March 18th ship date.

Great price of $149.95 for Para3 CTS-204P & G-10 considering the regular production Para3 CPM-S45VN & G-10 is $161.70!

Mine came in today! Suprised they shipped before the 18th. Fit and finish is excellent, screaming sharp and even edge. Great job on this one Spyderco!

I'm pretty sure I could limit my entire knife collection to KW exclusives and just be perfectly happy. I really appreciate their taste.

I went back and forth on getting one of these since I already had the red C10/M390 Para3 but in the end completing the trio won out.

Good stuff 👍

Looks great, still on the fence about keeping this vs. my smooth cruwear p3, esp. bc I need a new car. We'll see.

Was surprised to notice the color is notably different from the wolfspyder's, which I thought would be identical. Easier to see the distinction in person, but the P3's lighter. Not due to use either, the interior of the WS is the same shade. Also has a different G10 pattern than the wolfie; peel-ply feels rougher, almost... dryer? Like high grit sandpaper. Which is how my jeans perceive it, so, checks out.

Still, this is a top, hmm, 3% edition of this or any SC knife imo. Would be hard to get a better combo. Mine also arrived literally hair whittling sharp.

I 100% get where you're coming from - you can see from the PM2/Para3 clips in my pic I'm a lefty as well :cheap-sunglasses

It's a good enough design and at least has a LH clip option so I'm ok with it. Just have to be extra slow/careful when working the lock.

I forgot to mention mine came with all three pocket clip screws loose as a goose. The clip moved side to side and I thought I might have a problem. Pulled out the Wera T6 and they all tightened up nicely. Too bad Golden let this come out of the factory this way.
For someone who has all the tools, this isn't a problem. For a knife newb, this could be a deal breaker not knowing the correct torx size or having to go out and buy or order a mini torx set to do a job the factory should have done.
Someone must have slipped out on their 4:20 break and forgot what they were doing when they returned.
