Thanks for the pics.

I love you pick your knives matching to your kitchen wear :D

According a color picker its close to
#66869d ≈ Hoki

Personally not my favorite.
But I think you could grow into.
Like the burnt orange/ Rex45.

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.
I really like it. It's not too bright and it looks great with the satin blade and hardware. And of my three para 3 lightweights, this one came the closest to centered. This is the one case in which I prefer the frn model over the g10 model. In fact I sold all my g10 para 3s and only have lightweights now.

Here's a comparison between all my blue-handled Spydercos in a little better lighting.

Image

And here's the most color-accurate picture I was able to get. I agree that it looks most similar to the Vtoku2 knives, though maybe with a little more light blue thrown in (I don't have one of those anymore to compare it to). Some of Knifejoy's photos make it look like a bright baby blue, but it seems more like a dove blue/gray to me. It's actually a really pleasing color. I like it a lot more than I thought I would!

Great looking pics, thanks for posting! I kept waiting & hoping this one would sell out as I really don't *need* another Para3... but it didn't. I have one OTW as of a few minutes ago, I will post up some comparison pics as soon its in hand. :D

Is this true? I was in the market for my first para 3 lw and was shocked this one was still available. Ordered immediately.

Yeah flippers get rich off of FOMO... If it's not an instant sellout then it's not worth their time

Been away from the new model fever for awhile, but saw this in a promo email. Was going to
get a Spy27 at some point as I have no LW Para 3. So I have this one coming. $10 cheaper and a better steel?

I wanted to pull the trigger but the gun jammed.

Knifejoy does not ship to Europe.
I found 2 on ebay but I do not know if they ship to EU and they do not accepted answers.

I placed a bid now on another ebay auction.
Lets see how it works out.

Got mine last night, the color is definitely a gray-blue, and to me looks like a lighter version of the color of my last house, which Sherwin Williams calls Smokey Blue.

It took a good while on the KME last night, but I got it down to ~14 dps and sticky sharp. The paper that came with it mentioned that it was exclusive to Knife Joy, and while there could be multiple runs, that the combo would only be available through them. So maybe less of a limited run, and more of an exclusive combo that they plan to keep in stock?
