Spyderco Forums

Hello all, talk of potential variants of the Para3 LW and the imminent Reveal of a DLC Para3 LW has me wondering about other stock model variants of this knife, particularly an S110V/dark blue version. Do we think this is a possibility, or even an eventuality? I can picture a Para3 LW with blue FRCP handle scales and S110V steel much like the Manix LW version. Anyone with any thoughts on the matter, please share them!

I think frn would be more likely. The manix 2 lw is the only knife I know of that uses frcp and I'm pretty sure all versions of the manix2 lw use it. It stands to reason that if they were going to run an s110v para3 lw in frcp, they probably would've run the bd1n version in it as well.

I think it is almost certain we will see a blue 110v variant of the Para3 LW eventually since it seems like every other popular Golden model gets the treatment. That is likely the one I will buy.

Id be down for an frn version.

I want one just for the blurple scales, I'm quite happy with BD1N. I guess I could put the S110V blade into the ugly black scales, and use it as a beater :D

Whatever material Spyderco uses for the lightweight version will be fine. I am honestly impressed how well it has held up. Different steel options/colors would be nice.

My two most carried Para3's are s110v and Maxamet - both of which come in Native/Manix LW versions. I am very hopeful these will be added to the Para3 LW line-up. Especially in their respective colors (dark blue and grey)!

That's a good point, I hadn't even thought of a Maxamet version, but it does make sense since it's now a stock model.
