Which Para 3 to choose?

[ucfgrad93]

Yep, and S90V is already in my collection.

I am missing the three steels from my opening post, plus some M390, SB, RWL34, 3V, 4V, PSF27, LC200N,..

SKU wise I currently don't own of the permanent models that receive sprints: Millie, Para3, N5, DF, Delica, and I'm sure I'm missing some...

I'd go with the M390 one.

What do you have in CPM 154?

Apparantly I missed to list it. It's not yet in my possession.

What about the M390 Para3?

The red DLT exclusive would definitely be a great alternative. But when will it be available again? Nobody knows, right?

BentoBox is selling a M390 in blue.

BentoBox is also ripping off their customers, foreign even more than US domestic. I will never ever buy from them. Jmtc

Maybe so.
But it's not what a knife is worth, it's what one is willing to pay for it. To each his own. :)

True. For me, they are a 100% no-go.

I think $170 shipped really isn't a bad price for that BBS Para 3. M390 steel, unique color scales, great knife. What's $10-15 more for a better steel than most Para 3 models. You'll spend that on a meal at Mcdonalds

I’d pay that for satin (or stone washed) M4 with CF scales. I would not pay that for S(anything)V.

Maximet is currently available via Bento Box Shop, but it's $300.

I will add I just got my first Para 3, the Blade HQ natural with DLC M4. I like it more than expected (though I should have known better), and I will buy more. But not for $300.

I'm sorry that they are not treating you properly. They actually are not bad domestically. I've been reading a lot lately about these incredible overseas knife shipping costs that are beyond insane. I have purchased items from many countries and rarely have a shipping cost problem. I wish there was more info on what is going on here as it seems to be a real problem, especially for knives. Is there any amount you buy where they give you international free shipping? If not then that's not cool either.

You could also wait until the next batch drops from River's Edge Cutlery. Get CTS-204P. Sorry if this does not help. :)

$68.95 USD for shipping internationally, and they excluse themselves from any liability if the goods get lost during transfer. Do I need to say more?

Up to $20 are ok. No need to pay more for any express delivery, I can wait (even if that is hard sometimes). But that the seller wants nothing to do with the shipping once the package has left their premises is a 100% no-go. And at that BBS-BS rate, that is actually beyond rude.

[RickC27]

WOW...I did not realize shipping charges were that much. I also missed the part where you are not located in the states. I can totally understand your gripe now.

[Woodpuppy]

Their domestic shipping rates are too high, especially because it looks like they charge that per knife on a multiple knife order? But that international rate is :eek: Most any folder I’ve ever seen fits in the small USPS priority box. $6.70. The box is provided free by the USPS. USPS will come pick the package up! There’s no reason to charge more than $7.

Sorry, missed that you lived International as well.
That's crazy. Maybe Bento Box Shop will chime in on this since I saw them browsing this thread late last night.
