It seems that the new Para 3 regular production variants will not only feature S45VN, but a stonewashed finish too. Will the PM2 version also feature this finish?

I have refinished many satin blades without much hassle. It is definitely easier than refinishing a stonewashed blade.

Hahah, never thought of them that way...now I can't get it out of my head! I have to say I like stonewashed on some of my blades just to break things up a bit. I do like that it easily hides scratches as well.Notsurewhy wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 7:31 am+2archangel wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 7:09 ambearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 6:17 amI do not like stonewashed blades.

Stonewash always reminds me of the galvanized steel trash cans of my youth.
Not mine. First run Para 3 (S30V) and first run Para 3 LW (BD1N) do not have this finish
Mine is June 2018 date code, and has a stonewashed finish. It's very close to the finish on my 2018 Maxamet Native, maybe a bit finer. I don't know about the very first run, but the stonewashed base model Para 3 G10 is not a new thing.
