Fradon Lock Elmax and CF Para 3 - 8/12 release date

[Buddafucco]

Also it should be noted that this is a run of 600 or less. Lower production numbers usually means higher price.

Stunning and the most expensive Para3 so far...

BentoBoxShop has them beat with the K390 Para3 Exclusive for $234.95 + $15 shipping.

You forgot TAX+Shipping.
I have to imagine who ever runs that place has a day job. Hard to believe they'd make a lot of sales.

Fortunately it was $175 when i bought it in 2019.

Sure is purdy! I'm tapped for the next decade though.

I carry no debt, we live well below our means, we both have excellent paying jobs; yet even if I’m not tapped out I just can’t stomach a para 3 at the $220 price point. My days of buying spyderco exclusives and sprint models is coming to a close shortly because the prices are getting too high.

Poor excuse for the price.

I'm with you, I've come to the realization that I've got more than I need. Besides MuleTeam knives, I won't be making any purchases unless I sell off a few.

At least that's the plan...

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time Elmax was used for the Para 3, or was there an earlier release with this steel? Hoping another shop makes a P3 Elmax with G10 for a lower price - 220 for a relatively slippy grip doesn't sound great to me, especially with inflation and stuff. Great for Fradon Lock exclusive collectors though!

Stock photo to show that it's not blue.

Super smooth checkout, again! I swear they upgrade their servers or something just for drops because their site is actually faster than normal.

Can wait to get it in hand, it actually my first Para 3!

[Mrj]

Still available wow. Already on secondary market. Get it while it lasts. I love this vendor. They are underrated imo.

[Bdubs808]

Just ordered 1 as well, I was gonna pass and just sleep in and miss the drop. Woke up late and it's still in stock, had to grab it.

[buccilli15]

I caved in too. I've been going back and forth on buying a shiro with marbled cf all week. I figure by buying this para 3, I'm supporting my favorite manufacturer and saving myself $900

[Dazen]

And they are gone!

I hope they do more in this configuration!

[ZrowsN1s]

Im jealous of those who got one. Beautiful knife, wish I could buy all the things.

[nerdlock]

Congrats to all who got one. I'm hoping for more P3 Elmax but in regular G10.

Was in the same boat for this one. I seem to have bad luck with Fradon drops, but that's alright. Someday!

Hope everyone enjoys! Sure is purdy!

[Mrj]

Absolutely Beautiful

[Mrj]

Extremely smooth scales.

What are your thoughts on Elmax? The new Shaman in Elmax in G10 caught my eye but other than being similar to S30V I don't know much about the steel.
