So, i did buy this as a new knife, but from a reseller, not from Spyderco.

[@antonssergejevs3205]

from which re-seller did you get this? :))) I personally fancy knivesandtools.com, great guys

[@mr.delacruz559]

I would definitely send it back that way they can send you a new one. the edge is very important and Spyderco has higher standards than what you got. The Para 3 is an outstanding knife & I'm very sorry that you had to experience this as your first Spyderco. Unless you know how to sharpen it and don't want to hassle with shipping it back and the wait time. If you do know how to sharpen it then I would go route.

[@zoroaster3053]

Fox knives made in Italy and are Danish designed are also a great choice. Jesper voxnaes makes great designs. He also has some knives made by crkt. If you want a cheap knife you can lose try a morakniv which are fixed blades. Or a opinel.

[@grizzlycountry1030]

There are companies in the United States you can have merchants ship your items to. The companies will then box it all up for you and ship it overseas. Here is one such company that does it and supposed to be cheaper. I had a couple buyers on Ebay use these types of companies. US Mail & Package Forwarding Service | USAbox.com www.usabox.com/

Dude Spyderco should send u a new knife that chip is uncalled for

[@jakematthews2458]

They would fix the chip, but I understand not waiting. Great video man. Quality stuff.

[@Paul-ft5xy]

@R A they would since it came out the box like that

[@matta8004]

Agree that is ridiculous. Should re place the blade free

No way is that knife brand new, Spyderco would never let that pass through quality inspections. Where did you get this knife from?

@@Rick-mo2zm i agree Rick. I've never had a bad spyderco out of the box. Sal and Eric Glesser would freak out seeing that!

I would contact spyderco my friend. Just seeing that chip made me cringe 😬 I’m sure if you send an email with a picture, they’ll let you use it till they replace it with a new one since you’re so far away. Great video and review by the way

[@pangkoy1086]

Spyderco should give you a free one for this

[@justinbelcher3679]

Good choice my friend. Don't lose it.

i am so jealous (in a good way) that you have so many animals and you enjoy this wonderful scenery every day... i wish i could live like that with my wife and 2 newborns.. but im stuck in the city.. :(

[@trshuster]

Just got my first Spyderco knife today. A PM 2 with a black S90V blade and Tiffany blue G-10 scales. It feels awesome and is so sharp out of the box. I’m definitely a Spyderco fan now. Thanks for the video.

[@kalebphillips9281]

This was an awesome video. I loved getting to see the knife that I'm considering picking up for my minimalist EDC kit in action, and getting to see the beautiful scenery there, and your precious fur babies was a massive plus. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work!

[@FarmerE]

Thank you so much, Kaleb! Much appreciated!!

[@KernowEDC]

Dude, I came to look at the Para 3 and ended up looking at how fun your life looks! Good on you. If you're after a second knife and don't want to break the bank, I'd recommend the Ontario Rat II. If you're wanting something you casn drop on the floor and not worry about losing it then get the Rat in orange. It's around $50 so a great 'beater' knife. Anyway, really enjoyed your video! Thanks again :)

[@BestDamnEDC]

Hey, this is a really great video. Well shot and it's a nice change of pace seeing a knife put to some good use like that. In my opinion, though, you dodged a bullet by not getting the Bugout. It's a great knife, don't get me wrong. But for your type of use and being based outside the US, the Bugout would likely break down before the Para 3 and sending it in for warranty would be a pain. For your second knife, I'd recommend something a little more hard use, like maybe a Zero Tolerance or, if the budget can swing it, a Hinderer or Chris Reeve knife. Those are expensive but lifetime knives. If you want to stick with Spyderco, I'd get a Shaman.

[@FarmerE]

Hey, thanks!! Do you still think the same about the Bugout after the "upgrade"? I´ll check out the ones you suggested for the second knife, thanks. Didn´t think i´d care to much about knives, but this has gotten me fired up, and i will definitely own more than one knife, for sure!

[@BestDamnEDC]

Farmer E Definitely! The Bugout is a great knife, but if I were you, especially for a work knife, I would go with something intended for a little more hard use like the Spyderco Shaman. And trust me, I know how it is. I had about 4-5 knives under two years ago. Now I have WAY too many. 😂 If you ever want to talk knives or KZbin or have any questions, hit me up on Instagram under the same name.

[@kalendrik]

Ordered a para 3 lightweight today, can’t wait! And be careful when using the grinder on old oil barrels, they tend to still contain fumes and explode when you cut thru. Fill it with water first to be safe.

[@idhatemet00]

you can also use a sawzall instead of a grinder since it doesn't throw sparks, negates having to fill with water before hand 👍

[@lifebehindacow5999]

Looks like a good choice. I am impressed by the beauty of the area in which you live.

[@FarmerE]

I love it! Yeah, it is beautiful. Although, i don’t allways notice when living in it. You also have an amazing scenery!

[@grizzlycountry1030]

I prefer how the paramilitary 2 blade tip is more inline with the centerline of the hand giving you a more instinctive motion for stabbing/penetrating tasks such as packing tape on a box or bag you wish to open.

[@edwardtiangco1445]

Just discovered your channel.. sweet editing! You being any other than a farmer is kinda hard to believe.. subbed. Oh yeah, get the Para 2 for your next bigger blade.

[@FarmerE]

Thank you! Yeah, i really love the para 3, so there´s a big chance for the para 2 eventually!

First timer watching & love the farming. I operate tractors & equipment for work too. I’m a knife🔪 enthusiast & Para 3 is my favorite field EDC knife👍🏻. Can’t go wrong w/Para 3 or Paramilitary 2 (bigger size) I use a serrated one too for plant material. Now that QC for the chipped blade is out of norm for Spyderco....I’d definitely reach out to the sender🤔. I Will stay tuned 🚜!

Thanks, man! I´m new to the whole knife scene, but i can really see why people get hooked on knives! I love it! Really considering the para 2, i´ll probably go there eventually. Thanks for watching!

[@20alroco]

Happy to hear you did not select the buyout. Benchmade makes a great knife and all, but the bugout is not the best offering. Spyderco also makes a superior product. I own several of each, I like the para 3 so much I own two. I also have a manix 2 with awt aluminum scales, to cut down some weight.

So I bought this knife, it is sooo good! I do like a smaller EDC tho, or I am used to smaller one. Great choice!

[@FreedomFox1]

The Spyderco salt series is great for farming (corrosion-proof, so super easy to clean). For a veggie farmer, a longer serrated Atlantic or Pacific model would be perfect harvest knives. Or the Native salt, for the standard utility stuff shown in the video (the native is nicely stout and compact).

[@tombrown8800]

Sorry to hear you lost your knife , I've been there. When you first said you were considering a new one I immediately thought Spyderco Paramilitary 2. Those chips in the edge should not have been there. Spyderco is one of the very best knife companies and no way would they have let that blade leave the factory in that condition. Benchmade is also a good company but the Para 3 is so much more robust than the Bugout. If you sharpen you can get those chips out. Please don't use one of those pull- through sharpeners. Removes too much material & rounds the point. Hope you got the Para 2 by now. Really liked that you showed you working around your farm & loved that you included the dogs. Good music too. Stay well.

I think you made a good choice with the para3. I really enjoy my manix2 from spyderco but I feel like the tip is ground too thin like the para to be a really hard use knife.

I know they aren't the same quality but have you considered a Mora kniv fixed blade and just wear it on your belt around the farm fixed blades are easier to use, never shut on your fingers and the mora are so durable and cheap they are almost throw away items. Also bright coloured handles and sheaths make them easy to find when you drop them or put it down somewhere and forget.
