Para 3 in December CONFIRMED!

It looks like the ergonomics will be similar to using the PM2 with the choil.

I hope so. That's exactly what I've wanted. Take that choil grip and cut off the extra handle and then shrink the blade to fit the handle left. Yes please, sign me up.

I don't like the Miltarys because of the short blade to handle ratio.

Also I never use or need a lanyard hole. I don't know why they just don't remove that and make a balanced knife. Look at Shiros design.. they have a lot of cutting surface to gip ratio.

Also I won't own a knife with a finger choil. So my hope is that makers get with a good design (like the Shiros) and get as much blade out of the handle package. After all, isn't that why we carry folders instead of fixed blades?

Thanks man! Some people here have no concept of a knife with blade to handle ratio because they never have owned one.

It makes no sense to have a long grip and short blade. To me that defeats the pupose of a "pocket" knife. One should want the most cutting length into a small package.

Plenty of people have different needs for different knives. This one clearly isn't for you, why not just move along?
 
I can't find anything that I don't like about the PM2. But having a smaller design would be perfect for the times when you just want to drop it into a pocket without the loss of much pocket real estate.
I have enough s30v steel for a couple of life times, so I'll wait until the PM3 is offered in other blade steel options.

I'm in the same boat. Might pick up one for the wife, if she will carry it.

Actually, it makes a lot of sense. Just not to you. I suppose everything on Earth could be tailored to your taste, but that would be pretty boring for the other seven billion people here.
 
The PM2 only needs a low ride pocket clip to attain perfection for me. I'll be interested to see the PM3 though.
 
Spyderco does a really good S30V, but I would have preferred to see the first Para3 come out in something a step up. Maxamet, S110V or XHP would have been a little more interesting place to start, just like the police 4 base is going to be K390...

Im not so sure it would be that much of a hit if it debuted in any other steel than S30V. Maybe S110....maybe.

But the PM3 in S110V in Blurple would sure be very nice later on.

Maxamet......Forgetaboutit. Lol

I will wait for the first reviews... but I guess when this comes out in m4 I will have to buy one.

This!

No need to rush, I think Para3 will be with us for a long time, I think it'll become one of the most popular models if not a bestseller, we will witness many iterations, sprints, exclusives etc...

If I was to make a decision about release model, it would be M390 in orange G10.
 
Will probably wait for a Blue S110V & enjoy a HAP40 CALY3 in the meanwhile. The only folder I own in that size range is a Delica.
 
Any rumblings anywhere about the release/sales of the PARA3. December has about 12 calendar days left.

From the feedback, I wonder if XHP or even S35VN would've driven more sales from the get go?

I'll be buying one regardless of the plain old S30v, BTW :D

I have been thinking the same thing, we are running out of December.

I would have been happier with either one of those steel choices I think, but I'm ok with S30V for now. It might be a while before we see a sprint.
 
Sal said that they were coming off the lines a couple days ago, and that it might take a bit to fill all the orders.
