Good job, this narrows the chioces down to some of the most popular knives from the other one. We need a sticky for this too. How does that get done?

Let's see - two ambidextrous knives and one not. PM is a great blade, but don't see how it's even being considered for that reason alone.

I still think that the PM is not a good idea. It costs twice as much as the other models. It is not ambedextrious either. How do we know if we have enough suppourt to even have a forum knife? So far only 49 people have voted and the minimum number of knives is 300.

Ok um,

To close the native or delica, you have to change hands and press down the lock.

No one hand closing.

I take these as negitive aspects.

The Para can be closed with 1 hand, if you are right handed, like the majority are.

Those being left handed maked absolutly no difference, from a Lackback lock on the native or delica. You still have to switch the hand and disengage the lock.

and if you are skilled enogh you can close the para left handed also.

so this whole ambedextrious stuff is garbadge.


As for the price.

Just save youre money for 3 months, we arent getting this knife soon. It will be near the end of the year, so just dont buy anymore knives and save.

1 Military is worth more to me than 3 Delicas. I dont know about you guys, but it is to me.

The whole price thing is crazy, to complain about. some people here have more than 5 knives. I say that in its own right is crazy and if you have more than 5, you can easily save up $200 for a knife.

Titus,
For cost there are no existing G10 natives or delicas to compare the PM price to. Some of us, me included would buy multiples. If offered in different blade configurations SE,PE multiples for sure, and if Red or Blue G10, I would probably not have to get the next custom done I was contemplating. As for ambedextrious and tip up those are fairly easy mods compared to new scales of Spyderco quality. Also if a deposit/prepay was implemented then Spyderco would know if it's a viable effort to produce them.
My 3 cents US.
