Para3 OD green Cruwear

#1

Post by John Ryan »

What are the chances we can see a OD green and Cruwear Para3 lightweight in the future??

Until then I managed to score a GP knives Rex 45 with dlc blade and white frn scales which is obviously a perfect candidate for Rit Dye so going to do some research into what colours are available locally for me.

Will post the results!!

I'd rather see a regular Para 3 with OD green micarta and Cruwear, but that's me.
Once I got a Sage 5, it ruined the Para 3 LW for me.

Check out the Saint Nick Knives P3 LW in 4V dropping soon. The red is a nice touch with the DLC.

Was going to mention this. They already did a Dragonfly and a Delica in this combo, I’d bet they have a few more in the pipeline.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Yeah it wouldn't surprise me if this is already in the works

I live near Brisbane too and was wondering about RIT dye. It is sold locally in Spotlight stores if you are after some. I am holding off on dying my UKPK Salt just because I've never done it before but I need to man up and buy some Dark Green to try it out. Hope you post your result.

DLT did OD Green PM2s in DLC S30V and S90V. Their DLC Cruwear PM2 was purple G-10 with a satin Cruwear purple G-10 in the pipeline...

Where did you see this? I attempted to look it up, but I'm coming up blank on all fronts.

Yes, but no - as Ben Ben pointed out. The Foliage Green G-10 was a Seki exclusive color. Foliage Green is considerably lighter in shade than olive drab, and was used in the ACUs the Army issued in the 2000s.

I assumed he was referring to to the Cruwear dragonfly with FRN scales not the G10 version

Yes. The P3 lw is definitely lacking in the rigidity department my friends fell apart in his pocket.
