewiki and see that the Native 5 has never been run in the M390/20CV/204P family. Hopefully that is rectified soon!
Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
Love the color, love the steel, love the model. With that said, I've got the blue spy27 and the DLT m390, so we'll see how the knife fund looks when this drops. I'd like to see a side-by-side with the spy27 blue.
Does the hardware look like it's brass colored to anyone else?
Hmm...This could be a great birthday present for my bother to upgrade from his bd1n model.

I thought so too at first but I think it's just the lighting. Pretty sure the hardware's silver

Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
Probably true. But the pin for the clip sure looks like a different color than the other screws, doesn't it?

Re: Knife Joy Exclusive Para 3 LW 20CV
That is a fantastic color, although it does appear to be VERY close to the SPY27 color. What a fantastic value, though. $130 for an M390 analog in a lightweight 3" platform? Made in the USA? Comp lock? I'm so down.
I can't wait for a green Para 3 LW. C'mon Kinfeworks, or Bento Box, or even Knife Joker, I'm counting on you!

I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
