Which para 3 to keep?

[cnm123]

52100 carbon fiber or M4 dlc jade?

 

[PStone]

My vote is to blade swap them, and have one wicked blacked out CF M4, and one jade 52100.

If that’s not an option, I vote jade dlc m4.

Well..
Answer this survey.

Do you have alot of experience sharpening or a little?

Do you like to sharpen your own knives or have someone else do it?

Do you enjoy patina on your knives?

Do you use your knives often to cut a lot of things? (be honest on this one)


Is resale value something of interest to you or do you simply buy knives to use and own period?

A blade swap has crossed my mind.....

I can sharpen just fine, that’s not a prob.
I use most of my knives and don’t baby the ones I do, but I have collected a few that don’t get used.
I don’t currently have a para3 user

I would keep the 52100 but it’s going to depend on your preference and opinion.

 

[Cscotttsss]

Tough call, as they're both awesome steels. I'd keep both, lol.

Not a fan of the jade G10, so keep the 52100 carbon fiber.

M4, both knives will strop easily to a razors edge so I’ll take the one with more wear resistance.

 

[blame it on god]

If I were to only keep one, I would go for the ease of sharpening 52100. Not that M4 is terrible to sharpen, but 52100 is just that much easier.

M4 jade based purely on looks.

 

[cnm123]

I am really tempted to keep both, I've sold all the other m4 stuff I've ever had.

 

[Jack of All Blades]

why did you sell all your m4? the answer may lie there.

 

[cnm123]

^^^^ hmmm...
I hadn’t really warmed up to the para3 until just recently.
The satin para3 M4 just didn’t do it for me, the native 5 same thing.
I missed out on the manix and pm2.
So here I am.

Just do it! You'll regret getting rid of one later on.
