I like this idea, a lot.
GP Knives Exclusive Para 3 LW: Rex45, White FRN
Re: GP Knives Exclusive Para 3 LW: Rex45, White FRN
Dang it, another knife I gotta have that I'll never use! Lol. I really do like the idea of having a Rex45 blade in a knife under 3 ounces. My M2 is simply heavy, but it sure looks nice! Maybe I oughtta handle a PM3 first?
Re: GP Knives Exclusive Para 3 LW: Rex45, White FRN
Seems like you'd get bleed-through under the rubber bands given the handle texture.Spydergirl88 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 8:35 pmHmm I wonder if a tie dye effect could be achieved with rit dye and rubberbands...
I believe I've seen hot glue used successfully before, though.
Re: GP Knives Exclusive Para 3 LW: Rex45, White FRN
Here's a couple BF threads with RIT + hot glue pics that haven't 404'd yet. Not sure if I've seen it on white FRN; most examples are on yellow salts.

I wish this were a Delica or Straight Spine Stretch. I'd be all over it. The P3 is not the knife for me.

I tend to agree, I was more interested in Rex45 before the quantitative testing of it came out, and folks were saying it was a fairly tough steel. Less interested now that I know it performs largely like 20CV without the corrosion resistance. Still, I'd probably pick up a Delica and maybe a Stretch in this configuration. Moar special Sekis!

Oof, thanks for the heads up... I would have completely forgot about this one otherwise.Buddafucco wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 7:00 am3 hours to go... https://www.gpknives.com/spyderco-para- ... 23pwh.html

Thats the only problem with announcements weeks in advance... people tend to forget.

Similar in performance to properly heat treated 20CV, 204P, M390 which is the kicker as that's not easy to find. Much better edge stability though.Gtscotty wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 8:34 amI tend to agree, I was more interested in Rex45 before the quantitative testing of it came out, and folks were saying it was a fairly tough steel.

Yeah, man. I agree with you. This clown is awfully combative.
Back to on topic, I'm totally in for a pair of these if I can get my order placed in time today.

Re: GP Knives Exclusive Para 3 LW: Rex45, White FRN
Got my pair ordered now to decide what they shall become...

By far the easiest Sprint run I ever participated in. No reloads, timeouts, and tax too! Can't wait to mod the knife.

Do the FRN versions open and close as easily as the G10 versions?
Re: GP Knives Exclusive Para 3 LW: Rex45, White FRN
Mine are all pretty good but the G10 versions have better actions and are easier to dial in
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: GP Knives Exclusive Para 3 LW: Rex45, White FRN
Ordered one.

Re: GP Knives Exclusive Para 3 LW: Rex45, White FRN
If I hadn’t picked up the BHQ M4 P3LW earlier this year, I’d probably bite. As it stands they’re too similar although I do think this one’s a bit cooler. Looking forward to see what these end up looking like once in the wild.
Re: GP Knives Exclusive Para 3 LW: Rex45, White FRN
Thanks, appreciate the reply. Kinda figured that might be the case. At the risk of incurring other's wrath, the knife's (Para 3) action is really the only appealing quality to me. I like the steel this one is offered in, and really want a smaller knife than my M2 is Rex45, but not sure this is the one for me. Hmm. Still undecided, lol.
