Para 3 variants

#1

Post by attila »

So I was perusing Benotboxshop's selection today only to find that they have listed some Para 3 variants and prices. I haven't seen discussion on these yet.

I am excited for one of these, and I've read a few guys hoping for a blurple version, so here's what I found:

C223GPS Partially Serrated Edge Black G-10 Para 3 (Scheduled for 2017)
$199.95
$119.97

C223GS Serrated Edge Black G-10 Para 3 (Scheduled for 2017)
$199.95
$119.97

C223GPBK Plain Edge Black Blade Black G-10 Para 3 (Scheduled for 2017)
$219.95
$131.97

C223GPDBL Plain Edge CPM-S110V Dark Blue G-10 Para 3 (ETA: To Be Determined)
TBD

C223GPCMO Plain Edge Digital Camouflage G-10 Para 3 (Scheduled for 2017)
$199.95
$119.97

C223GPCMOBK Plain Edge Black Blade Digital Camouflage G-10 Para 3 (Scheduled for 2017)
$219.95
$131.97

I'm just wondering what sprint runs are coming this year...

Just noticed those recently on Knifecenter as well! The combo edge was what caught my eye, but the S110 is what held my attention!!!

Also, excited for the black/black Para 3.

Just out of curiosity, why sprint vs exclusive?

It's obvious why.When a sprint run is released, one can buy from different dealers and the chances to grab a copy increases specially in my case since I live in Europe.

Sorry that it wasn't obvious that you are in Europe, I meant no offense. Your reasoning is sound, and I agree.

Eric did mention in one of the SHOT show video's that a couple of companies have already requested Para 3 Exclusives

On that list, the one I am really interested in is the S110v variant. I'm anxiously waiting for the PM3 to be offered in a non s30v steel (not that there is anything wrong with that steel, I just have so many blades in s30v already)

Yes! Let's get the P3 caught up! I may be interested in a S110V cuz I dig that color, but I too would love a Cruwear to match my Millie! We shall see.

it's interesting that the ETA on the S110V P3 is TBD and Knifecenter doesn't even list it. Hope we aren't waiting too long. I'd rather see some sprints or exclusives though

Love my Para 3, will take the black on black in SE & PE and would love Cruwear and M4..
(probably also interested in S110V and Maxamet)
For now after almost a year of waiting very happy to just be able to carry one. :D

How about a Para 3 with a wharncliffe blade? ;)

I like this idea! I'd really like blue denim micarta in place of G10 with Cruwear or M390, but doubt the micarta part would ever become reality.

Well I think even blue would be unlikely. Cruwear and grey has become a pretty established pairing. I wouldn't mind the darker grey a la PM2. Looks snazzy!

Yeah, unless the A-holes who buy a bunch of them each vacuum the market before they even reach Europe..

I might start to collect Para 3 sprint runs, so I am looking forward to the Dark Blue variant. :)
