PM3 Vs Sage 5 * Update *

[simple6]

Trying to decide between these two for EDC rotation. Thoughts?

Edit - Ordered Para 3 in s110v last night.

They are very similar, almost identical in size. I personally like the ergos of the sage better. Look at the bottom edge of the handle. The para3 has a weird pomel thing going on that shortens the usable grip, but on the sage I can get a full four finger grip behind the choil. I also like the wire clip on the sage.

Other than that I think it's kind of a stylistic choice. Para3 has more colors and steel options if that matters to you.

I would replace the clip on the Sage, don't like the wire. Somebody makes replacement clips but dont remember who.

I like the Sage better also paired with Lynch clip.

Sage 1 Maxamet. (corrected)

Was looking for a regular clip as I hate deep carry.
I'll never understand the fascination with making a knife harder to draw.

I’d toss in the Sage 1 maxamet to the mix... the steel upgrade is significant in my mind. That being said, I think the Para3 is a better execution of the compression lock for my hands vs the Sage 5. And more options. But if possible, I’d choose C) Sage 1 Maxamet.

Thanks to all, ordered the Para 3.
