Nice comparison. I’m a much bigger fan of the Sage 5 than the Para 3, and I expect to like the Sage 5 LW more than either of these myself. I’m not sure a P3 with upgraded steel should score much better, but you’re the expert. I’m more impressed by blade geometry than steel, and they’ll keep that the same on the P3 regardless of the steel. Personally I wish they would have thinned the P3 blade for this version, but that would have shocked me had they done it.

Thank you for this video. I am interested in the para 3lw after getting kind of bored with my bugouts. The bugout is a good knife and affordable under benchmade standards. Like many, after a few weeks, the itch to get a new knife kicks in. It is very welcomed for spyderco to release that type of lock with that handle material. I am sure I will love the para 3lw too. I have a bias against spyderco because the spydey hole duck bill shape blades do not look great to me, and I am digging the very basic boring look of the bugout. The difference between the two do not seem different enough to deter me from buying either one. Thanks again for pointing out the little differences. *edit for auto correct problems.

For those who said their omega springs broke, well my 940-2 omega spring broke yesterday after owning the knife for 18 months. Since I live in Canada, sending it back to Benchmade is out of the question, so I took out my tools and a package of stainless steel memory wire and made my own. Took around an hour but I'm confident the next time it will be much less time. Works great and if any of my other BM's break, I'll be able to fix them. As far as the two knives mentioned in the vid, I have a Bugout and a regular Para 3. I have no desire for the lightweight version as of yet. I just watched a video by a youtuber named "Zach's Stuff" beating the blazes out of the Bugout and it stood up to all the abuse with just some scratches. If you watch that it may very well change your mind thinking how strong the Bugout actually is.

It’s funny that in so many of these comparisons, the elephant in the room is ignored. I'm talking about the blade opening mechanism.

I will probably eventually pick up a Para 3 lw, but I;m just not in any hurry. I have 2 of the G10 versions, both in upgraded steels, and I just don't have a burning need to go lw. In general, I prefer g10 over the frn, but I do appreciate the wire clip and the moved lanyard hole. About time they actually listened to their customers. I haven't had my Bugout all that long, but since I got it, it's been in my pocket damn near constantly. In my opinion, it wins hands down over the Para 3 in both carry and slicing. I can't compare to the Para3 lw since I don't have one, but compared to the g10 versions, it wins hands down, and weight has nothing to do with that for me. Unless I'm wearing gym shorts, which is almost never, weight is not an issue for me, as long as it isn't a total brick. I'm a jeans type of guy. The cutting performance is far more important to me than weight, and as far as in the pocket goes, I don't feel the difference between a 2 ounce knife and a 5 ounce knife. In hand, I actually prefer a little more weight, but it still isn't a deciding factor for me either way.

Handles are G10 and hence rigid. Super slim in pocket; super lw; really worth a look. Some versions discontinued. so may be hard to get. Pricing runs anywhere from about $100 to $150...!

Great Battle. I personally think they are a tie. It comes down to personal preference. I have both and I agree with all your points except quality. My first Bugout I returned to REI because the Axis lock was gritty and would really stick at times. I probably could have spent time fixing it but why should I? It should be right from the start until you use it. My second one is better by the centering is slightly off. The QC issues Benchmade has had still show up at times. I have never has a QC issue with any Spyderco. But I agree with all your other categories. Now the we are heading into warm weather, it will be a coin flip as to which one I carry when wearing basketball type shorts. So far I like both. But the as a lefty, the Bugout is a little more friendly. Spyderco please add the button compression lock to the PM3 LW! Thanks for your analysis of both these great blades.

