Spyderco Parata! New! The Knife of the Day!

[@PoetFisherman]

Great looking Spyderco. I should just move and get a job at the plant, have them compensate my labor with knives. Would love to see the scales done in burlap micarta or pakkawood. Thanks for the look. This one is going on my want list.

Nice looking knife,like the belly on the blade! Interesting lock!!

Received both of my new Parata’s today. Great little knife. These are everything I was hoping them to be. Love the design, the materials, the action, the lockup is superb and the locking system is really cool as hell. Mine came reasonably sharp, but not scary sharp, by any means. Nice edge grind, though. The handle fits good in my medium glove size hands and it’s nice and grippy, but not too aggressively so. And, for anybody who is worried about it, like I was, since the Ouroboros came with nylon pivot washers, this knife comes with phosphor-bronze washers. One of the first things I looked for; lit up a 4-7’s flashlight and shined right down into the pivot area to see those nice PB washers in there. To me, these were money well spent. Love that big, wide, deep-bellied blade.

Looks like it would be a hell of a skinner.

That belly on that blade is no joke!!

[@jojojaykay]

I was really sure I would get this one when I heard about it. But after I saw the retail price when ordering I was like... nah it’s okay.

[@dombond6515]

Cool looking knife but I have to pass on this 1. I wish spyderco would switch up the scales!!!!

[@TripleEEDC]

Is the stop lock just a backwards back lock? Kind of like the compression lock is basically a backwards liner lock?

Also, I really do love the design of the knife even though I could never see myself personally owning this. I do, however, disagree that the price is reasonable for VG-10. G10 is good but not so expensive anymore as several Chinese companies have low-cost G-10 Knives, and VG-10 is really past its day as being a great value. There is a good reason Benchmade upgrades the steel on its massively popular entry level Griptilians. I think it’s time Spyderco does the same for its entry level Delicas and Enduras, etc. That’s why I am a little surprised to see VG-10 at this price point on an edgy designer knife from Spyderco.

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been excited about a Spyderco knife, like 20 years! But, I ordered two of this one! This looks awesome! VG10 is a great blade steel, G10 is a perfect handle material for a skinning knife. Thumbs way up!

Thanks for the great review. Sure gives us a good feel of these knives. The unusual designs like this are hard to get a feel for from a video or picture, but you do a great job of giving us a “feel” for the knife. I’m off to buy one! Cheers!

It’s a T. rex skull. I love it

[@korling99]

I want a parata with maxamet and one with lc200n

[@jacobwhite953]

I wonder when the Parata will be shipped out. I’ve had this knife pre-ordered for a long time.

[@jimm244]

There’s lots of interesting and well-done features on this knife. It’s probably not for me, but it may become one of those unique quirky Spydercos with a cult following.

Not very finger flickable!
