Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
Here he is with his big bro! Love to have the option between the two. Some days the Millie just feels like too much, the lil fella is here to fill that role when I don't need the big guy.

Love that green! I’m going to try to recreate it with the light gray scales on my cruwear millie.
Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
Very nice set! Not that I would want to, but I think I could live the rest of my days with just those two. Very cool
Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
They are very nice exclusives! Great all around steel and scale color. Hate that I passed on the PM2, that's really more my preference than a Para 3, but I'm not complaining! Still a great knife.

Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
Rick,
Having just read your recent reviews on your REX 45 and 4V knives, I'm curious where and when does 204P fall into your carry / use rotation?
Is it simply when you require a stain resistant knife because of environmental factors, or something else?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
I think I'll be carrying the Military or Para 3 next week actually. I had the Military on me a couple weeks ago, but I was working our stockroom most of the week so I didn't get the usual usage and felt I couldn't give it a fair review.
In the summer months I'm not yet sure how I'm going to carry. I've definitely found myself gravitating towards tool steels the past year or so, but I have no problem with the many nice stainless steels available either!

Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
I remember someone posting a comment about missing the exclusive note on one of the recent exclusives. I just received my second siren from knifeworks and it had their para3 exclusive note. If someone didn’t receive theirs I can mail it.

Looks like Knifeworks has a fresh batch shipping out next Friday, 3/18/22. "Add to Cart" is working now!

I have way too many Para 3s already, but this is definitely an appealing variation!

Great opportunity for people that missed out a couple years ago! I did just sell mine last week, but after having around 5-7 Para 3's over the years, this one is one of the best!DSH007 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 1:34 pmLooks like Knifeworks has a fresh batch shipping out next Friday, 3/18/22.

Extremely tempting, don’t have steel or a Para 3 . MG2

Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
Dang that is tempting....... I've been wanting another Para3, I only have 1 and I seem to like its size more than the Para2. I don't want a LW or a generic standard one, so maybe if it still there tomorrow.
Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
Tempting, but I’m in more of a liquidate mood right now. Daddy needs a new canoe!
Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
I sure would love an occasion to test that steel on a known platform.
But my 4 new Spydies do tell me they I should just enjoy them while fuel is cheaper than them!

In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
Well, this color is irresistable to me, and I have nothing with this steel. I already have and love the KC smooth g10 cruwear knife, and don't really feel the need for another para 3* per se, but I don't know what to do here. I feel like I'm going to want to buy every single knife in this color they release. If they put a GB2 out in this I'd be finished.

I mentioned this in the “Delivered and Upcoming” thread but for anyone who is interested, I called Knifeworks today and was told this is a run of 800 pieces. They had already sold 300 of them today, when I called around 4:00 their time.

You are just teasing me with this information because the scales are GREEN ! MG2

I was unable to resist the temptation on this one. Got an order in the queue.

Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
I think I have enough Para3s for now, but man that is a great version. Wish they’d run a lightweight in this color/steel combo.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Re: Knifeworks Exclusive Para 3, CTS-204P/Forrest Green G10
I wish they'd run a Native 5 with this combo.
Edited to add: I was wondering if the Forest Green on this exclusive is the same color as the one used in the S45VN PM2/Para 3 sprint with diamond arc scales.
