NOTE: I didn't take quite as many pics this time, especially comparisons, because only one of these is a new design. And I won't talk much about design and ergos and such either, for the same reason. Also, this is my first post after getting a macro lens. Hopefully some of the shots give you more detail than before.
Native 5 Fluted Carbon Fiber S90V:
It's gorgeous and I wish I could afford it. Light, feels great. The CF isn't perfect but I would have no complaints.

Dog Tag Folder Gen4:
Sorry for a couple of pics of this that didn't turn out great. This is a neat little knife. I like the 2nd scale so it has a proper grind on it, and I like the update maker's mark.

Para 3 S110V G-10:

Para 3 Black / Camo G-10:
I am, as always, impressed by the black finish on the blade, even if this is nowhere near my preferences aesthetically.

Military Left Hand:
As with the Para Military 2 LH, I am still amused and impressed that they reversed the text. It's not practically necessary, but it feels like a detail that matters.

Please correct me if I'm seeing wrong in the pictures of the Para 3's. Is the rounded edges on the scales gone ? The pictures in the mid year product guide shows them rounded like the original Para 3.

I think I see what you mean; the edges might be less rounded than the original Para 3. I think Sal & Co. would need to weigh in on that to be sure it's an actual change or if it's just a trick of the light or variance in manufacturing.johnson wrote:Please correct me if I'm seeing wrong in the pictures of the Para 3's.
