Will they ever come out with a sprint para 3 lefty?

[John_94]

Question says it all. I can only find an S30V model and there’s no way to swap blades. So does anyone know if they ever plan on releasing lefty sprints?

Do you mean 2?
No, I don’t think they ever will

I was scrolling fast and misread a para 2 lefty. But I guess my question is will they make a para 3 lefty

Fingers crossed for a Para 3 lefty. I recently got the PM2 lefty and it’s great!

It was several years between the introduction of the Para 2 and the release of a left-hand version. I don't have access to sales figures, but I doubt the Para3 is selling like the Para 2, and those sales figures are going to determine whether there will be a lefty Para3.

I bought the lefty Military and PM2. If they release a lefty PM3 I'll buy one.

Lefty? Probably not as the comp lock can be used by both hands. Sprint lefty? No.

Hardcore lefty here realizes no sprints, but fingers crossed that Para 3 follows the PM2 and there is a LH version in the works.

I tried a right-handed comp lock (standard PM2) with my left hand and found it extremely awkward. The lefty comp lock is far easier to use for me as a lefty. I have no problems with right-handed liner locks, frame locks, slip joints, or anything else I've come across. Standard right-handed compression lock is an automatic "do not buy" for me. So I guess if Spyderco doesn't make a lefty PM3, I'll save a little money.
