Is it just an all black Para3 in Cruwear?

Looks like it to me.

I actually like the all black knives. My first PM2 was all black. I don't need another knife I don't carry even if it's Cruwear (I have plenty). So I won't be buying this one

If its micarta I'm in.

I missed their previous Native 5 Cruwear exclusive, as I was unsure about the smooth G10 scales. However, after getting acquainted with smooth G10 in other models, and since I don't have any folders in Cruwear, I might try getting this one.

Hopefully it costs less than the Benchmade Mini-Adamas in Cruwear.

I have really enjoyed the smooth G-10. I have both the Manix and Native exclusives, and I'm a fan. I'm not a PM2 guy, but I hope that everyone who wants one is able to grab one. :)

Based on the other KC Para3 CruWear I agree with “Para3 CPM-CRUWEAR Black DLC Blade Smooth Black G-10 C223GPCWBK KnifeCenter (USA)”.

Anyone know any new information on this. I don’t have social media.

Post above beat me to it

Looks like it will have coated liners too.

Since exclusives from other dealers are dropping on the same week, hopefully I'll have a chance to get this one.

They're getting a lot of flak on other social medias for not announcing a time. They should have just released them, unannounced, like they did with some of their pakkawood exclusives.

What exactly does "smooth G10" denote in this usage? The pic looks like normal textured G10 I've gotten on other Spydies, are looks deceiving or is this the standard type of G-10 that comes on Paras, etc?

Thanks, that makes the difference crystal clear!

When will show on their site or does anyone have a link?

Glad to help! The smooth is much friendlier on jean pockets, but mine is a fingerprint magnet. Never had an issue with it being too slick when sweating or using it in the rain.

I think I'm fine with my Cru-ple DLT Para 3. More for others who did not get that drop last year.

Remember when we begged for more Cruwear, back when it was on sprints only? Ask and you shall receive. :)

I ended up with an abundance of satin Cruwear P3s, so I’m out on this one. Maybe I’ll trade for one someday?
