70+ Blades, 1 favorite
We all love to collect blades. Dont know why, we just do. In the electric guitar community its the Stratocaster. In the knife community its the Para 3. Besides the Iridium and Bugout, its the only blade I own multiples of. The Honda Civic of blades in the aftermarket world. Great out of the box, with a multitude of options to customize. Choose your steel, grab some AWT or the scales of your choice. MxG clip...and you have something special. The action, grip, ease of deployment that will always have you choosing it over almost 100 other options. Nothing else to say. Even if you prefer to keep it stock, its just perfect.

This thing is awesome I love the feel of it in my hand. I also love that you can mod it out and a lot of scales to change out!

Amazing as always
Starting off with the para 2 then moving to this is even better than I would’ve thought. The full-grip handles yet compact size makes this the perfect edc knife. Not only did this come razor sharp, the bevel was perfect, blade was centered, zero play, awesome acation and the g10 is the nicest I have seen on a knife. Although Spyderco’s reputation precedes itself, I felt it necessary to rave about this knife. Up next the shaman.

Great Knife
Came as promised. Action was smooth right out of the box. The blade was very sharp. Fit and finish are very nice. The knife is heavy for its size, but the weight adds a nice degree of confidence while using it.
