Blade HQ Para 3 LW in M4

[PaloArt]

Ordered mine today - incredibly affordable piece and such a funky piece! Can’t wait :o

[VooDooChild]

Im thinking with a patina and a dirty handle it will look a lot better.

Got mine today - I love the color and my example has the best centering of any para 3 lightweight I've had so far (and I've owned like 6 or 7 of 'em). I'm not sure how the uncoated m4 will hold up to summertime in MO riding in my shorts, but we will find out!

I got mine yesterday. Wasn't sure how I'd feel about the Para 3 in general since I have big hands(XL to XXL gloves). The LW barely fits with my pinky covering the clip screw but it's comfortable in hand and will be a light user so I'm not too worried about hot spots during hard use.

Dang. I'm surprised im saying this but i actually like the color.
Will there be a coated version?

No doubt. If I end up with one, we'll know for sure.

What am I missing? $122 and the SPY27 is $140? And, how is this still in stock?!?

I have one on the way. :D

As I have mentioned before “If it’s M4 I wouldn’t care if it was pink with polka dots”
(M4 hasn’t always been easy to get in sprints and Exclusives throughout the years, More places ship to Australia now so it’s getting better. But 10 years ago it was annoying)

I’d ESPECIALLY love a knife with M4 and polka dots…. If any distributors are reading this, please make it happen!

For anyone not happy with the color, I found this today on Reddit.

I love it. Thank you Sal and Eric!

Wanted to add some contrast. First attempt at stonewashing. May stonewash more (used small, relatively smooth stones) depending on how this wears. Will eventually add a Lynch clip, but so far liking this one.

Is the lighting not hitting it quite right, looks black to me? If that's the case...mint chocolate chip that thing and get some black hardware!

Yeah, lighting is quite poor, will get it outside tomorrow when the sun is up and get some better photos. Even then it will still be a St. Paddy's Day McFlurry :D

OOOoooOoO...my first job was McD's... that's perfection right there :p

I like that you instantly went after it, customizing your own knife!

Got mine! Pic taken in the Florida sun during the “golden hour” with no adjustments made. It’s a pretty exact representation of the color, I like it!

I previously had a Para 3 in G10 I quickly moved on to a new owner, it felt a little clunky for it’s size and didn’t connect with me. This lightweight version feels so much better in hand and I didn’t currently own any M4 so win-win. Thinking I’ll be enjoying this one for years to come.

Lightweights.

Rit Indigo Blue and black hardware. This is a great knife.
