I believe I now have the BEST Spyderco

#1

Post by gull wing »

I've ever had and I have had many. :)
Just opened the Bento B S exclusive (Para 3 M390). It's the same great fit and finish, perfect lock, with all of the same great detail as my other Para 3 but with the beautiful M390 blade.
I didn't think Spyderco(Golden) could sharpen a blade any better than they have in my past knives, but they even beat that high.

So why do I think this Knife is the best? I already know the Para 3 has the best package(for me), then add the M390, which I have another knife(another brand) with M390 and I love the way it sharpens to a crazy sharpness and keeps that high a reasonable amount of time. I CAN SHARPEN THIS STEEL! I just can't get the hang sharpening S110V. :(

I may even learn to like the Smurf Blue.

I think the M390 really sparkles next to the blue, so clean and bright!

Nice choice gull wing! My BBS Para 3 arrived in the mail today also and I'm very impressed with it as well. Fit and finish is excellent and the M390 blade is stunningly sharp. The action is butter smooth, if a little stiff still.. I imagine it will break in nicely. My only minor gripe is that the G-10 seems a little rougher on this knife than it does on my other Para 3.. although, I suppose anything that's actively trying to keep the knife in my hand is a good thing..

I had never ordered from BBS before and, I won't lie, I was a little hesitant to do so, given some of the reviews of them on this forum.. and the webpage design straight out of 1998. But I was put at ease seeing that the transaction was conducted through PayPal.. shipping was quick and I received a very high quality piece. I'm quite satisfied and would not hesitate to order from BBS again.

I imagine this one will see a lot of pocket time. I even love the color..

I think the para 3 is my hands down favorite too. M4 for me so far. And yeah, I prize a steel I can sharpen!!

Great to hear from you all.
Wish they would produce more (lots more) of the M4. :D

I really like the Para3. I also like M390. And the Bento Blue is probably my favorite color.

I absolutely love mine. My favorite steel, and my favorite color. It’s been the only knife I’ve carried for a while. The only one that might rival it is the upcoming orange XHP one!
