Para 3 K390. I am on a serious kick for K390 these days. Did not think a non stainless steel would get this much pocket time but it has won me over.

Image
That is a nice Para 3 right there and I'm surprised we don't see more of them around here. A steel everyone loves, a very popular model as well as a nice color for the scales.
15 :bug-red 's in 10 different steels
1 - Bradford Guardian 3 / Vanadis 4E Wharnie
1 - Monterey Bay Knives Slayback Flipper / ZDP 189
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays
1 - CRK Large Inkosi Insingo/ Black Micarta Inlays
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31 Insingo/Magnacut

It is a BBS exclusive though, so quite expensive.

Not exactly in my pocket but close handy knife of the day here. I love the lines of Mr Lum’s designs.

I’m partial to a sharp slab of VG10 too but I can’t quite tune this thing like I can a knife with two bronze thrust washers. I reckon it’s because the knife has a “nylon” thrust washer on one side. :eek:

One day I’ll turn up a bronze replacement and that should fix it. ;)

Thrust washer Bloke? Are you in the drilling industry perchance? The only time I’ve ever heard “thrust” used thusly was in reference to the “thrust bearing” on our UDR drill head. It gives us the hydraulic downforce and pullback ratings on the drill rig.

Ah, hahaha! Thrust washers indeed Woody! ;)

I reckon if the pivot screw exerts pressure on The Washers, and the swing of the blade exerts pressure on The Washers, and when you use the knife you exert lateral pressure on The Washer. I reckon The Washers are most likely Trust Washers. :)

A GIF doesn’t quite work, but this is all I could think of to try to Bloke the Bloke!
