Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
OMG finally the Para 3 light DLC ships, oh whop.
2019 was a struggle for me as Spyderco/Distributors decided enough was enough for the Para 3. To be honest this broke my knife spirit and I'm not sure that I'll ever buy another knife. In fact I have no idea how I can liquidate the hundreds I already have. Send address will ship!

Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:

Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
Can someone tell me what I’m supposed to understand from the OP?
I seriously read it 3 times and I still can’t make sense of it, even when I keep the title in mind. Thanks!

Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
Crux loves the Para 3 and (AFAIK) has all the variations. I guess he's just bummed that there weren't many exclusives or sprints this year.AwayFromMySpydieHole wrote: ↑Sat Dec 14, 2019 11:50 pmCan someone tell me what I’m supposed to understand from the OP?

I like the Para 3 too but not enough that I feel like I need to have all of them. I have 5 P3s and 2 P3 LW. That's way more than I need considering I like to carry different knives all the time.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
The day they make a regular P3 with a wire clip will be the happiest day of my life.
Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
I have to admit I am a huge fan of the para 3 , its the one I gravitate to a great deal , love para military 2 ,military and stretch 2 . There is not many patterns I don’t like and if I won the lottery We’ll my collection would be on a much larger scale but for now I try to convince myself I don’t need this and that knife . Funny how money can change options so I am told
Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
I wish that all of the Para 3 exclusive/sprint madness really had faded away. Then maybe Golden can free up some production capacity to make real knives again instead of those little pen knife sized knives.
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.

Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
That's my personal opinion as well, but seeing as they sell like ice cream on a hot beach regardless of flavour tells me that either i am one a few sane persons in the Spyderco community, or (very unlikely) i am the one who don't get it..

Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
I jumped on the para 3 sprint bandwagon in 2017 and 2018. Now I am still stuck with 5 of them. Already sold a bunch. Since I got my Police 4 LW the para 3 is seeing no pockettime at all. it’s way to small for my taste now. I have more use for larger knives. Interesting how that can shift in a short period of time. Even the PM2 feels small nowadays...

Which sprints do you have? I love the para 3 and may be interested in some of them.

You don't actually think Crux is serious do you?

Seeing as how I didn't quote Crux, not really sure it matters. I quoted Danvp.

Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
Carrying the m390 para 3 lw today. I've gotta admit, I thought the release of that one meant the floodgates were opening on a big wave of lw exclusives. But since then, nothing, not even rumors. Wondering when we'll see more.

Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
Same. I don't have a lw version yet, don't know that I will get any of those as I prefer g10. All I've heard about are upcoming g10 versions. I honestly thought the para 3 train would have switched tracks, but I haven't heard of any other upcoming lw releases.
Which is fine by me. Still haven't picked up the k390 yet. Probably wait until January. Might get the black/black para 3 lw though.
Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
Yeah, the wiener version with black dlc is nice, but if that's the best there is then 2019 sucked. There are a lot of steels and options to choose from but it seems that the knife vendors just don't care. This was a historic wave and suddenly the vendors said frick it, who cares.
Seriously, this either the worst injustice toward mankind or a wake up call to an aging old fart.

Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
... :spyder: production capacity is limited.
My guess is we will see more than a few new Para 3 LW sprints and exclusives next year. :)
Re: Para 3 fades into the sunset.....
Crux...with so many amazing models available, why don't you venture outside of the Para 3 box?? There's plenty of other models that are amazing in that same size range!
