I think by law it has to be a Para 3.
Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:

I should edit the first post of this thread and say I tried the Police 4 and not only was it not too much, it's awesome :D

I'd still like to see more K390 though :)

It implicitly states, no foreign steels in Golden made knives.
Rex45 or A11/10v should satisfy the k390 itch for most users.

Much as I'd like to try K390 in a blade larger than the Urban, I like the policy and enjoy carrying knives made in America from American steel. (And yes, I also enjoy knives built around the world and own many examples.)

There have been exceptions in the past, and will be an exception for the upcoming Manix 2 M390. It's not concrete, but I kinda wish it was. I like the idea of buying Japanese made knives for Japanese steels and American knives for American steels. Now there needs to be more European knives, to satisfy the European steel demand.

An exception for exclusives, I guess.

Yes, but since the Para 3 was voted Knife of the World, by the, ah, world, It is excluded and it's the go to platform that every super steel hopes to be a part of. If a steel can get on the Para 3 platform it's like you've made the Big League, you're in the Hall of Fame. Surveys prove that 7 out 10 knives wish they were a Para 3.

Yes but as good as the para3 is, the sage1 is more suited for k390, was voted knife of the universe, and one of remaining 3 of 10 that don't wish it were a para3.

This absolutely sounds like junk science, but as I have an open mind I will research this conspiracy theory. Also, I'm not sure I'm willing to accept the Universe's vote as they have done little if anything to produce a worthy knife. Oh, the light saber you might say, ok sure but until I can buy one online I think the Earth has spoken. Obviously the Solar System agrees it's the Para 3. And I don't want to sound like a bigot, but screw those outside the Solar System. I mean it not like they pay taxes or anything.

Linerless G10 Native is the infinity best knife, but it only has eyes for the infinity best steel...CPM-CRUWEAR! So you can keep your second rate steel and put it in your second rate knives! Give me a CRUWEAR NATIVE or give me dea...wait, no, a 4V Native is a good alternative if CRUWEAR isn't available...thanks! :D

Is it possible that visitors from outer space have come to Earth in order to buy Para3’s? Could it be that Spyderco is communicating with these so called “Knife gods” to make advances in knife steel and heat treats?

Ancient astronaut theorists say.....yes.

If we weren't competing for intergalactic knife-making supremacy, why then would Spyderco's Golden knives proudly proclaim, "Golden, Colorado U.S.A. Earth"?
