Spyderco Forums

i used one of my Para 3s to begin to peel off the neck wrapping of a Stella Artois so i could use a bottle opener to pop the cap

my 2nd Spydiechef. i liked the first one so much that i had to get another one while i can. still waitin on that Spydiechef in S90V... i kno, i kno, that would defeat the purpose of Spydercos only foldable chef's knife. I've been told but a man can dream can't he?

wow, ya'll on Spyderco's CS like a hooker on a sinker lol. but seriously, i have gotten probably 20 to 25 spydies BNIB and not once have i had to send the knife back or even contact Spyderco's CS. if there was an issue it was small enough for me to fix on my own. maybe I'm just lucky tho...

ummmmm... I would have to say... just about everything! seeing as I carry no less than 2 of them (sometimes 3. you could say I'm an itty bitty bit of a fan of the Para 3 lol) on the daily it gets used for pretty much anything and everything I need a knife for. I've got several exclusive safe queen P...

i randomly bought a Resilience at Walmart in 2017. the next day I went back for the Tenacious. the day after that, i ordered my first PM2. the rest is, as they say, history.

i'd be happy with more S90V anything! Preferably another PM2 since i missed the DLT Trading exclusive or a Para 3 sprint or exclusive (not the LW cuz, well, i hate em...) with CF scales even though they already did that one. if we're dreaming here then a Spydiechef or Slycz Bowie in S90V would be so...

Let's see.... Right pocket is my trusty Para 3 in S90V with CF scales (not the sprint but one I frankensteined together from a Para 3 LW exclusive and after market marbled CF scales). Left pocket is my brand spankin new Para 3 in S45VN. I'm putting the new S45VN thru it's paces to see if it's really...

another switchweroo. I had to use different washers for the DLC blade for some reason. it was just a smidge smaller than the Maxamet so constant blade wobble but she's running smooth now!

I thought this combo was pretty sweet. I wanted the M4 blade and my girl wanted the jade scales with a DLC blade. it worked out for once!

They’re not specifically designed or guaranteed to be compatible (they might just say this for liability reasons), but I’ve definitely heard of people doing it. Have you disassembled and maintained a knife before? Parts of it can be a huge pain. I disassembled and cleaned a para 3 lw once and found...

Basically the title. I have a few of both and I would like but I don't have one of the original M4 para 3s but I got an M4 LW and would like to put original para 3 scales on the M4 blade. Would this work?

I searched with the search bar and came up with nothing.

thanks!

My trusty murdered out Para 3.

If they are putting dlc on the liners now that's pretty cool. Thanks for the scoop It’ll be interesting to see a DLC Para 3 (or a PM2) with black liners. I haven’t been able to find any images on the knife sites I shop at. The only DLC compression lock knife with blackened liners I’ve been aware of...

This is the best pic I could get without taking it apart

When you say CQI'd para 3 are you talking about when they added a slanted notch on the tang for better lockup or something else? When you say CQI'd para 3 are you talking about when they added a slanted notch on the tang for better lockup or something else? I was wondering about that too. The only ...

Hey guys and gals, I got one of the new CQI'd Para 3's a few days ago and I was just wondering if anyone knows whether Spyderco is still using DLC to coat their black blades or if they're using something else now. The reason I ask is that I can't find a single retailer or piece of literature that sa...

Well, I bought it for myself, does that count? I finally got my hands on a brand new CQI'd Para 3 with the "black" S30V blade. I have a worker PM2 in the same configuration but sometimes the PM2 is just a tad too big. All of my Para 3s are basically safe queens so I decided it was time to ...

I think the DLC Para 3 (in both black & digi-camo G10) is in the middle of getting a product refresh/CQI (Constant Quality Improvement) update. You should be able to find an old one online if you look hard enough, but if I were you, I'd just wait for the new CQI version to find its way to your ...

So, I'm a collector of the military series (more specifically the PM2 and the Para 3) and over the years I've put off purchasing the base model Para 3 with DLC because I figured since it was a base model, production knife that it would always be available therefore the sprints and exclusives were a ...
