Got mine today and it's my first Para 3. WOW! the size is absolutely perfect. Swore I would never buy a Para 3. Man was I wrong. Delicas are all back in the safe. The MGX clip makes this knife though. The Maxamet was so **** sharp I already cut myself.!
I will say that of all the knives I own, this one came perhaps the sharpest from the factory. Given how well Maxamet is supposed to hold its edge too, I'm wondering just how long it'll take before I need to give this a sharpen.

Has anyone managed to dull theirs yet?

I've just been trying not to think of the PM 3 Maxamet...
...and as you can see, I've failed again. :D

Maxamet is on my next list.
PM2 + PM3.

I count PM2's + PM3's instead of sheep while I sleep at night.

New rule: no more buy it now / sell another knife later.

I tried really hard to stick to that... and I swear (right after the hap40 wharn delica drops :rolleyes: ) I'm really going to stick to it next time.
And who likes going out to eat anyways? That's just expensive, bad for your diet, and lazy right? Just gonna enjoy some home cooked meals for a while ;)

What's keeping me from buying another knife is that I really should invest in some good sharpening equipment first.

Man everyone wants that hap40 delica. I am also on board with that one. This knife was a no brainier no thinking purchase. Was going to get it no matter what lol

At least if you buy maxamet you can hold off on sharpening equipment for a little while haha

Spyderco makes too many gems. Dam you Spyderco. Darth Cholo's photo makes me want to hit the buy button yesterday. I had the Maxamet PM3 on order through Optics Planet for $154.00 free ship. Talked to a rep, who said there were 4 available through their 3rd party. Never saw anything come through with ship #, called back, they said they were out + a month out for any more to come in, so I cancelled the order. Now I am thinking I should have kept it and waited as everywhere else I am seeing it around $185.00. Been alot of ramen and tuna lately. New daughter eats and dresses better then I do. I really need to get off the internet and start working on my sharpening and bbq skills. But if I were to do that, I would have never gotten my PM2 M390 in blood red. And she's my favorite.

It's pretty much how I started collecting knives. Just buy a new one when the one i carried becomes dull. Dropped some money in a good sharpening system. Then I justified buying super steels since I had a good sharpening system and ended up buying more knives!

I'm blown away that I keep seeing it pop up in stock places still. Good to see

If they make the PM2 again maybe I won't be afraid to use it!

It arrived and it’s better than I expected! Nice chamfered edges on the blade and the grey G10 is stunning. With the MXG Gear clip a total win!

I said to myself that I'm not gonna buy it, even if it's Maxamet and even I like the gray G10
Because I already have S90V CF and Cruwear Para 3s
And I have a Maxamet Para2
I said that and that's final :D
