I like it and was tempted until I saw the price. To much for a Para 3 LW imo.

I agree 100%. I thought I was the only one that thought that for a bit. It's more than most G10 models.

It's just not enough of a difference in the long run. I'll skip a meal out which will more than cover it.

It has nothing to with, for me anyway, not being able to afford the extra I just think it's a pretty high price for a LW model that has a lot less into it than a standard model. That's like asking corvette price for a camaro. It's nothing to do with not being able to afford it.

I never said it was about affordability. I was simply saying I can justify the extra because it's not a huge difference and the combo is worth it to me. It's not worth it to you and that's ok. I don't actually have to skip a meal out

Ha ha ha and with what everything costs now days if you skipped a meal you could just throw a nice Delica on your order too.

They're all pricey. Wait until the annual price increase in a few weeks. The price for this exclusive will seem more reasonable

I know right!

Price adjustment was made. Was $164.50 Now it’s 157.50.

Tempting , I have been Para 3 curious, if I go down in flames with SNK Manix2 it may be a consideration . Dan

That does look good! I wasn't thrilled by brown handles but in the past couple years I've started to like earth tones. I have no issue with brown any more. I have a Rex 45 Native with the white/DLC combo. I may have to dye mine. Not sure it'll be brown but we'll see

Speaking of brown. Just got my Knife Joker P3LW. Anyone know why my clip is so discolored? May be a little hard to tell but it definitely has a brownish tint. Not real pleased with it. Otherwise a fine example of a P3LW.

I don’t have a pic but my brown para 3 has a gloss black clip from GP. The Joker has what looks like a blacksmith look.

I’ve noticed a bunch of my wire clips are different hues of black.

Interesting, I'll have to take a look at my other black clips. Whatever the case I'm not a fan of this one. Oh well it's still a great knife. Just don't want to buy an aftermarket clip. Perhaps I'll start to appreciate that it's a bit different. Otherwise I'll just suck it up and buy one. Thanks for chiming in.
