REC Spirit Avocado Para 3 LW
REC appears to be releasing a LW Avocado soon. Posted this sticker today. I am guessing either Manix or Para 3 but could be something else too.

Re: REC Spirit Avocado LW
A Manix would be cool, especially a translucent “avacado” color
.
Re: REC Spirit Avocado LW
Let’s go!! I’m partial to a para 3 but either would be great.

Re: REC Spirit Avocado LW
Who knows maybe they will go with something different like a Sage 5 or Native.

Re: REC Spirit Avocado LW
Based on the hype surrounding the original REC Para 3 exclusive, my guess is their first lightweight exclusive will be the Para 3 LW.

Re: REC Spirit Avocado LW
On August 24, 2022, a higher up indicated that an Avocado Para3 Lightweight was in the works. So that's my guess.

I am still holding out hopes for a Manix Scorpion at some point, 10V is a great steel.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2024 11:01 amRats , oh well great news for others and happy for them .

Not gonna lie, every REC drop always feels like an exercise in managing hypertension.

Re: REC Spirit Avocado LW
The Scorpion combo is probably the top sprint for me, 10v is an awesome steel.WilliamMunny wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2024 11:49 amI am still holding out hopes for a Manix Scorpion at some point, 10V is a great steel.
Always glad to see more sprints and exclusives but personally not a m390/20cv/204p fanatic. A Manix LW may get me to bite, but if it's a different model I'll let the Avocado enthusiasts have at it.
Re: REC Spirit Avocado LW
I bet is pm3.
Re: REC Spirit Avocado LW
Just when I was convinced my next purchase would be a PD1 StretchXL… 
Edit: my money is on a Para3 LW given 3 avocados, one on a scale, and one in paratrooper gear. Wonder how close the FRN will match the previous G10 iterations...

Another hint from REC on instagram. I am really curious to see how the FRN color turns out.

Re: REC Spirit Avocado LW
Pretty sure it's a Para 3 LW judging by the comments on their instagram page. Would be pleasantly surprised if it's a Manix 2 LW

Re: REC Spirit Avocado LW
Para 3 LW for $170, will be interesting to see how quick they sell out.

Re: REC Spirit Avocado LW
It’s live now, no idea how long they will last. The second run of PM2’s lasted a day or two if I remember. But with all the hype of the original Para 3 this might go faster. Looks to have all black hardware and liners, good looking knife.
