First Sprint Run for the Para 3 ?

[murphjd25]

I'd get one if it was Cruwear or a Blurple S110v! I'm going to hold off on this one for a sprint :)

[timlara]

I voted K390, but I think my first choice would be CTS-204p, as that has turned out to be my favorite PM2 sprint.

[SpyderNut]

M4 was my first choice and XHP would be a close second.

[Igi964]

M4 for a sprint.
S110V for regular production. In blurple please, like the others.

[Joris Mo]

Cruwear should just become a regular production option..

[BrianCo]

Cru-wear if it was on the list, voted for XHP instead.

[Bdubs808]

I would be very happy with CPM S35VN and tan or brown G10. I voted for CPM S90V.

[Freediver]

M390/204P/20CV with CF.

I'm with this guy. I would love one in m390 with CF scales. My original one should be delivered here within the next day or so and I can hardly wait.

[Liquid Cobra]

M390 or S90V please. Start with stainless.

[Holland]

K390 would be sweet. M4 would be amazing as well

[farnorthdan]

I voted 52100, just really like this steel and would love to see it offered in some other pieces.

[FDE]

Easy, Cruwear. Why isn't it on the list?

This!
I've owned knives in all of the above steels and Cruwear is hands down my favorite. I wish Spyderco would make it their new standard in place of S30V for all models.

[dplafoll]

I think we see the S110V production version before any sprints, and that's a good one. I'd be fine with a lot of different sprint steels. What I'd really love is for Spyderco to be able to afford a complementary production line for the Para 3 with CTS-XHP for the base steel, then CTS-204P for the upgrade (like S30V and S110V). Or, I'd love to see the Para 3 (and the rest of them, TBH) use S35VN on the base model instead of S30V. So I guess I'd be more interested in seeing Spyderco play around with different production steels instead of just sprints.
And I say 204P there over 20CV simply because I'd rather see XHP than S30V, and then the upgrade steel would be from Carpenter as well.

And for a sprint, I'd want to see a larger run of them in one of that family of M390, 204P, or 20CV.

I'd be surprised to see a sprint before we see what the production variants are. Digi camo? Blurple? Black DLC? Etc.

My tastes are not sophisticated enough to quibble over steel variations, but I am one of those that is eager to purchase a Para 3 with Black handle, black Blade, and black screws.

1. cruwear
2. m4
3. s90v

any / all of these!

[Liquid Cobra]

Now that I think about it, it would be nice for its first sprint to be something we've never seen before. New color, new steel.

[RamZar]

Assuming we'll get the CPM-S110V Blue G-10 production model down the road, I think the Sprint candidates for steel choice are the same ones as for ParaMilitary2:

• CPM-D2
• CPM-S90V
• CPM-S35VN
• CPM-M4
• M390/CTS-204P/CPM-20CV
• CTS-XHP
• Elmax
• CRU-WEAR
• 52100

[wrdwrght]

Missed the Elmax PM2. Would happily have an Elmax Para3, but, gads, if the sequence is the same as the PM2, the wait will be l-o-n-g.

[toomzz]

1. 10V darkgreen G10
2. Maxamet with lightgray G10
3. XHP with orange G10

[TALON52]

Cruwear for me too, I went with the M390.
