New Spyderco owner

[Nik74]

Hi everyone. I've been lurking on the forum while looking to get my very first Spyderco knife for some time. Well, a few hours ago, I received my PM3 by mail. I got (I think) a very good deal from Blades Canada on a maxamet PM3. I'm very pleased with my puchase. The blade is scary sharp ans centered. Love the look of the blade and the color of the G10 scales. I don't mind that it's not really stainless because I care for my knives a lot. Got a few Civivis and my first premium knife was a Kizer Militaw in S45VN, Ti ans fat carbon handle then got the PM3. Probably won't my last Spyderco.

Enjoy, I have one and love it. Only had a small chip so far that was very easy to sharpen out. I agree the scales are very good looking, darker than pictured.

Nice! Welcome to the Spyderco family!

I like the knife!

Congrats
I have been on a buying spree the last month after not buying many knives for the last couple of years. All spyderco. My first one was a Delica in the mid 90s and I am still a big fan. I have one para 3 in M390 and find it to be a great design.

He's a construction worker with no knowledge of good knives. After he opened it up and said yes it is nice, I said, do not pry with it, it is Maxamet steel, very good steel, and the knife is worth around $250US!

He was a bit shocked that I would give it to him for FREE. I am poor. I live in a home purchased by my parents, with my mother, and I collect knives.... I used to work in construction and only once did anyone give me something. I never forgot it!

My mother broke her hip around 2 weeks ago and will be in rehab for another 5 weeks. I told her, make it back home and we will go to church every week to celibrate!

What good is a knife collection if you cannot give a knife to a poor man?

When I started to study escrima and arnis, Filipino bladed arts, top instructors always gave me folders!

This is the way.

Thank you so much! This is a great act of kindness on your part and my hope is that you get a great blessing for doing that. Naperville sir, my friend, I wish there were more people like you.

I try to be kind. I work on it every day.

My mother broke her hip, and I am her full-time caretaker. I will be visiting her in rehab evey day for a while. I try to be better every day. I try to understand everything that she goes though every day.

Our family, children, parents and grandparents and people we meet are the people that we learn what to do and not to do. We only get one shot to be kind to everyone we meet.

Congrats on your first Spyderco! Blades Canada is great to deal with. They're my go-to retailer.

Welcome to the forum. That's awesome that you bought that knife. The PM3 is a really nice little knife. It is very much like a custom knife.
