I've had my Paramilitary 2 open up a couple times after accidentally dropping on the floor, But that's not a rare occurrence.

Hey nice collection dude!! the only bummer for me is I’m in Canada don’t even have a chance to get these knife shop exclusives cuz pretty much all types of knives are banned from crossing the border smh they’ll seize them

[@knifevideochannel4657]

I heard Canada customs was a problem, I didn't know it was that bad. Are they totally illegal in Canada? If so that's ridiculous! How do some guys I've seen on KZbin get blades in? Thanks for watching

[@Brye29]

Knife Video Channel the law is so stupid/funny. The thing is we have knife stores here that sell all of these banned from import knives. So I can get most knives from most brands as well as brand specific sprint runs of most knives but the dealer exclusives is where we can’t cuz we can’t import those them as an individual. And as you know dealer exclusives are exclusive to the knife store so our stores wouldn’t have them

[@knifevideochannel4657]

Totally ridiculous! I live in California and the way this state is going, Probably will be in the same boat as you eventually. What the hell is the world coming to?

[@Ovarian_invasion]

I ordered a civivi elementum and a WE banter and the boarder services took them calling them "Centrifugal" yet you can look up canadian knife stores that sell the EXACT SAME knife.......I'm still fighting to get mine back and it's been 9 months. Fuckin bullshit. You should see our firearm laws lol

This collection would cost at least 6000euro in Europe prices.. what a shame.. I would so much like to collect the para 3 editions...but prices here are insane. 200-350 per knife

[@knifevideochannel4657]

Had a good time getting these on initial drops over the years! Thanks for watching

[@keegan-1024]

What is your favorite knife?

[@knifevideochannel4657]

Probably the S90V Carbon Fiber and Cruwear Gray G10 sprints! Hard to choose though. Thanks for watching

[@ultimateequipment23]

Omg, I always wanted to do this epic collection as well. Respect ! Great videos as well. Subscribed ✌ I even made a similar list 🤗

[@knifevideochannel4657]

The Para 3 collection has been a fun journey, All of them except S90V and gray Cruwear Sprint were purchased on original drops from vendors. Thanks for positive comment and for watching.

@@knifevideochannel4657 Just ..wow. 👍

[@thomaslanders6244]

A lot of the people on Spyderco Forums suck. But, the way Spyderco does Sprints/Exclusives sucks too. Never saw the two different colored handles, they are running out of colors and materials. It’s an impressive collection but I got away from chasing any of them years ago.

[@knifevideochannel4657]

The Cutlery Shoppe Exclusives with the different colored scales are growing on me, Especially the Green/Orange version. I never intended to "collect " different models or start a KZbin channel, It has been a fun ride though. Thanks for watching

[@dustyroads3223]

How does your wife like all these knives? Mines starting to ask how much they cost 🤫

[@knifevideochannel4657]

Funny thing about my Knife hobby! I started the channel back in April 2019 while recovering from 3 level Cervical Fusion. I was collecting for a couple years earlier without really mentioning to the family how many I was amassing. Everybody knew I was buying knives as they were getting them as gifts (for Birthdays and Christmas) throughout. But a friend and/or family member found my channel. 😀 My wife knew I was doing something, But not really sure what. I showed her everything and how I was using the existing Knives to trade/purchase new ones. She also like blades and has a growing Spyderco collection I've been buying for her... mainly based on color combinations! We don't talk cost and I don't really pay attention myself. 🤔😀 Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching Terry!

[@cjbyrne3060]

Red, ora,Ora,, and blue scales look lame. All those, and not one full blackout which is by far the best look.

[@knifevideochannel4657]

I like a DLC blade and all black with Carbon Fiber, Something I've had to build out of different Knives. Thanks for watching CJ

[@ScottSmith-lx5xb]

Blade is way too short. Wouldn't want any mini folder. The military version is right size but this brand costs too much. Minis are worthless. Why collect expensive letter openers

[@knifevideochannel4657]

Thanks for sharing your opinion Scott! Even though I have XL-XXL sized hands, I enjoy occasionally carrying a small knife! Definitely not worthless to me. Also (not that I'll ever sell any ) most of the Para 3s in the video are worth 2 to 3 times what I paid, Who would've thought it 🤔 Thanks for watching

[@ScottSmith-lx5xb]

@@knifevideochannel4657 that's one of the biggest reasons I'd never want one. The price isn't worth the product you get. I purchased a police model in early 80s for $50 new and never wanted any of their other models. There are several other brands I prefer more which also cost much less and are my best user friendly edc's. Such as new Recon 1 bowie blade. They are no 1 pick for all tasks. Best ergonomics, best size, best lock, top notch tight build and design build ý IPresionkuMO

[@HollywoodTacticool]

dude, there's something wrong with you, you need help. i can help you by taking a few of those off your hands. for your sake of course! lol

[@knifevideochannel4657]

I agree! How'd I get from buying a few S&W knives at Big Five...to this! One of these days I'll be motivated to do an entire Spyderco collection video. Maybe an hour would do...lol Thanks for watching

[@hagninety4116]

Honestly there’s no need for that many of this model. It’s possibly the most overhyped and overrated design.

[@knifevideochannel4657]

What's interesting about your comment, Your right if your thinking logically! I started my channel (and knife hobby) recovering from cancer along with cervical fusion. I started having fun buying all sorts of models from countless makers. I had just as much enjoyment chasing the Sprints/exclusives as using them. It's worked out for me as 90% of the knives increased in value. I've been selling and trading a lot more recently which has also been enjoyable. As far as the Para 3 being over hyped and/or overrated, You know what they say about opinions. Thanks for watching

[@thorshammer5134]

Don’t suck on stuff during a video, weird as hell.

[@knifevideochannel4657]

Sorry about that ThorsHammer! I'm a cancer patient and it's really hard to talk during videos without drinking water, That's why most videos are short. Thanks for watching
