S45VN Forest Green G-10 (Diamond Arc Pattern)

[RamZar]

Looks like Military by a wide margin. I guess it helps that we haven’t had a new Military Exclusive or Sprint Run in over 19 months.

[Maximumsmoochy]

I'm all for the Military in this config, would also like to see the Shaman as such - would love to see how the contoured scales cooperate with the pattern texture.

[PStone]

I’m in for the Military 1000%. I’m also in for a Lil’ Native. I think the diamond texture would be an excellent feature on the smaller platform knifes.

[qwkzotc]

Yep, you get my vote for a Military.

[Hambone]

Yes to a Yojimbo! Some good options/paths with this one.

[nerdlock]

I can get behind a Military sprint release, if there is any chance that the company can drill clip mounts on the show side for the lefty minority afis out there...

[Pancake]

Seems like Military has some support. And it would be nice to complete the entire family of PM2, Para 3 and Military.

[MrMatnenko]

Currently have PM2 with this scale. And I wonder, why it becomes of white shade, and how to look after this type of pattern?

[kobold]

There is always a free spot for a nice Millie, Chief and Native in my collection.

[Burton Knut]

Manix 2, Manix XL and Native Chief would all be added to my collection.

[Notsurewhy]

Would love to see more of the textured scales. It's likely get a native, chief and/or manix if offered.

Slightly related: It's probably been mentioned and I missed it, but the regular black and the camo pm2s on the SFO website are now listed as having S45vn blades. Both are currently sold out, so I guess that means the next run will be S45vn?

I’ve grown to really appreciate my M4 linerless g10 native 5 and would jump at this version of the n5.

It could be salt deposits from your sweat...I have the Para3 version which I carried earlier today, and it also has that dusty whitish particles on the scale...I do live in the tropics so I'm guessing it's from sweat.

you have P3 LW Spy27 and P3 s45vn?
just hesitating , wether pick up P3 diamond arc scale, or lighter and smoother P3 LW , FRN scale?

Yep, I do have both...it's a tough choice, since I love the Para 3/LW family. I guess it depends on what do you prioritize. The G-10 Para 3s are very solidly built and can take a beating for their size, but the Para 3 LWs are lighter and disappear in the pockets, have deep carry clips and in my opinion, more comfortable curved scales. On the negative side, the Para 3 LW has some serious blade centering issues, and the FRN grip isn't the grippiest.

I know it might not be the advice that you want, but if you have money, get both! Spy-27 is a very interesting steel and I have enjoyed using it for EDC so far.

But for general purposes or if you really need to choose only one, go with G-10.

appreciate your advice!
are you comfortable with diamond arc texture?
looks like, I'll get both, or even 3 of them). One diamond arc , to pair my PM2 the same scale, g10 black/black , as a want discreetness (just placed the order on DLT) , and still, need more, to try LW FRN... So the choice is, Spy27 satin, or another black/black...

As a fan of green knives, I really really like forest green G-10 and would encourage its use throughout the product line.
It wouldn't bother me if forest green G-10 replaced the camo G-10 entirely. Seems just as useful.
I'd love to see it on one of the upcoming compression lock wharncliffes.
