Welcome to the forum! Just got my Cru-Wear para 3 moments ago. The maxamet should be a must have as well. :D

I would actually really dig a blue M390 Para 3. I see myself owning a few of these. I've only had mine for 24hours, but I'm loving it. A stout little knife, you can really put a lot of leverage and power behind your cuts.

I wonder what their price will be. I'm guessing $185 since Bento doesn't like selling at (or even near) MAP, especially sprints and their exclusives. I hope another place has an M390/20CV/204P exclusive or there is a sprint run in one of these steels.

I have myself heard nothing. And they don't have anything on their page about it... but Price? Just to give you an idea BBS is selling the Cruwear PM3 sprint for $209 at the moment. If they make an exclusive it probably won't be cheap. MSRP is their business model (nice if your looking for hard to find, bad if you're looking for a bargain).

Thanks, I was actually eying their HAP40 Stretch, but decided I don't need it.

I was estimating $185 because they still have the PM2 msrp and sale prices listed at $218 and $190 respectively, and the Para 3 is about $5 cheaper than the PM2 normally.

You could definitely be right about that.

Yeah, I'm familiar with their "model"... not the best, in my opinion. But, they have what I want. If I have to pay the amount of a Wendy's combo or two more to get it, I guess I'll just get over it. lol. I've done it twice already.

Why no production Millies in m4, Cru-Wear, m390, Maxamet... Sorry. It had to be asked. This is unacceptable!

Correct me if I'm wrong...

M4 - Blade HQ Exclusive Jade G-10 (this year)
Cruwear - Production Light Gray G-10 (couple of years ago)
M390 - Carbon Fiber (before I got into Spydercos)
Maxamet - not yet

I'd say low demand. Most have access to the Sprints and Exclusives already available now, and there probably isn't enough demand to justify a regular production run. But Spyderco listens, start a thread about production Millies with M4, if you get enough people interested your wish could come true. :D


...Now back to why I love Spyderco and the 8+ new Para 3's :D

I saw a disassembly vid by Nick Shabazz where it appreared very difficult to take the Para 3 apart. Is this still the case with the red lock tight and lanyard tube?

I believe the lanyard tube on the Para3 is now stepped instead of flared which should make it easier (correct me if I'm wrong guys) but honestly I've yet to take apart the Para3, the last PM2 I did was a booger though with the flared tube.
Happy to be part of this great forum and group of down to earth spyderco addicts, Thanks Sal and gang.
