Para 3 nudge

#1

Post by gull wing »

Went on a trip, had to lay my Para 3 M390 down for a while.
Picked it back up and it was so great. The handle just fits me, like it was made for me. Easy open, safe unlocking.
The M390, what a super steel, I've only sharpened it once (Sharpmaker) and it bites at anything in front of it.
I don't know if this will be my all time favorite, but it could very well be.
This knife is so good, I haven't taken it apart (rare for me). No need for adjustment, it's perfect(rare).
:) I may never dye the scales.
Great knife.

I agree on the Para 3! Been rotating my M390 version , Chaparral, and custom Bugout for daily carry. Ergonomics are so good ...I still can't believe how much I like the grip with my XL sized hands.

Where did you buy your Para3 in M390? Would love to know. Thanks!

Yep. That's the one that made me love the Para 3. I'm really not into the Para 2--far prefer the Manix. But the Para 3 handle really fits my hand incredibly well. It's weird that the P2 was such a "meh" for me and the P3 is so good for me.

Same here, although I feel like the PM2 fits my hand more comfortably, the Para 3 feels great in my hand with the MXG deep carry set to tip up.

Went camping this weekend, left my Para 3's (St Nick's and BBS) at home. Took my ZDP Dragonfly and my PM2. I do miss them, but am blessed to have the ones I do :)

Am i the only one who likes the O.G. Paramilitary best of the three?

I bought an S30V Para3 as soon as it was released, but didn't do it and was quickly gone. I think it just wasn't what I'd imagined since I was waiting for it. I tried again when the Cruwear sprint came out, same thing. I recently got the 4V exclusive and immediately put a deep carry clip on it, and now I get it.

They really need to make more of these Para 3's in M390, I see they are out of stock at B Box Shop.
I know, how about making them a regular stock item, in black G10. :D
