You may. Some time between today and 2026.



Jokes aside I bet it's one of the first in cue along with the Para 2. The Para 3 seems like a really popular seller, I'm kinda surprised they didn't go that route instead of the Native 5, but maybe since there was already a Salt Native 5 and they wanted to show the Salt worthiness of MagnaCut they went that route first. I'm sure there are also several dealer exclusives in the works and some of those may be MagnaCut variants.

I'm wondering if this steel will be more of a sprint/exclusive option or if it'll be standard production in several models beyond just the Native 5.

i don't know. i remember thinking once the p3lw was released that a salt was a natural progression and would soon follow. it didn't happen.

I would buy one. The para 3 lw has displaced almost all other knives recently except my manbug.

I totally grant you your MC Para 3... :smlling-eyes ... but still hope the MC Manix 2 LW will come first... :grimace

I can remember not too long ago when the Para 3 got almost all the variants possible.. to me personally no detriment if that starts to change a bit...

- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)

Hahaha I was actually looking at the LW Manix 2 and para3 in Spy27, and was thinking about how nice it would be if they were g10. 😜

I'd prefer the LW version comes first, and I don't particularly care about whether or not it's a Salt.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

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

We've been screaming from the hills for a PM2 in magnacut. I'm thinking they'll get to it in 2025..but by then there might be a better steel on the horizon :winking-tongue

If the pair of these I ordered work out like I hope they do, there will be more P3 LWs in my future, definitely including a MagnaCut.

I seem to recall that regular Para 3 blades might fit.

Also yeah, the Heinnie scales look nice. But now the UK is out of the Union, I dread the customs duties 🤦‍♂️

I had a deal for just a Para 3 LW blade and liner. But the guy wasn't ok with getting a normal amount of money for it. Otherwise it would have been worth it to buy the scales ! I think you'd have to count around 100€ total for the Ti LW scales.
:respect In the collection :respect : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.
