Which is why the Founders crafted a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. Too bad statesmen have been replaced by politicians.

I'm really hoping that they make a LH Para3 LW with a black blade. I have the LH para2 and it would be awesome to have some color variety,

Didn't you say that awhile back?

I don't think they abandoned it. I think they just used it up! :)

More seriously, the majority of the versions that weren't regular production were dealer exclusives. I think most of the dealers that wanted to do a P3 exclusive have done them. It wouldn't surprise me to see another one come along. Also keep in mind you have the S45VN regular production model to look forward to
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Sure. I also used to care, but Spyderco shattered my hopes and dreams. Nothing but hipster knives.

What is a "hipster knife"? Also, why are you posting on an online forum if you don't care anymore?

You haven't been around long enough, and Crux has been disappeared for a while. He means no harm, just a MAJOR Para 3 enthusiast.

Good to see ya Crux!

This is the second thread where you´re calling the Reveal-folders "hipster knives"... I am sure you´re kidding, right? :)
I mean - serrated K390 Endura, Salt in ffg LC and so on, everything else but "hipster knives" for me.
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

dude... i tried to throw you a bone and commiserate with you a little, but seriously... the hyper-emo woe is me passive-aggressive whining about the para 3 routine is getting old. there are way more variants of the para 3 than some other knives that are popular among forum members (manix xl comes to mind). it gets exclusives and sprints all the time. it's one thing to suggest new variations and hope for more, but it's quite another to whine like this. it's just not productive and it's not going to get you whatever knife you're hoping for.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.
