I'm in for one, and now I can give my wife back her teal dragonfly. I don't give much thought to colors being wimpy or sissy, but I also think ranger panties are perfectly acceptable public attire. I like what I like, no one has to understand it.
Standard workout attire over 60 degrees. My neighbors get an eye full. “Sky’s out, thighs out”.
Pro tip: Wearing ranger panties and carrying around the biggest cucumber you can find in the produce section renders your knife color invisible. If you're lucky, it also gets you out of going to the grocery store. I'm unlucky, my wife finds it hilarious.
I had to google ranger panties...worth it!

I've been waiting to let everyone know about this one for a while!
Shipping this week to select dealers in limited quantities (only around 1500 in this batch)
Para3 Lightweight Teal FRN scales with a satin finished S90V blade.
Happy Monday!

May I just add a huge *KUDOS* to you for announcing this drop with a real life pic of the knife vs the stock photo, it takes away the guesswork of what will the real colour look like, is it FRN/FCRP blah blah.... Thanks, please stick with it!!!
While I'm kinda meh on the color...I'm happy for another Para 3 LW! Just got my KJ P3 LW 20CV and at first I was kinda bummed at the pastel color choice, but carrying it for a almost a week now made me appreciate the looks more...it's more like a neutral white-grayish blue the more I carry it.
I hope I can score one of these to add to my P3 LW collection! Completed all sprints and exclusives so far. Can't wait for the other dealers to show what LWs they have in store for us!
First 20CV and now S90V. Is this going to be the year of the para3 LW?
Boy, I hope (and at the same time, fear) so! I love the knife and despite its great flaw (crazy off centering) I can't help but want to collect them all! The light weight, countoured ergonomics and perfect clip placement make it a dream to EDC every day. But my wallet can only take so much beating. :D
I went ahead and ordered, I figured it would make a good stainless friend for my Rex45 P3LW. The color doesn't really bother me I don't think, but if it does, it can always be my first Rit Dye project.
Well, it may not be "manly man" enough for some of us, but I love everything about this knife.
It's a great EDC blade length, long enough to get most stuff done without being "too big" for normal folks. S90V is a really nice high-performance steel which I would love to try. And best of all, the scales are a bright, friendly color.
I'm not sure if there'll be enough in the knife budget for this one, but if there is I'll pick one up. Heck, maybe I'll convince my girlfriend to carry a bigger knife with this.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.
It's not that I don't think the teal color is macho enough or whatever, it's just that teal color with silvery steel SCREAMS gaudy turquoise Grandma jewelry to me.
That said, I'm loving the fact the 2021 seems to be the year of 20CV and S90V sprints. If the right platform comes out, even in teal, with S90V, I'm confident I can pick one up while suppressing the urge to pinch my own cheek.
Happy to see another release in a whimpy color, saves me some cash! S90V a nice choice though.
Yea definitely a knife for the jacked and tan. I think I’ll get one lol.
Showed it to my wife to see if she'd be interested in that color, which she said no. Asked her what if I bought it for myself and she said my man card would need to be revoked!
15 's in 10 different steels
1 - Bradford Guardian 3 / Vanadis 4E Wharnie
1 - Monterey Bay Knives Slayback Flipper / ZDP 189
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays
1 - CRK Large Inkosi Insingo/ Black Micarta Inlays
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31 Insingo/Magnacut
I ordered one since I never got around to getting a regular Para3 in S90V and I really like that steel. Color is fine with me and should be a good summer carry. I never wear bright colored clothing but I do like to have some color on my knives for some odd reason.

Mine got revoked years ago. Pros, I can buy whatever girlie colors I like and can openly get excited when I see horses. Cons, she claimed my AR and precision rifle as her own, and said they are hers until I can make it through a pixar movie without getting teary-eyed.
I built new rifles and let her keep them. Win...win? :D
