Para is on its way

#1

Post by J Smith »

I just got the PE para from Sawers on Ebay.

#078V,the last one they have.Looks like it may get hard to find one soon.

It was a toss up between it or the black blade Military.I guess I will get it at blade.

Jeff,
I'd be curious how you'd compare it to the G10 Native. I know that there has been posts about another G10 Native. I've found that the para fits my hand a little better than the G10 native and I love that tip (I never had a military, the size was just too big for me). IMHO I'd rather see alternate colors of G10 on the para rather then redoing the native <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Be Excellent to each other.

I would really love the see a Para with DLC coating and a desert tan scales.I have handled the Para before and it feels just as good as a military,a little better than the Native.The only thing I am worried about is with it feeling so much like the military,will I be able to get used to the compression lock?
Maybe if Sal can do a small run of the colored scales and black blades some of them could be engraved and sold as forum models.Only engrave about 25 to 50 at a time so as not to have a bunch of then sitting around not selling.
I would pay full retail for one of them.
