Will the Para 3 LW come in colors and BD1N?
It seems there will be many exclusives/sprints of this model. What I'm wondering is, will there be any versions with a handle color other than black, in the standard BD1N steel, like the Delica and Endura? One of the main reasons I want one is to try BD1N. I'd much prefer the handle in a color other than black, though.
I don't get people who only carry one knife

BD1N is available on the UK Penknife in leaf and drop point blade shapes with black frn handle; and is a less costly alternative to the para 3 LW if it will work for you. It is the direction I recently went as I wasn't aware of it before. I'll likely be able to pass on the para 3 lw as I am now getting my fill of BD1N.

Nice! I've been wanting one of those. Did you get that directly from Spyderco, or other vendor? Thx.

Re: Will the Para 3 LW come in colors and BD1N?
Apart from the Delica and Endura, colors appear to be reserved for sprints/exclusives and for special permanent knives like the "blurple" S110V knives. It would be great if they were offered in the same colors as the Delica/Endura in the main line up, but it doesn't seem likely unless they're sprints/exclusives. Zome would be great in the Golden made knives as well.

A locking UPKP is a Calypso, not sure which one... I guess a locking Urban would be a Dragonfly?

Yeah I guess the Caly 3 is the same but I don't care for the dragonfly handle but the urban handle is nice to use

I kinda wish Spyderco would make the standard color white or very pale gray on all FRN handle knives so we could just Rit dye them whatever color we want.

I’d hate to have to dye my scales every time they got all scratched up and the white/light gray started poking through.
