I'm new to the forum and also the knife carrying thing. I've looked at Spyderco knifes a few times but haven't had the itch to spend the money on one until a couple weeks ago.
Well last night I ordered a Para 3, a TI blue deep pocket clip, TI blue spacer, TI blue lanyard tube, and TI blue screws.
Total investment was: 173.99
Knife $119.99
Accessories $54
I hope I like it!! Post some pictures of your Para 3 with or without modifications! I'll post mine when it comes in the mail! :)
Post your Para 3!
Re: Post your Para 3!
Welcome to the Spyderco Forum Josh! I hope you like your Para 3. For whatever reason I don't carry mine very much. I like it just fine but I guess I have other knives that I like to carry more. I think I'll pocket mine today just to show it some love. :)
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Re: Post your Para 3!
oh no.....something else i need. got to stop looking at the photos. i do like the look of the pm3, the scaled down dimensions work for me. on the list to investigate further. in other words, after the caly 3 comes in we'll go after this one. lol

Re: Post your Para 3!
Very nice guys! I haven't seen any pictures with people replacing the screws, spacers, and lanyard tube yet, I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks and personalizing it to be my own. I think the knife comes in on Tuesday, hopefully I'll have the other parts by Friday so I can post pictures!
Re: Post your Para 3!
Welcome to the forums Josh! Hope you enjoy your para 3 when you get it!
Haven't done any customizing, though id love to get a deep carry clip, as I feel like it sticks out of pocket a little bit too much as is.
Figured id add a picture to the mix!

Re: Post your Para 3!
Full size lynch clip in pocket would be cool for comparison!
Re: Post your Para 3!
Casey is developing a deep carry clip specifically for the para 3 that factors in the lanyard tube placement
Re: Post your Para 3!
I saw a pic of that on one of the Spyderco FB pages or Casey's IG feed. It's nice that he's doing that but I'm not sure it's really necessary. I guess it might be helpful for those using really thick lanyards. Otherwise, there's plenty of clearance for most lanyards without having to cut part of the clip away. I don't use a lanyard so I would much prefer the looks and strength of the unmodified Lynch clips.Spydergirl88 wrote:Casey is developing a deep carry clip specifically for the para 3 that factors in the lanyard tube placement

Re: Post your Para 3!
I tried to be a PM2 guy, and I could never get into the Comp Lock.
But this thread makes me dream of a Manix 3 along the same lines--shortened Manix 2 for overly-legislative places.

Re: Post your Para 3!
Couple questions for you guys who have this knife.
The new Manix back lock was mentioned to have a new fine peel ply G10 texture, does this knife have that? If so how do you like it?
Also, the scales look to have a round beveling on the corners instead of the flat 45 degree bevel we see on most G10, or am I just seeing things? Hard to tell in pics but the handle just looks "softer" all around.

Re: Post your Para 3!
The texture is similar to my other Golden Spydies. Mine's still relatively new so it feels a little more course but it looks the same as the others.Evil D wrote:Couple questions for you guys who have this knife.

I compared my Para 3 to my PM2s and it does have a little more bevel on the corners. It feels pretty good in hand overall.
