Looks like DLT will be releasing the Para 3 in their purple G10+dlc Cruwear combo in a couple weeks. Didn't see this mentioned here yet, just thought I'd share for those interested.

Re: DLT Exclusive Para 3 Cruwear DLC
Never had a regular para 3. How does it compare to the lightweight?

Man, I was really hoping the next one would be the Military since we finally saw a new Military exclusive last week. It seems like they run the same model for a while in batches. Bummer.

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: DLT Exclusive Para 3 Cruwear DLC
Hello Sethwm. I have the standard Para 3 LW (BD1N) and 2 regular G10 models (Maxamet and CTS204P). The descriptions on the Spyderco site show the LW weighs an ounce less than the regular G10. I realize for the hiking crowd that ounces make pounds and every bit counts. For all my practical everyday use, I don’t notice the difference. There are plenty of threads on here comparing the base models (the for and against and so on).
This one seems good value at $3.50 more than the base DLC CPMS45VN model, if you go down that path.
