Everyone's latest acquisitions!

Wanted to upgrade my work knife, took a look at all of the knives I've purchased over that last year and picked which one I liked the most and chose a cheaper version to carry at work.

Pretty boring to most here I'm sure, but still was super excited to flip it open for the first time!

Para 3 has everything I like, compression lock, easy/multiple deployment, great ergos, not too big/small blade, jimping is on point, able to choke up and deep clip carry available. If Spyderco ever makes a tanto PM3, it would be the perfect knife IMO.

I am amazed how much lighter this version is, liking it alot more than I thought I would.
No reason to apologize sir….you picked up a great knife. And we’re all here to support each other. Congrats!
 
Apparently I’m just an absolute sucker for “dressy” knives. Took one look at this Zieba MS3 “Manhattan” and didn’t have to give it a second thought (born in NY, so I’m also a sucker for the “Made in Brooklyn” connection).

This is the first time I’ve seen polished Damasteel. It’s very different…and to my eye, very elegant (although absurdly difficult to capture in pics).

Simple yet extremely refined. I’m really diggin’ this one.

Another forum purchase that arrived on Wed. Looks brand new. I followed my first M390 purchase with my first 20CV purchase.
Pardon the stock photo but my lowly 5mp phone camera is a POS.

SMKW exclusive black dlc Kershaw Bareknuckle 20CV. I'm not a fan of black blades and metal handles ... but the price was right . ;) We shall see how it carries.

Just received this G10 version of the Spyderco Puukko. Bought it on EB for less than what Spyderco was clearing it out for before it was discontinued.

It joins the Nilakka -- the puukko inspired Ethnic Series folder -- in my collection. Both were designed by Pekka Tuominen for Spyderco.

Damasteel is some gorgeous stuff!! Love mine!!! Very nice acquisition!
 
I'll see Murph and raise him one...:), Sandrin Paring knife that I've been using for mail and boxes. Decently sharp out of the box and it seems similar to what I heard about ceramic blades, doesn't seem sharp but doesn't dull quickly.
