This 4V flat leaf blade is going to be incredible.

Edit: To be honest this is what I tell myself about every sprint run however.... This one will be special.

Carbon tool steel folders are weird! :) The main advantage is for prying. Yeah I pry but I mainly use my folders as a do it all cutting tool so I find that a high quality stainless is best. S35VN is an excellent cutlery steel.

I know. After living with one of Sharp Guy’s Para 3s for a couple of weeks I’ve grown more fond of the knife. I really like the Para Military 2 but when I had one it seemed too big (for me) to carry frequently. The Para 3 hits that sweet spot though and has most of the defining characteristics ...
