I'm looking to pick up a para 3 with one of these good deals ... I am open to all suggestions on lightweight vs regular g-10, any blade steels really. What would be some of the best deals out there this weekend?
If you want basic, the para lightweight for $80 at KSF is a great deal.
I prefer the g10 in the para 3.
Knifejoy has their green 20cv version for $139.
KSF has the g10 digital camo dlc s45vn version For $119
Both KSF and Knifejoy are tax free for me. Not sure where you live, but just something to consider.

Rivers Edge (you have to put it in the cart), KnifeJoy and St Nick's all have it for $172.48.
It's possible I missed some but, I didn't find many of the S110v G-10 Manix2 on sale. KnivesShipFree has it for $200.20. Funny... that would have been a great price 3 days ago.
OK OK OK ... thanks to you guys, I just could not hold out. The pressure! Everybody getting a deal except for me...massive FOMO...so I broke down and got my first K390 Spyderco from KSF. I may be a chump, but a happy chump. I would *not* have purchased this knife without the MAP holiday (ahem: Spyderco, please note!), because it was only on the edge of my radar. Now to add a steel to my sig line...
I love that your avatar is an age progression portrait of what you'll look like when the order fills!
LOL, funniest post in the thread!
You’re going to love it. K390 is becoming a favorite steel of mine and I hope we see some sprint runs in it next year. I rolled the edge on my stretch 2 k390 in the first few days I had it, it easily sharpened out on a diamond plate and no issues since. Nice pickup!
Thanks for the Knifecenter tip, BIGSTRETCH.
Bought a CRU-WEAR Yojimbo 2 last night at 9:45.
This morning at 8:30, S30V satin and DLC
were still showing
but no CRU-WEAR was listed.
I must have gotten one of the last ones.
It took awhile for me to get past the appearance,
but after watching Janich videos
and putting a toe in the Wharncliffe water
with the handy little Byrd Robin 2
the Yojimbo 2 became my grail.
And this will be my first CRU-WEAR.
Really looking forward to it.
Sweet. I’m glad that I could give someone a heads up about the awesome deal. I managed to hold back somehow, but it is a great design, even from a non-tactical/utility perspective and cruwear is an ideal steel for it. Janich & Spyderco make a good team; he shares that spirit of innovation and form-follows-function approach to design that we all love here. Enjoy!
Started searching for Smocks much to late, but still got a decent deal at Knife Joy. The truly stupendous deals were all OOS. Found a s110v UKPK at a great prices as well.
My comment about not getting anything is increasingly incorrect. The count now stands at 3. That’s close to zero, right? Right??
And as other have said, without the MAP holiday and I would not have purchased any of them.

Same. I've held a $200 limit per knife since I started collecting. Got my first Yojumbo right before the DLC version broke two bills. At $220 I didn't plan to get a back-up, but for $150 I will.
Plus if I ever decide to part ways with it I can give someone a great deal and easily cover what I've got into it.
I'd buy a lot more knives if I could still get models like the Yojumbo, Police, Military and Manix XL for $120-150. As it is the DLC S30V versions are already above my limit. Glad I already have all I need.
