About the lanyard hole. I tried the very excellent Lynch deep pocket, but returned to the stock clip. I’m not trying to conceal the knife, but appreciate the grab surface of the stock clip. The stock clip is great unless the carrier is trying to conceal.

Agree about the pocket clip! Finally bought a custom deep carry clip. This knife falls out of pocket with the standard clip more than you might think.

I believe the PM2 is the best EDC/GP knife made. When one considers everything an EDC knife should be, to include fit/finish, utility, cost, capability, locking system, etc., there simply isn't a better GP knife made, IMO. I do like the P3. It serves a great niche segment, for the reasons Rob mentions. Thanks for another great review!

The Shaman is my favorite Spyderco. That honor used to belong to the Para Military 2. Still really like that but if we're being honest, for most EDC tasks, a Para 3 would be more than enough. I just took my S30v Para 3 apart before I watched this video. Cleaned and lubed it and put it back together. I think I''ll do the same with my S110V later.

Best video I’ve seen on the Para 3. Being a south paw and not ever owning a compression lock knife, I wasn’t sure how well it might work for me. I know the Para 2 is available in a left hand version, but that knife is larger than what I would regularly carry. I never considered that the clip would assist a left hander in closing the knife. Also, very good explanation of the blade lock pin and how it affects the action of the blade. Having never owned a Spyderco, they all look a little odd to me, but I like the idea of the thumb/finger hole instead of a thumb stud and I think the wider flat grind on the blade could be beneficial in slicing and balancing in food preparation. My tastes in knives run to those that look to be overbuilt and the Para 3 has that look. I think I’ll order the Para 3, my first Spyderco. GREAT VIDEO!

The Para 3 actually is " taller " than the PM2 - like 1.3 mm or something close to that if I remember my micrometer reading .

New blade steels on knives, new locks, colors etc..

But if you're going to make a lanyard hole, adding he tube just provides another positive locating pin function, especially in Spyderco knives.

Floating stop pin? No, it’s not a floating pin. :My complaint is that the stop pin is carbon steel, and prone to rust.
@TheApostleP3 жыл бұрын
I use the term “floating” to describe the relationship of the stop pin to the structure of the knife. It’s not shouldered and fixed by fasteners to both sides of the handle assembly. The side of the handle opposite the one screw is allowed to move along the pin as the pivot is adjusted. I thought that was obvious in the video format of a review, but perhaps not.

Your public criticism of Spyderco for their warranty and selling off a bunch of your collection because of it arguably caused them to loose potential business and customers. I would expect you to give them their due props now that they fixed it.
