Definitely.
But in the lightweight. K390 would be nice.

Maybe Cutlery Shoppe will commission it as an exclusive? The wharncliffe PM2 is one their Spyderco exclusives. I could see a wharncliffe Para 3 having similar success as the PM2.

The PM2 CS Wharnie is one one my favorite knives in that model . I’m surprised it has not been introduced in the Para 3 . MG2

Generally not my favorite model, but for how I imagine for example having an indoor-job in a warehouse, this knife with a wharnie blade could be a perfect option. Also size wise.

I’d rather have a leaf blade with thinner stock in the lightweight

This! But also especially in a potential wharnie.

I am voting no because my smallish wharnie needs are already met and I'd rather see other already announced golden models get priority in the production queue.

Please not those safety-orange scales.

I believe they also offered an all black variant of their wharncliffe PM2, so maybe a Para 3 Wharncliffe would get similar version.

I hope so. I'm perfectly content with S30V in any finish, though I admit I'm partial to Knife Joy's 20CV + Neon Green and Steel Blue exclusives.

Correct , I have one . I do wonder if the blade design is totally exclusive to CS in other models . I would think so but could be wrong. MG2

The PM2 wharncliffe was one of the coolest blade shapes they've done. I wouldn't buy a para 3 specifically but it would be nice if the slim wharncliffe style were offered more.

I would be down for a Para 3 Warncliffe for sure!

Here is one of my PM2 Warnie’s.

Well seeing how I own 3 of the PM2 Wharncliffe the answer is yes and perhaps light weight for those who like them as for myself I am no fan of liner-less or lightweight anything and will gladly pay more.

I think I’d rather see a Tanto or Hawkbill. Or Spearpoint. But sure, why not?
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.