To me, the Benchmade was designed for the purpose it serves, even to the point of using titanium in the liner to make the knife lighter as well as a smaller (and awesome!) clip. I think the Para 3 feels more like taking an existing platform and pushing it into a round hole for another use (obviously). Half a liner, pins and fasteners and blade riding in formed plastic on the opposite scale, not saying it’s “bad” just not nearly as good as the BM. In overall form, the Benchmade is better executed for the purpose. I think the Bugout is a walk away winner, especially when I take them apart side by side. In the end, I own both. Both are great. I think Benchmade takes WAY too much grief in the “community” for quality and price. And I can give 2 shits about them helping a police department destroy guns. Geeze, what a stupid ass thing to get so wound up about. Also, I own about 15 Benchmades. Never have had an omega spring break. To me, that is like the complaint on the Speed Safe torsion bar. I carried a Blur every day for 4 years (my gateway knife). I used it for everything and never took it apart to maintenance. Never had that spring break or rattle.

You must’ve just been really lucky and light on use and fidgeting over time, I’ve had several omega sprigs snap on me as well as loose strength over time. Also lockbar stick is extremely common on axis locks that see utility, and 3 of my 5 axis locks have had to be modified with my Dremel tool due to out-the-factory issues with alignment causing this lock bar stick issue I mentioned. You’ve had a speedsafe knife for over 4 years with no rattle? Very very hard to believe unless you poured some hot glue down in between the scale and liner. The thing preventing the torsion bar from ratting is simply a smidgeon of grease. That’s not gonna last over 4 years without drying up or crusting over with dust and debris

@sngx13045 жыл бұрын
I don’t fidget with my benchmades too much. I do use them though. Considering that the pressure is not on the springs during actual use, that may be why mine last. I have had lock stick on my BMs before, but it has always gone away after a month or so of use. I also don’t take them apart very often, so I’ve never had any reassembly issues or stresses from over extending or compressing the spring. I also have never had to modify any of them. All that is probably why they last. My Kershaw Blur was carried every day for 4 years because it was the only knife I had back then. I used it in a factory, at home and in the woods when I hunted. It never rattled. It is sitting in my garage in my toolbox. It still doesn’t rattle. I bought it in 2010. I took it apart one time 3 years ago, cleaned it up and put new grease in it. What do I have to gain by lying?

Which knife would be better for self defense? Para 3 has better grip but the Bugout deploys faster...
@Pharto_Stinkus3 жыл бұрын
1. Neither deploys faster than the other. They are both smooth, and fast. 2. Neither of these was designed for use as a tactical blade ie: for self defense or fighting purposes. 3. If you're not trained in the use of a knife for self defense, and you get into a situation where you have to use a knife to defend yourself, it doesn't really matter what knife you have, as long as its sharp and pointy it will be just as (in)effective in your hands as anything else. 4. Get some pepper spray. Much easier to use, and more effective in a self-defense situation.

@@Pharto_Stinkus Thanks, also, tactical flashlights are the most useful and legally usable self defense tool of them all IMO. They're also extremely effective. The M2R Pro is currently the best one IMO.

Thanks for the comparison with any knife the absolute most important thing is the blade 90 % the last 10 % is just fluff 2 great knives I am sure they both cut well both company's have that reputation I wonder how many people are actually buying knives to cut things rather than a play toy . want great ergonomics remove the pocketclip add a lanyard and carry only in your watch / knife pocket 😉😉😉😉😉😉🤔

being under 3 inches opens up the para3 to more counties in CA, otherwise both look amazing

I'm not aware of any blade length limits in CA, other than for automatics (must be less than 2", per state law). Can you clarify?

I couldn't disagree more. The compression lock is easier left handed than right handed.

I watched the PM3 LW tear down video Spyderco posted, and the fact that they didn't use a washer on one side and instead molded it into the handle - that's a deal breaker for me. That is a decision I just don't understand. It's not saving any meaningful amount of weight, or cost, but it is spot where wear could be an issue over time.
@Pharto_Stinkus3 жыл бұрын
As he stated in the video, Spyderco does this on many of their models, and it's never proven to be an issue. It is in fact, a non-issue, much like the whole "Spydie-hole creates a weak point in the blade" non-issue that is so commonly repeated by people that have obviously never owned a Spyderco.
@mountaindont34ify4 жыл бұрын
What are your thoughts on the compression lock being weak PM the para 3 lw? I've heard people say it's not good for baring down since pressure is going into FRN on one side and steel on the other?
