I too really like the color. I picked up a Spy27 for REC for my dad for Father’s Day, and I figured I have a complimentary 20v for me. The color reminds of the first knife that led me to Spyderco, a baby blue Benchmade MiniGriptian with a hole that was better for opening than metal studs. Little did I know...

I was amazed that I was still able to snag one @ 7:30 last night. Either it was a big order or not very popular. Either way I’m happy I got one.

I just don't think the lightweights are nearly as popular as the G10 versions of the Para 3, Manix, and Native. 20CV is also now obsolete with CPM-MagnaCut coming out. :D

Got one as a consolation prize for missing out on the XHP Shaman the day before. It'll be my first Para3.

Yup. As soon as MagnaCut was announced all of my 20cv knives chipped and shattered. Totally worthless now.

Color comparison for you all. I can't wait for shorts weather...these will all see plenty of pocket time then.

Actually I wouldn't call it baby blue. Closer to the v-toku blue iirc, but a bit darker. It's got that hint of gray. I'll look for something baby blue tomorrow to compare it with.

To me the color looks nearly identical to the V-Toku2 FRN from a couple years back -- I've been hoping it would sell out, but I guess I'm going to have to get one after all...

:(

I could certainly be wrong but to me it looks more blue than the V-Toku scales. The V-toku scales lean more toward grey. Maybe it's just the lighting? It would be interesting to see this one next to a V-toku model
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Ok here's a few more color shots in different lighting, taken with a shirt of mine that I'd say has both light and medium baby blues. Btw, my husband saw me taking these and was like "oh my God, are you color coordinating your knife with your clothes now???" Well...it could happen. :D :p

Mine is on track for delivery tomorrow. The more photos you post the more I like that color.
