Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Anyone got any experience with a Para 3. Just ordered one with a solid discount on it, never had a knife from Spyderco before

@LewisStonehouse – Not with the Para 3 but I happen to LOVE my Spyderco YoJumbo and Delica 4:
Great quality for the cost IMO. The primary brand I buy w/r/t folders.

Nice kit @henry_david
I’ve always fancied one, and they seem good value (especially on offer)

Nice! Wrong thread but I’ve got a little surefire flashlight that I’ve had for years, it’s absolutely brilliant

Gorgeous mate, straight to jail if you were caught with that in the UK without good reason. Shame because nothing beats a fixed blade

I have one… it was my first proper folder in fact, scored off Giles a few years back. This was a special edition using 52100 steel, which is NOT a great steel for a noob like I I was then, nor is it suitable for Norway (rust issues).
All that aside though, the ergonomics are sublime. Light, very comfortable in the hand, easy to choke up on and use for precision work. Despite its size and weight it feels like you’re using a BFK (big fucking knife). The blade design is great too.

Mega! Cheers @neph93
The one I’ve ordered has S45VN. I’ve had S35VN before, presumably this is even better, because it’s 10 more init?

Isn’t that how all things work? [emoji38]

I have a hard time telling the difference between S45VN and S35Vn, etc. I think for someone like me it's all the same, @LewisStonehouse. What do you use as a sharpener?
-
@neph93 more is more
@henry_david I sharpen my knives when I visit my Dad, he’s got an extremely over-engineered (and ridiculously expensive) jig that makes it a doddle. Can’t remember the name of it, I’ll ask him and report back
-
Much appreciated dude!
-
@henry_david it’s a TSProf K03 apparently
-
Damn that sharpener's a BEAST ???
-
Yeah dude it’s cool, did a good job sharpening all my knives anyway
-
@neph93 love that knife. The steel is ball bearing steel. Very high tolerance. Don’t fear the rust. It’s just knife fades. Have you mastered the spydie flick?
I have learnt that. Although funnily enough, I learnt it on an MKM knife. I was playing with it one night and figured that if I do «that» then «that» it should flink and it did. I then remembered reading about the spydie flick, Googles it, and had that Gen X superiority rush. It was nice.

Enjoy my para3 as well–-but the scales did chew up my pockets pretty quickly.
