Doesn't look translucent like their Manix2 LW exclusive was.

Thats a cool little microfiber cloth! Oddly enough, I have more desire for one of those microfibers than the Para 3 LW itself! :grin-squint

Also, the knife in question is a regular black Manix 2 LW.

You don't think it has a greenish tint to it?

Crop out the sticker with the green bottom… then no, to me it loses any perceived green in the knife handle.

To my perception, it doesn’t. Also, I would expect it to have a DLC blade if it was a KnifeJoker exclusive.

So I agree with this observation. It would be cool if they dropped a green manix but would need a dlc blade. Idk why they chose to put a regular manix on the towel. Why not they’re exclusive? In person the towel knife has a greenish hue but not distinct enough to be green.

Some pics for color comparison.

Against a grey card:

Next to TKJ Shaman Exclusive:

Between the white GPK Rex 45 & Black Original versions:

This Para 3 is dark enough to be perceived as black in low light.

Glad I didn't have the discipline to pass on it. I like the color and loves me that Cru-Wear.

I've been holding out due to budget shortages, this doesn't make it any easier lol. Really want one of these though as I just sold my LW Para 3 in BD1N out to a customer today and don't have any others. Something about this model in general just hits the easy button on a lot of levels.

I have 4 of the LWs alone. But recently I was thinking I could probably lose the DLT M390 one. Maybe this would be a good replacement? I do like the idea of having a Cruwear Para 3. Hmmm....

Broke down and bought the Black Forest Para3 LW.
Nothing like a price reduction to encourage you.
DLC Cruwear doesn't hurt either.
