That is an odd looking Knife Joker Manix 2 in G10 that I have been asking Santa for.

I love this colorway. I will keep waiting.

Looks nice but I think I have my fill of Para 3 LWs

I have a soft spot for the Para3 LW even though the handle is too short for my hand and there is actually not reason for the blade to be quite as thick. Yet - all together it makes for a very enjoyable blade.

Heck, I don't really even like the Para 3 though I love the LW platform. But Cru-Wear and LW, I'm very tempted.

I like this color combo. I'd be into some larger models in this configuration.

It would make a particularly handsome Manix 2 XL, although I’m pretty content with the KC Cruwear one I’ve got. I can imagine my friends in the military getting really excited for it.

Knife joker always picks nice colors for their exclusives. I imagine this one will sit on shelves for a bit since all these sales just wrapped up, and the para 3 lw doesn't seem to be for everyone.

I'd like to see it in person or at least some day light shots. I do like the color and I'm a fan of Cruwear. I'd have to decided which of my other P3LWs I'd get rid of

That is a nice looking knife. Good steel too with DLC.
Street legal is some backward places.
I do like the egros of the Para3 LW over the Delica.

It's not the worst knife you could buy.

I think the color is dark but beside a black scale the greener color might be more obvious.

I'm glad this is not a Manix 2 LW because I'd have to try and figure out a way to buy it.

Been waiting for the right sprint/exclusive of the LW to slap some AWT scales on. This might be it.

Only REX45 I have in a Para 3 is a G10 model with Tero Tuf scales. I'd be dumb to buy another Para 3. I have 5 G10 models and 4 LWs. I'm really just window shopping. I don't have much green in my whole collection. So I am kind of attracted to it. Plus Cruwear haha

Killer color combo. Tempted.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

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

I preordered one this morning. I’m excited about it. It will keep my Spy27 LW company.

I like it and was tempted until I saw the price. To much for a Para 3 LW imo.
