Who's grabbing the blacked out para3 cruwear?
I am curious who else is grabbing one of these beauties from knifecenter?....I think I might have to....wish it was the pm2 version.
Re: Who's grabbing the blacked out para3 cruwear?
I like cruwear, but I'm not a raving fan. I like the Para3 better than the PM2, though. On balance, I think it's a pass for me. I have the native and manix in Cruwear, and I carry/use both of those quite a lot more than the Para3.
More for everyone else. :)

Bought the M4 para3 lightweight a few weeks ago.

So no
If it had of been in pakkawood…….**** yeah

Same as Tom, pass here so more for others. I find cruwear overhyped for what it is. (edit: For me at least:) S30v makes more sense in any folder basically, but particularly something in the Para series where added toughness really doesn't matter at all and you're sacrificing wear resistance and stain resistance for that toughness, not to mention paying a premium over s30v to get it.

I not.
Have the cruwear para 3 already.
Got a cruwear Dfly recently.
That's enough cruwear for the moment.
Para 3 lightweight would be a different story.
As exclusives are a pain to order from Europe it's easier to resist.

I thought about it, kind of like the murdered out color scheme and wouldn't mind a cru-wear folder, but I'm trying to stick to models and steels I like the most at this point. I kind of feel like MagnaCut is going to totally steal cru-wear's thunder in a year or so too, since stain resistance matters to me, I should probably hold out, plenty of other good options in the mean time.

I have a Cruwear Para 3 Sprint and several other flavors. So I won't be buying one. It's a good one though!
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: Who's grabbing the blacked out para3 cruwear?
Still hoping for that Endura in Cruwear (and waiting the PM2 as well of course). I used to have the light gray G10 Para3 with CW but this all black version can't replace it.
Re: Who's grabbing the blacked out para3 cruwear?
I think it’s a great knife, it’s just too small for me. My brother ordered one and is very excited about it. I told him I didn’t know anyone in Texas carries a knife that small.
I like the steel and color combo. Would’ve ordered it if it was a Military, Chief, or Police 4.

For anyone on the fence, consider taking a closer look courtesy this recent Knife Center video.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Re: Who's grabbing the blacked out para3 cruwear?
I should be getting one in the mailbox today. I'm really excieted for this model, the para 3 is a great EDC size, not too small in hand, not too big in pocket.
Re: Who's grabbing the blacked out para3 cruwear?
I bought one. I wanted a DLC para 3 and would rather have a coated tool steel than a coated stainless steel. I decided to swap my bento box blue g10 scales on to it. I think it came out pretty nice. Just waiting for the black lynch clips to come back in stock.

Re: Who's grabbing the blacked out para3 cruwear?
Just got the 2 I ordered. Keeping one, giving one to a good friend. I already have a Cruwear blade in a lightweight handle. The blackout is pretty amazing. Cruwear is also probably my favorite knife steel. I've put mine through heck. Not this one, though. This one is too beautiful.
Re: Who's grabbing the blacked out para3 cruwear?
Got mine. Have the DLT purple as well but the blacked out one was impossible to pass up...put a bronze MXG deep carry clip on it and good to go
