I'd get one if it was Cruwear or a Blurple S110v! I'm going to hold off on this one for a sprint :)

I voted K390, but I think my first choice would be CTS-204p, as that has turned out to be my favorite PM2 sprint.

M4 was my first choice and XHP would be a close second.

M4 for a sprint.
S110V for regular production. In blurple please, like the others.

Cruwear should just become a regular production option..

Cru-wear if it was on the list, voted for XHP instead.

I would be very happy with CPM S35VN and tan or brown G10. I voted for CPM S90V.

I'm with this guy. I would love one in m390 with CF scales. My original one should be delivered here within the next day or so and I can hardly wait.

M390 or S90V please. Start with stainless.

K390 would be sweet. M4 would be amazing as well

I voted 52100, just really like this steel and would love to see it offered in some other pieces.

This!
I've owned knives in all of the above steels and Cruwear is hands down my favorite. I wish Spyderco would make it their new standard in place of S30V for all models.

I think we see the S110V production version before any sprints, and that's a good one. I'd be fine with a lot of different sprint steels. What I'd really love is for Spyderco to be able to afford a complementary production line for the Para 3 with CTS-XHP for the base steel, then CTS-204P for the upgrade (like S30V and S110V). Or, I'd love to see the Para 3 (and the rest of them, TBH) use S35VN on the base model instead of S30V. So I guess I'd be more interested in seeing Spyderco play around with different production steels instead of just sprints.
And I say 204P there over 20CV simply because I'd rather see XHP than S30V, and then the upgrade steel would be from Carpenter as well.

And for a sprint, I'd want to see a larger run of them in one of that family of M390, 204P, or 20CV.

My tastes are not sophisticated enough to quibble over steel variations, but I am one of those that is eager to purchase a Para 3 with Black handle, black Blade, and black screws.

1. cruwear
2. m4
3. s90v

any / all of these!

Now that I think about it, it would be nice for its first sprint to be something we've never seen before. New color, new steel.

Assuming we'll get the CPM-S110V Blue G-10 production model down the road, I think the Sprint candidates for steel choice are the same ones as for ParaMilitary2:

• CPM-D2
• CPM-S90V
• CPM-S35VN
• CPM-M4
• M390/CTS-204P/CPM-20CV
• CTS-XHP
• Elmax
• CRU-WEAR
• 52100

Missed the Elmax PM2. Would happily have an Elmax Para3, but, gads, if the sequence is the same as the PM2, the wait will be l-o-n-g.

1. 10V darkgreen G10
2. Maxamet with lightgray G10
3. XHP with orange G10

Cruwear for me too, I went with the M390.
