I just picked up a para3 in cruwear and havent had a chance to really use it yet. It does seem like a great all around do it all steel. Anyone have any imput on this?M390 for folders and CPM CruWear for fixed blades.
Both steels are great all rounders. While they're both not the absolute best at anything, they're good at everything. That's the type of characteristics I'd be after if I were to choose a single steel for both platforms.
