DLC M4 Para 3 with Natural G-10

Well this should be dropping soon. I want... but I think I'm gonna pass on this fine blade. It's too similar to the Native I just bought and I need to slow my roll a little (got 3 knives on deck that I'll be pulling the trigger on soon). Too bad my lottery ticket didn't pan out, thought for sure I was going to win this time :D Temping as heck though... I must stay strong.... I must stay strong.

Anyways, heads up spyderville.... soon.

I really like this combo, but I'm trying hard to not start a collection. I sold my Cru-wear when I got the s90v sprint, and I am still quite interested in the Rex45/burnt orange. I am sure that I do not need three Para 3s, but that's just my brain talking.

I hear ya. I certainly don't NEED three Para 3's...I have the BBS blue/M390 and soon enough the Rex45 and this one. Will probably end up selling my first Spyderco, the Sage 5. Just isn't getting much pocket time compared to the others in my collection these days. I'm glad I stopped listening to all the Youtube reviews that hated on the Para 3 format. It's turning into one of my favorites.

I think this one will be my third attempt at the para 3. I might have to swap the scales out though.

I’m still not sure about the scales on my satin version. But it’s cheaper to do nothing...

That's sort of the boat I'm in. I already have the Cruwear and Maxamet, and I'm going to get the Rex45 and the BBS M390 in the near future. And as much as I love m4 and like the look of the DLC and Natural g-10 Para 3... I already have a PM2 and a Native in M4 and Jade, and I found myself asking "do I really need 5 Para 3's?" or another Jade m4 knife?... Especially with so many new models past and present I haven't laid hands on yet.

I must stay strong.... I must stay strong...

I kinda like basic black. And Allen Putman's green micarta. I don’t particularly like the translucent nature, and they’re likely to get really grubby in use. This knife is definitely in edc rotation.

Probably going to pass on the Para 3. But if they go back and do a Millie and Native in DLC im all in!

Is there such a thing as Natural FRN? A Native LW in DLC M4 and Natural or White FRN would be an instant buy for me...probably would get a few of those.

Hmmm... on an overnight flight from O’ahu Thursday afternoon through Friday late morning. I hope these are still in stock when I land! The satin blades seemed to hold on for a bit, maybe these will survive the first day.

It depends on the lighting. I wouldn't say milky white though, but always slightly translucent. In direct sunlight it's quite vibrant, almost what you'd expect from something being glow in the dark. Some people don't care for it. I have the Manix 2 version of this knife and will certainly be purchasing this one as well. I also like the ability to dye the scales to any color you'd like if you choose to do so.

Yes, this is apparently called "jade green". If I can get an extra one I'd dye the scales dark red. :)
Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:
