Just saw this on Instagram.
Very interested, although didn’t expect it to be more than the pm2 version.

Anyone onboard?

If it were priced reasonably, I’d pick one up. It isn’t, so I won’t.

Yeah as much as I’d like a patina on this one.

I don’t see why it’s priced higher than every pm3 sprint in history, including maxamet.
And also most pm2 and military sprints.

This begs the question, what is it with 52100? Does it cost a lot more to produce or machine or get ahold of?

Not totally turned off by the price but I am intrigued as to why it’s this high.
 
I have the 52100 PM2 and love it. It’s the knife I carry most often. A Para 3 version would be cool but not for $10 *more* than the PM2 that’s still available. Might as well just buy another 52100 PM2 and put the extra $10 towards a deep carry clip...? I really don’t get the pricing on this. Maybe it’s a tax on people who live in areas with 3” knife laws?

Yes I am totally turned off by the price.:thumbsdown:
 
That's about what I paid for the S90V sprint Para3.
Reckon I'll leave this one, already got a preorder in on a Rex PM2 for $40 less.
 
Maybe the cost is in the chamfering/contouring of the carbon fiber? I'm not too familiar with working with CF but I know some processes can be costly.
 
Yeah I would like to have one but they're kinda pricey. Wonder if they don't expect it to sell well since it's the only Para 3 available for pre-order?
 
It’s high... but I want it. I’ve got the PM2 also, JT I think I prefer the para3 for edc. Love the one I have in M4, just need to do something about the scales. Do not love the “jade”.
 
I have the Millie in 52100 and love it. I will be in for this para3 regardless of price.
 
It’s in stock at GPK. I figured the price was a typo on BHQ but apparently not. CF and 52100 is an awesome combo but I’d just get another PM2 and save $10 at this point in time.
