I really just hope the handles are less square than the Manix 2 and Native 5. Please round off those corners.
Agree. I have a Manix LW and while overall I like it the squared of handle edges are a put off. Almost makes it look "cheap".

Is there a way to get the Reveal delivered as an email like the byte is? This would be a fantastic service for those who are only occasionally on the forum, but still want to keep up on new releases!
+1 ^^

Re: Spyderco new FRN Lightweights: What do you think will be the best?

I'm most interested in the Para 3. The G10 versions have become my go to models for edc. I rotate between s110v, m4, and maxamet models. Never had a knife in CTS-BD1N. I kind of wish the knife was in something different. I'm certainly no steel expert but I think m4 is my personal current favourite. ...

Re: Sal, are there any plans for another K390 knife?

Para 3 seems to be a successful platform already for different steels.
I'd certainly be in for one.

Re: Finishing edge with diamond loaded strop?

Not related to grit scale but I would go to the wicked edge forums for tips on stroping with their system. You can get an amazing edge but have to be careful with technique so as not to roll the edge. I think backing the angle setting slightly lower from your stone setting and very light pressure is...

Re: M4 Para 3 Jade G10

I caved and got one to go with the Maxamet and S110V versions I have. Para 3 is my favourite carry now.

Re: M4 Para 3 Jade G10

I was going to grab one of these to add to my maxamet and S110v versions but now with the burnt orange / rex45 announced in the midyear I'm not so sure.

Re: PM2 to PM3, happy?

I am really liking the Para 3. I own both the S110V and Maxamet versions. I've sold off 3 of the 4 Paramilitary I own now. Seriously considering selling my last one. I have a few Manix which cover off that size of a blade for me.

Re: Actual users

My three keepers.
Manix S30V hollow grind for work bench heavy use.
Para 3 Maxamet for edc.
Chaparral S30V for dress occasions.

The other 5 or so I usually have are "extras" .

Re: KnifeCenter Exclusive CPM-Cruwear Paramilitary 2

If this was the Para 3 , I would have bought it. I just find myself carrying that version way more now than the Paramilitary.

Re: Pick a favorite out of these 5....

I picked them Para 3 because that and Manix are my two favourite spydies. Para 3 seems to be getting some blade steel variation which is nice. I wish they would stick their Manix Maxamet blade in a G10 version and not just the lightweight.
