Para 3 . . . 25 in 24 Days

[Freediver]

Impressive collection! I think my wife would kill me.

[ucfgrad93]

Holy crap, I hate to think of how expensive that was.

[Woodpuppy]

Impressive collection! I think my wife would kill me.

Seconded, on both counts. She’s fairly “understanding” when I buy different knives, but that many that are shaped the same..... :eek:

[andrewu750]

Now that is impressive.

I have about 27 knives, all different shapes and sizes and brands and I don't think my wife can even tell the difference... Lol

Let's just say that I did my fair share of intercepting packages and smuggling them into the house. If my wife ever joins this forum, there's a good chance the resulting crime photo will also include all 25 variants of the Para 3, but this time sticking out from the deceased.

My wife and I play a game of I don't see the shoes she sneaks in, she doesn't see the knives...and when one of us gets caught, "it was on sale."

[W7H2O]

You did well grasshopper.
That picture looks like it should be framed and hanged on a wall.

[justjohn]

Holy crap...I mean well done inversion!!! :D

[Woodpuppy]

“On sale”

Kinda like... “what, this old thing? I’ve had that.”

Wait... I'm not the only one who does that? :D

Excellent choice in knives, great collection and an awesome photo! #26 is out and shipping. :) Any hints about the other 19?

[husq2100]

lol, you collect the opposite way to my strategy. :) and I don't even own a Para 3 yet. :eek:

Where did you buy the red M390 off? Can't have been a cheap snatch...

Red M390??? no such thing in Para 3

Looks like it's a mistake in Maxamet part numbers. C223GDGY vs C223GPDGY

It's the same Maxamet Para3 with Dark Gray G-10 which came out in March 2018. Sometimes the "P" for PlainEdge is in there and sometimes it's not.

At least it'll have a 2019 date on the blade.

You mean the manufcaturing month and year code on the box?

[Crux]

No, on the blade near the pivot under the scales.
