Spyderco Forums

So theoretically I'm looking for the toughest Para3. I have 4 other Para3's in S110v, s45Vn, Maxamet and Magnacut and just love the platform so I'm looking for my next one. As I understand it Cruwear is the "Toughest" steel available in the Para3 and a higher degree sharpening angle will give me a "Tougher" edge. So theoretically if I take a Crucarta Para3 and use my Sharpmaker (My only system) on the 20 degree angle setting I should have the "Toughest" Para3 I'm capable of making. Thoughts? Plans for a ZTuff or 3V Para3 anytime soon? Thanks all.

Cruwear is as tough as you'll need a 3" pocket knife to be

In reality, my Maxamet is probably tougher than I actually need and it's supposed to be weak.

I run my PARA3 CruCarta at 15dps from a Sharpmaker and have had no issues. It's my favorite steel.

My Para 3 crucarta has amazing fit and finish and is such a joy to use. It's my fall/winter carry.
