What knife would you choose?

[Petrus2]

Hello all

I’m new at this forum and the knife world.
My name is Petrus from the Netherlands.

My old EDC was a Civivi Elementel. Great knife but I wanted something different with better steel.

Now I don’t know what to get.
I have a choice of 2.
That because both are good knives and both have that “fidget” option to play with hahahaha ( can’t discribe it different ).

I’m looking at a Kizer cyberblade titanium with S35vn steel or a Spyderco Para 3 lightweight with cts bd1n steel.

If you should choose, what would you pick?

Para 3 because it’s made in the states

Para 3

Para 3. But I’d go with a regular version in S45VN for a few $ more

Someone else commented with some emojis of a hand pointing... I think their comment said it best.

Spyderco

That’s €100 more. Not a few more

Para 3 in CTS BD1 would be my choice. Great steel, more practical than S45VN.

Ah I should’ve read better. Here in the states it’s like a $40 difference.
I’d still go with the PM3.
I love my PM2s. Great ergos, probly better blade geometry, great everything, but the BD1N steel won’t hold an edge as long as S35VN.

Yeah? I honestly never tried it, but S35VN and Elmax are two of my favorites (and I hear it’s very similar to Elmax)

Sorry… I’d get the Civivi. The Elementum is a great knife!!

Para 3

trois, drei

 

[Jesse B.]

The Kizer Cyber Blade does not look very practical.

Ewwww, Elon Musk design that one?

 

[hhmoore]

As awful as the kizer is, I know i don't like the PM3. I'd keep looking (maybe at the Hogue Deka)

Para 3 if you want a knife you can actually use.

Actually BD1N should hold an edge longer than S35VN or almost equally. Cedric and ada was pretty impressed by it, and did a test with it.
